The Teroson EP 52 Series from Henkel is an 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 bonding capabilities, the heat-curing, solvent-free, one-component adhesive boasts unique damping characteristics.

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," said Girdhari Kumar, director of product development automotive for Americas at Henkel.  

The adhesive includes a unique chemical cross-linking mechanism that ensures robust bonding and structural integrity, even in high-temperature applications. It 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.
