Henkel Lab Focuses on Furniture and Building Component Applications
Henkel’s Furniture and Building Components Laboratory at the Inspiration Centre Düsseldorf provides technical and process support for furniture and building component manufacturers.
The laboratory includes a two-part team: field technicians who support processes at the customer’s site and laboratory specialists who analyze and further develop processes in the laboratory. The applications covered range from flat lamination and edge banding to profile wrapping and 3D lamination. The laboratory analyzes the process requirements identified by the field service team under real-world conditions.
The company’s own machinery enables production processes to be fully replicated on in-house equipment, allowing production processes to be examined at a small scale without time pressures. Facilitating training, the laboratory can be used for fault analysis, product demonstrations, technology comparisons and troubleshooting workshops.
“We see ourselves as an interface that translates practical requirements for our chemists and vice versa,” explained Sebastian Mailänder, head of Application Engineering at Henkel. Learn more at henkel.com.
