Thioether epoxy hardening agents: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent curing in complex geometries leads to structural failure and production bottlenecks. These innovations utilize hybrid chemical crosslinking to ensure rapid surface hardening and deep-section structural integrity.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Thioether epoxy hardening agents?

Premature resin polymerization

(23)evidences

Standard epoxy systems exhibit insufficient reactivity and prolonged hardening times in cold environments. Accelerating this process enables structural bonding in sub-optimal thermal conditions.

Insufficient structural foam integrity

(18)evidences

Standard single-mode curing often fails in shadowed areas or thick sections of epoxy-acrylate resins. Combining dual-cure mechanisms ensures uniform structural integrity across complex geometries.
