Go Go Go for Glazing ...

At Henkel, we offer a range of solutions for structural bonding and pre-treatment of glazed units. Our adhesive experience in the glazing industry has taken us to the forefront of the manufacturing process. We have helped our customers improve production processes, reduce manufacturing times and improving H&S using our range of adhesive and sealants.

Our products offer several benefits including:

• Ultra fast curing and flexible product ranges
• Reduced production times versus traditional 1K silicone processes
• Cleaner and faster tool off times
• Improved Health and Safety benefits
• Extensive range to suit all production environments

We observe many customers using single part adhesive products that can often take up to 48 hours to achieve handling strength. The result is a large amount of WIP and increased dead time for production. Henkel's fast cure structural range can allow you to move your units in as little as one hour!

Here is an extract from a customers article, supported by Henkel (full post below)

The bottleneck in production was mainly down to floorspace and throughput due to the long open times of traditional silicone products. “By comparison with our previous glass bonding adhesive, the Teroson adhesive gives us longer open time but cures much quicker, The bondline is sufficiently hardened for us to clean off any excess within the hour and a good degree of cure in just four hours.”
