Henkel is a leading provider of advanced adhesive, bonding, sealing and protection technologies for reliable UAV and unmanned systems assembly and manufacturing.
Unmanned Systems Technology (UST) is pleased to announce the addition of Henkel to our global supplier ecosystem. Their new supplier profile showcases a comprehensive range of advanced adhesive and sealant solutions designed to address critical hardware, assembly and manufacturing challenges for drones and robotic vehicles.
Unmanned platforms must withstand demanding operating conditions, including high vibration, dynamic loads, mechanical stress and extremes of climate, while maintaining reliability and minimizing weight. Henkel’s LOCTITE® and TEROSON solutions support secure fastening, motor assembly, structural bonding, environmental sealing and electronics protection, while also providing greater design freedom and reduced assembly requirements.
Key capabilities and offerings from Henkel include:
Fastening, Sealing & Retaining: Threadlocking, thread sealing and retaining solutions secure critical fasteners, threaded fittings, shafts, bearings and housings against vibration, movement, leakage and operational stress.
Structural & Motor Bonding: Structural adhesives support lightweight frames, brackets, housings and mixed-material components, while magnet bonding solutions secure rotor magnets against high RPM, vibration and centrifugal forces.
Rapid Component Bonding: Instant bonding solutions enable fast assembly and repair of plastics, rubbers, elastomers, metals and porous materials used in small UAV components and accessories.
Flexible Bonding & Environmental Sealing: Elastic bonding, gasketing and sealing technologies help protect UAV assemblies from moisture, dust, oil, weather exposure, vibration, movement and thermal expansion.
Electronics Bonding & Protection: Potting, sensor bonding and electronic assembly solutions protect sensitive UAV electronics against vibration, moisture, dust and mechanical stress.
Composite Production Support: Cleaners, mold sealers and release agents support repeatable manufacturing of lightweight composite, FRP and advanced-material UAV components.
Supporting Process Technologies: LOCTITE® cleaners, primers and activators enhance surface preparation, cure speed and process reliability across bonding, sealing, threadlocking and retaining applications.
From airframe and motor assembly to electronics protection and composite manufacturing, Henkel provides technologies spanning multiple stages of UAV production. These solutions enable manufacturers to create durable, lightweight assemblies while improving production consistency and protecting critical components against the mechanical and environmental stresses encountered during unmanned operations.
