Two-component curable adhesive chemistry: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Adhesive bond failure during disassembly leads to substrate damage and high rework costs. This lever engineers the chemical crosslinking density of two-component pressure sensitive systems to enable controlled debonding.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Two-component curable adhesive chemistry?

Irreversible component bonding

(11)evidences

Permanent adhesion prevents the non-destructive separation of joined parts during recycling or repair. Enabling controlled detachment allows for material recovery and component reuse.

Inadequate substrate bonding strength

(9)evidences

Insufficient load-bearing capacity and poor adhesion to substrates. Improving bond integrity ensures mechanical reliability in high-stress applications.

Irreversible substrate bonding

(8)evidences

Permanent adhesion prevents non-destructive disassembly or recycling of components. Enabling controlled separation reduces material waste and facilitates repair.

Permanent substrate bonding constraints

(6)evidences

Traditional structural adhesives lack a mechanism for clean separation after application. Enabling controlled detachment prevents substrate damage during repair or recycling.
