Trailers & truck bodies
An Industry Leader
Henkel’s innovative solutions are the result of a comprehensive research and development process that considers every aspect of production and design. The Company’s objective of providing maximum value for its customers is the focus of every product delivered. Henkel’s team of scientists and engineers use their expertise to create adhesive, sealants and pretreatments solutions that generate increased efficiency, consistent reliability and lower maintenance costs.
More Than a Supplier–A Partner
In addition to exceptional product quality, Henkel offers a multitude of timesaving and cost-saving initiatives for its customers, including teardown analyses to determine areas of potential cost savings, and customized training programs and workshops.
Better Bonding and Sealing
Henkel’s brand adhesives and sealants, along with such high-performance brands as Terostat, Terosol and Purmelt, provide reliable bonding and sealing of:
- Front moldings;
- Floor panels;
- Sidewall panels;
- Roof panels;
- Interior parts
- Windscreens, Side-windows, and Backlights.
The Market Leader in Pretreatments
Henkel’s Alodine® brand pretreatments and Parco cleaning products are used in conjunction to prepare truck parts for painting. Since many trucks are manufactured with aluminum, the company supplies pretreatment chemistries specifically designed to improve the corrosion resistance of painted aluminum parts. Bonderite® products for galvanized and cold rolled steel are available as well. Terotex® underbody coatings provide corrosion protection and chip resistance, while providing NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) improvements.
Henkel: Finding a Better Way
Henkel supplies adhesives for rigid and elastic bonding to replace rivets, welds, and fasteners. The benefits of bonding versus the alternative methods include increased production, decreased labor rates, more uniform stress distribution throughout a part, and the elimination of seam sealers.
Since some manufacturers do not have a full washing system for pretreating their parts prior to paint, Henkel supplies many of its products in pre-packaged wipes. In addition to hand-wiping capabilities, these products can also be used for touch-up.
As more companies discover the environmental advantages of phosphate-free products, Henkel offers such cutting-edge solutions as Alodine chrome-free conversion coatings and Bonderite NT-1, a phosphate-free nanoceramic coating that sets a new industry standard for strong paint adhesion and corrosion performance.
