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).
