The Suzhou Loctite Impregnation
Service Center (LIS) is a modern 1,000
square meter workshop located in the
center of Suzhou Industrial Park which
is 50 km from Shanghai. This service
center, located in the vicinity of major
automotive manufacturers and their
suppliers, means reduced transportation distances equating to time and
cost savings.
Staffed with in-house technical service engineers, LIS offers a world class
level of quality and service with maximum flexibility to increase efficiency in
customer’s processes.
Loctite is a standardized process flow,
quality system, fully automated computer controlled impregnation system,
and high-tech resins deliver consistent
quality and sealing performance. Once
parts are returned, customers can expect
maximum sealing rates, zero damage,
and zero distortion, clean and ready to
use parts for the subsequent processing
steps, the company stated. The highly
efficient design of Loctite impregnation
service enables customers to achieve
greater levels of sustainability by minimizing wasted resin and shortening the
processing time.
Loctite Impregnation solutions
reliably seal all forms of porosity
in many automotive parts, such as
cylinder heads, water pumps and
compressors.
Since its establishment, Henkel has
hosted experts from foundries, automobile manufacturers, and machining industries. Henkel plans to further expand the
Loctite Impregnation Service Center in
the coming years in order to accommodate an increasing need for quality and
innovative technologies from the Asian
automotive market.
