Equipment used in industrial facilities such as pumps, pipes and surfaces of all kinds - have to be able to withstand harsh conditions and heavy-duty use. Henkel works hand-in-hand with customers from heavy industries to meet these new challenges, providing a one-stop shop for tailored services. The new MRO Application Development Centre at Pune is fully equipped to develop and offer Loctite Polymer Composite solutions to rebuild, repair and protect industrial equipment. With extremely hard reinforcement fillers, Loctite Polymer Composite products have excellent wear resistance and superior adhesion. They are designed for specific service conditions to protect and extend the service life of a wide range of plant and equipment. The advantage of using these products is that they act as a sacrificial and renewable working surface, protecting the structural integrity of the original substrate. The Center has full capability to apply and test the performance of these innovative solutions in typical industrial operating environments.
The Acoustic Engineering Center provides comprehensive testing of Henkel's individual and combined parts and pumpable acoustic solutions, offering customers performance and economical expertise in acoustics, along with detailed analytical results of their findings to offer optimum NVH solutions. In addition to panel vibration and sound propagation of a typical body structure, the facility conducts evaluations for vibration damping or stiffening body panels using materials loss factor. Additionally, sound transmission loss and absorption is used to measure and optimize body-in-white or component treatments. At the Center, Henkel's trained team of engineers analyze acoustic material properties of structures and panels to determine their effectiveness in automotive, off-road equipment and appliance applications. With the latest equipment and software, to perform measurements and analysis, Henkel is able to offer full capabilities including Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and lab testing.
Pradhyumna Ingle, Business Director, General Industry, Henkel India, said, "Henkel anticipates, responds to and meets customers' expectations, building partnerships with them to achieve success. The MRO and Acoustic Centers will go a long way in working with our customers to work on finding complete solutions to their design, efficiency and reliability challenges."
