INNOVATION _{UNDERSTANDING CHANGE, SHAPING THE FUTURE}

The revolutions in electrification and autonomy are creating an exponentially growing demand for highly reliable automotive electronic components – and a need to optimize every aspect of component design and manufacture. Answering this challenge, Henkel has developed an innovative solution for silicone liquid gasketing for the next generation of automotive electronic components.

As a global leading supplier of adhesives, sealants and functional coatings Henkel is continuously driving sustainability across markets. To further improve its plastics footprint the company has started to relaunch its bonding and sealing portfolio for consumers and craftsmen in Europe. The new packaging concept helps to significantly reduce virgin plastic by using up to 95% of recycled plastic made from post-consumer recyclate ‏(PCR).

Henkel announced today that its new phase change thermal interface material ‏(TIM), Bergquist Hi Flow THF 5000UT, has been named the Global Technology Awards’ TIM category winner. Bergquist Hi Flow THF 5000UT is a groundbreaking phase change material that provides excellent thermal performance without the requirement for extreme mechanical pressure. Even under low pressure, the material achieves thorough wet out. It forms an ultra-thin bond line at the interface, enabling low thermal resistance and excellent heat dissipation for some of today’s most challenging high-performance applications.
