Henkel Adhesive Technologies

Filtration

In water, air, and other fluid systems, industrial adhesives are required to separate the feed from the filtrate. Henkel systems and technology maximize the efficiency of this separation and improve filter performance for spiral wound elements, hollow fiber modules, carbon block filters, and pleated filters.

Fluid filtration

Beyond water filtration, efficient industrial adhesive solutions are essential in several other areas such as food and beverage, mechanical fluids, and medical applications. Fluid filters must meet specific industry requirements across a variety of conditions, from hot oil or solvent resistance to stringent healthcare needs in dialysis and other uses.
