are continuing their advance as lightweight engineering materials. An important factor in the part design is the orientation of the fibers in the loading direction. However, the method of laying individual fiber rovings in the direction of force is almost never used. It is facilitated by a new process in which a robot tracks the lines of force and fixes the filaments with a cold adhesive system.

Bonding plastics poses a challenge because of the special problems associated with low-energy surfaces. While these can prove intriguing for researchers and users alike, they can be resolved successfully thanks to innovative adhesive technologies and high-performance bonding solutions. 

Surfaces: The Art of Strong Bonds 

At the European Coatings Show 2015, Wacker Chemie AG, Munich, Germany, will introduce novel, silane-terminated polymers for the formulation of industrial adhesives and for sealing flat surfaces. Known as Geniosil XT, the new binder makes it possible to produce materials that are extremely tear-resistant and at the same time highly elastic.

Huntsman Advanced Materials has announced at JEC World 2016 that it has developed a new epoxy resin system and a novel and cost efficient process to give an entirely new compression molding concept. By combining a new fast-cure Araldite epoxy chemistry with a new compression molding process, Huntsman is not only facilitating the simple production of structural composite parts, but is also enabling cycle times as low as one minute without any further post-curing. For high-volume applications such as automotive, this process makes cost-efficient manufacture of high-performance structural parts using thermoset technology a reality.

For Abrasive Applications 

Plastic/metal hybrid structures for industrial applications have been established for years, e. g. for front-end carriers in automotive vehicles. Previously, in assembly injection molding joints were based on form/force fit or friction locking. Novel adhesion promoters now permit adhesive bonding of hybrid structures with improved component properties.

Demand for commercial aircraft is booming worldwide. With the new flame-retardant structural adhesive, Delo-Duopox AB8162, Delo Industrie Klebstoffe GmbH & Co. KGaA, Windach, Germany wants to make the production faster. The company has developed its new, two-component epoxy resin especially for lightweight structural joints in aircraft interiors, focusing on fast build-up of strength. The resin cures at room temperature, but has been optimized for temperature-accelerated curing. For example, at a temperature of 60 °C, a curing time of 15 minutes is sufficient to achieve functional strength (>= 10 MPa). Consequently, components can be further processed after this time.

From the development of laundry detergent packaging adhesives for its own use to today’s products in more than 800 segments the company‘s solutions are integral parts of countless consumer and industrial goods.

100 years ago, Henkel began selling its first adhesive solutions to neighboring companies. From the development of laundry detergent packaging adhesives for its own use to today’s products in more than 800 segments the company‘s solutions are integral parts of countless consumer and industrial goods.

The success story of Henkel Adhesive Technologies began 100 years ago, because the company made a virtue out of necessity. After the end of the First World War, the occupation of the Rhine and Ruhr threatened to cause a shortage of adhesives at the company‘s home base in Düsseldorf (Germany), which were needed to seal the own product packaging for detergents. In 1922, Henkel therefore started to develop and produce paper, cardboard and packaging adhesives for its own use. With the construction and start-up of its own adhesives factory, the company also began selling adhesive products to neighboring companies on June 26, 1923. The first products included the painter‘s glue Mala and the wallpaper paste Tapa, both based on potato flour.

“With our pioneering spirit and innovative strength, over the last 100 years, we have become the world‘s largest manufacturer for adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings, creating value for more than 100,000 industrial customers, as well as millions of consumers. Our next step to create value across industries around the world is to develop the sustainable solutions necessary that enable circularity and CO<sub>2</sub> reduction,“ explained Mark Dorn, Executive Vice President Henkel Adhesive Technologies. “Then as now, we collaborate with our customers to turn challenges into opportunities and to innovate products and solutions.”

Adhesive Technologies has globally pioneered through patented inventions, innovation power and strategic acquisitions. Inventions for example include the first Pritt glue stick in 1969, which took inspiration from the twist mechanism of lipstick and revolutionized papercrafts for more than 50 years. In 2001, Pritt was given a “Space-Proof” seal of quality and was sent to the International Space Station.

In the industrial sector, adhesive solutions from Henkel have transformed production processes and product designs in automotive, electronics, packaging and many more. The technologies provide tailored functionalities that include strong bond, sealing, coating, conductivity of heat and electricity, recyclability and many more. With the acquisition of the Loctite Corporation in 1997 Adhesive Technologies successfully integrated capabilities to move the business to a new level. Today, Loctite is the world‘s largest adhesives brand.

Henkel has demonstrated the diverse performance capabilities of its solutions in many ways over the past 100 years. In 1987, for example, Ceresit products were used in the renovation of the Great Wall of China. And in 2015, Henkel developed a customized adhesive to professionally reattach the broken-off beard of Tutankhamun‘s famous death mask.

“We are very proud of our success story of 100 years at Henkel Adhesive Technologies. A look at the last 100 years impressively shows the continuous development of our technological know-how and market expertise. With this strong history of innovation and remarkable achievements behind us, we look forward to a bright future where Adhesive Technologies continues to make history and create the solutions of tomorrow,” concluded Mark Dorn.

The central focus of Adhesive Technologies‘ innovation activities today is on developing sustainable solutions for its customers. The business unit is consistently working on products that enable resource efficiency in production and during use throughout the entire life cycle and that are based on renewable or recycled raw materials. In addition, Henkel offers a growing portfolio for the recyclability of, for example, packaging or consumer goods and the repairability of everyday products.

To take its innovation capabilities to the next level, Adhesive Technologies has opened its Inspiration Center Düsseldorf at its home site in 2022. In this modern innovation center with more than 30 laboratories, over 650 Henkel experts work on highly effective and sustainable solutions in adhesives, sealants and functional coatings. At the same time, the state-of-the-art building serves as a global customer center where Adhesive Technologies presents its entire technology portfolio and strengthens collaboration with its customers from over 800 industry segments. In 2023, the business unit will gradually open another global innovation center in Shanghai.
