Henkel’s latest new developments in this area include three products: Bonderite C-IC 65001, Bonderite M-NT 2040 R9, and Bonderite M-NT 65000.
Henkel recently announced new REACh-compliant Bonderite products for etch passivation and corrosion protection that are reportedly chromium-free, allow the toxicity labeling to be removed, and reduce the user’s carbon footprint thanks to fewer active steps. In addition, they also provide reductions in product and water consumption.
“There is a growing demand for aluminum parts in several markets and foremost in e-mobility or architectural,” said Raul Hernandez, Henkel’s business development manager for Functional Coatings, Western Europe. “At the same time, aluminum surfaces are increasingly looking to reduce the environmental impact of their processes and products. Our innovative surface pretreatment technologies combine superior conversion results with best-in-class sustainability.”
