Sustainability for heavy equipment

Respect the planet, rethink design and processes: it’s our responsibility to shape a viable future for our generations to come. By leveraging our material know-how and fostering partnerships with heavy equipment manufacturers, we strive to rethink and reevaluate design and processes that generate strong performance and long-lasting value for you and the planet.

Resources

Applications

This is an application image of a tractor
Noise, vibration and harshness sealants

Create stronger, quieter equipment and increase comfort and performance of vehicles with TEROSON® noise, vibration, and harshness sealants.

Structural bonding

Primarily designed to replace welds, rivets, and other mechanical fasteners, high-strength structural bonding adhesives improve aesthetics, performance, and processing costs of heavy equipment vehicles.

Seam sealants

Seam sealants help to effectively and reliably seal in or keep out heat, liquids, solids, and gases. They are paintable and resistant to the high heat of paint cure processes, and work effectively on metals, plastics, and composites.

Electronic and thermal management materials for display monitors

LOCTITE® and Bergquist® materials optimise thermal management, and drive sustainability in the electrical components vital for heavy equipment—from batteries, inverters, converters and chargers, to electronics for intelligent vehicle management.

Window glazing

Henkel’s pumpable high-strength elastomers provide exceptional performance for bonding and sealing windshields on heavy equipment vehicles. They simplify and improve the assembly process while improving torsional stiffness and vehicle safety.

Metal pretreatment

Henkel offers a full range of metal pretreatment solutions to improve efficiency and lower operating costs. BONDERITE® metal pretreatments and conversion coatings provide superior adhesion and protection while using less water and energy.

Thermal management materials

Enable optimal performance in electronic devices and applications while effectively managing heat with LOCTITE® Bergquist® thermal management materials.

Anaerobic machinery adhesives

Anaerobic adhesives fill gaps, enhance seals, and strengthen mechanical assemblies, offering versatile solutions for various applications.

Agricultural machinery

Manufacturers of agricultural and construction equipment face daily challenges–reducing costs, improving efficiency, and increasing innovation, to name just a few. While there are many adhesive suppliers to choose from, they’re not all created equal. Henkel is the supplier you need with a broad product portfolio, global footprint, and the engineering and application expertise to help optimize manufacturing processes, drive down costs, and partner on innovations.
