Furniture & furniture parts
More than ever the
competitiveness of the furniture producers and their suppliers depends on the
use of most modern production processes. Nevertheless the central objects are
not only the adhesives. With best possible coordinated products, processes and
services it is possible to achieve higher quality, productivity and economic
efficiency. The way to put this into practice is shown by Henkel with adhesives
and systems for the woodworking and furniture industry.
Henkel is one of the world’s
leading and most innovative providers of qualified and customary adhesives and
advanced system solutions for the woodworking and furniture industry. Through
its DORUS brand and its global customer service support infrastructure the
woodworking group of Henkel delivers first-class products, process expertise and
complete solutions across the borders all over the world.
Office & Home Furniture
When producing office
furniture, a customized service package consisting of adhesive selection,
technical equipment and process advice is important. Henkel provides their
customers with the conditions for highest quality, productivity and safety in
production.
Wood components
With a customized service
package of various adhesives, technical equipment and process consulting Henkel
sets the stage for the highest quality, productivity and security in production.
Henkel also offers various
synchronized system solutions, completely adapted to the requirement of the
particular customers. The interplay of the involved and the interconnection of
all components is optimised through a continuous dialogue, from the adhesive to
the machine performance. Thus, the customer acquires a proven, individually
fitted ideal solution. The combination of adhesive, substrate and surface area
are tested in our DORUS Technology Center with its own machinery.
Kitchen & bath
An important application field where Henkel
proves its system competence, is the coating of wooden material used for the
production of kitchen fronts and doors. During this challenging process it is
especially important to keep the sealing temperature at the edge. With a
customized service package consisting of adhesive selection, technical equipment
and process advice, Henkel provides their customers with the conditions for
highest quality, productivity and safety in production.
Windows & doors
The coating of products during
the production of doors is an important application range at which Henkel proves
its system expertise. Here, it depends on the ideal interplay of the materials,
the machine technology and the adhesive. With a customized service package of
various adhesives, technical equipment and process consulting Henkel sets the
stage for the highest quality, productivity and security in production.
Ready to assemble
Ready to assemble furniture
have to be light and stable. Light boards offer the desired features and can be
produced efficiently with new adhesive technologies. Up to now PVAc-Dispersions
and Urea Resin glues dominated flat lamination purposes in the woodworking
industry. The further development of the proven Purmelt-Technology for Flat
Lamination leaded to various extended applications. The decisively advantage is
the combination of a inline-production process with the well-known positive
attributes of Purmelt bonding.
Foam fabrication
A global leader, Henkel provides a superior line of water-based,
solvented and pressure sensitive hotmelt adhesives for use in the manufacture of
foam furnishings. Many of the world’s largest producers of mattresses,
residential furnishings and office furniture rely upon Henkel’s comprehensive
range of products to deliver optimal adhesion, while providing the customer with
an attractive and reliable finished product.
An Industry Leader
Henkel adhesives stand at the forefront of a vibrant industry. Among Henkel’s
numerous technological breakthroughs is an outstanding one part water-based

Light gauge steel constr.
components
The Future of Construction
Henkel’s revolutionary Loctite® brand Adhesive Connection System offers a
new and more efficient method for assembling a variety of light gauge steel
building components for both residential and non-residential structures. The
combination of mechanical fasteners and the high-quality Loctite adhesive H8600™
offers significant benefits in cost and assembly time for light gauge steel
components. In field-testing, Henkel’s patented system has reduced installation
time up to 85% over traditional fastening methods, while achieving a 65% savings
in costs.
One System, Many Applications
The Loctite Adhesive Connection System can be used to fabricate a variety of
building components for both residential and non-residential structures,
including:
-
Roof Trusses
-
Floor Trusses
-
Shear Walls
-
Headers
-
Jamb Studs
-
Cantilever Beams.
Specially formulated for
bonding galvanized light gauge steel, the Loctite® H8600™, a two-part structural
acrylic adhesive, may be used in conjunction with screws, pneumatic pins,
rivets, clinches, or other mechanical fasteners.
Save Time, Save Money
The assembly of light gauge steel building components has never been more
trouble-free than with the Loctite Adhesive Connection System. The easy-to-use
system requires fewer fasteners, while providing superior connection strength.
Most of the savings generated
through the system are a result of reduced assembly time. With our shear wall
testing, for instance, the assembly time with the traditional method of using
screws average 45 minutes. The Loctite Adhesive Connection System takes just 5
minutes, while improving the strength of the overall assembly.
Superior Service and Products
Henkel products expose the limitations of conventional adhesives. Loctite® brand
H8600™ adhesive has been formulated to flow easily onto parts without running,
and provide long-term bond strength on galvanized surfaces.
The Loctite H8600 adhesive is
available in side-by-side cartridges for applications requiring portable
dispensing, and 5-gallon pails for semi-automated panelizing processes. From
hand-held dispensers to large volume systems, Henkel offers a full line of
high-performance dispensing equipment to meet every customer’s assembly needs.
With Henkel, panelizers acquire not just a quality product supplier, but a total
solutions provider.
