Teroson EP 52: first Henkel-developed product to offer vibration damping and structural integrity in one

New Henkel automotive adhesive: one product, twice the power

Düsseldorf – Henkel has introduced the Teroson EP 52 Series, a structural adhesive for increased structural integrity, durability and vibration damping capability. Teroson High Damping Structural Adhesive (HDSA) emerges as a game changer in the realm of structural adhesives. Beyond its exceptional bonding capabilities, this heat-curing, solvent-free, one-component adhesive boasts unique damping characteristics that redefine the landscape of adhesive performance. 

Designed for seamless integration into automated Body-in-White (BIW) production, the Teroson EP 52 Series is fully compatible with existing standard pump dispensing systems used for structural and hem flange bonding. A standout attribute of the new series is its ability to deliver comprehensive vibration damping within weld-bonded structures, addressing a key challenge in modern vehicle and component design while improving overall durability and comfort. 

“The Teroson EP 52 Series represents a significant leap forward in adhesive technology. For the first time, manufacturers no longer need to choose between structural performance and vibration control – they can achieve both in a single, production-ready material. This innovation reflects our commitment to solving real-world automotive engineering challenges and delivering solutions that elevate performance, efficiency, and design freedom for our customers,” says Girdhari Kumar, Director of Product Development Automotive for Americas at Henkel.  

Advanced Performance and Lightweighting Benefits
Teroson EP 52 Series includes a unique chemical cross-linking mechanism that ensures robust bonding and structural integrity, even in high-temperature applications. The adhesive exhibits outstanding resistance to wash-off from aqueous cleaning and pretreatment agents, demonstrating its reliability without the need for pre-gelling or pre-curing.
 
Furthermore, the Teroson EP 52 Series supports vehicle lightweighting initiatives by eliminating the need for traditional bitumen sheets – achieving weight reduction without compromising acoustic performance. With its dual-function innovation and production-ready versatility, the Teroson EP 52 Series positions itself as a true game changer for manufacturers seeking next generation performance in structural adhesives.
