New bonding module added to e-learning platform

Henkel has added new topics to its LOCTITE XPLORE e-learning platform, providing ‘An Introduction to Bonding’. Hosted by an endearing cartoon-character called LOC, the five new modules are designed to be entertaining and memorable.

‘An Introduction to Bonding’ provides a good grounding on the science behind the subject through to its practical application. It compares the use of adhesives with mechanical joining alternatives such as riveting, bolting and welding and takes the viewer into the lab to show each joining method being tested to destruction.

It explores how bonding is used in so many modern technologies and explains how it makes joints more reliable, products more durable, lowers manufacturing costs, elevates production throughput and opens up new design options. The presentation also looks at the common myths surrounding adhesives and gives the viewer a step-by-step guide to the recommended preparatory steps to improve adhesion and how to achieve the most effective bond.

LOCTITE XPLORE has been optimised for use on mobile devices to ensure this rich resource is also available in the field.
