Henkel’s high-performance panel reinforcement products provide tailor-made solutions that enable sheet metal thickness reduction without compromising local panel stiffness and dent resistance. Using Henkel’s low-density reinforcement products, the customer can progress toward thinner-gauge panels and reinforce them locally to satisfy stiffness requirements at a minimal weight cost. This means that both weight and stiffness targets can be achieved while enabling innovative design

Henkel’s High-Performance Panel Reinforcement Products
Henkel’s High-Performance Panel Reinforcement Products support light weighting through enabling sheet metal thickness reduction without compromising local panel stiffness and dent resistance. Driven by the electrification of vehicles, light weighting has become a megatrend in the automotive industry. Aside from offsetting the added weight of EV batteries, light weighting also contributes to fuel-saving effects, less energy expenditure for equivalent performance and enhanced break and suspension performance.
Henkel’s high-performance panel reinforcement products support light weighting through enabling sheet metal thickness reduction without compromising local panel stiffness and dent resistance. There are two primary options, structural reinforcement patches and structural reinforcement sprayable materials. Both options provide several sustainability benefits helping to reduce CO2 emissions.
