Electronic products today are increasingly challenged to deliver high quality, exceptional reliability and affordability. Fundamentally, these expectations require materials that enable device protection, robust thermal control and reliable interconnects.

Henkel has confirmed that its LOCTITE 518 gasket sealant can now cure through light surface contamination, provides greater application flexibility and improved curing on inactive metals without an activator.

The quantity of electronics found in all areas of modern road vehicles continues to increase, and electric drive systems are now entering the mainstream. So the need to ensure the reliable performance of electrical and electronic components and systems is taking on new importance. Polymer-based solutions from Henkel are said provide high levels of protection for different component types.

Henkel has just confirmed that one its most popular thread sealants, LOCTITE 577, has been “reformulated”.  As well as being more tolerant of oil, this medium strength, anaerobic sealant for all coarse threads also has greater temperature resistance and improved curing on passive metals such as stainless steel.

Following the success of a strong opening race season in which Nelson Piquet Jr. won the driver’s championship, Henkel is pleased to continue its support of the NextEV TCR team for season two of Formula E, the world’s first competition for formula cars with electric motors. The NextEV TCR team was one of ten teams to participate in Formula E’s inaugural championship season, which began in Beijing in September 2014 and ended in L...

Henkel Adhesive Technologies’ presence at the upcoming LOPEC event (April 6-7) in Munich and the Printed Electronics Europe exhibit (April 27 – 28) in Berlin, will highlight the company’s strong focus on material solutions for printed electronics. New Loctite highly conductive silver ink materials and inks to build force sensors will be featured at both trade fairs, illustrating Henkel’s innovative product development init...

From Hall 4, Booth G61 at the upcoming Light & Building event taking place March 13th through 18th in Frankfurt, Henkel Adhesive Technologies will showcase its total solutions approach to modern lighting applications. With an innovative materials portfolio that addresses the full spectrum of lighting manufacturing requirements – from semiconductor packaging to solder to thermal management and encapsulation – Henkel delivers a sing...

Henkel is targeting LED lighting applications with a reflective coating that exhibits minimal material ageing to help LED luminaires maintain performance and extend their brightness lifetime. Called StabiLUX, it is a high-reflectance white coating that maximizes the usable light from surface-mounted or Chip-On-Board (COB) LED emitters.

According to Henkel, LOCTITE Si 5611 provides good gap filling and sealing capacity along with high durability and resistance to humidity as well as UV radiation. Typical applications include the production of solar and lighting systems, illuminated signage, switches and electronic connectors.

The electronics division of Henkel has just announced the launch of temperature stable solder paste material, Loctite GC10, now available from Ellsworth Adhesives Europe. As the first material of its kind to boast temperature stability, the launch of Loctite GC10 marks a significant breakthrough in the solder paste market.
