Henkel introduces new lubricants

Henkel has recently introduced five new products in the Chinese metal finishing market. The new products were developed at Henkel’s Detroit R&D center. Its Shanghai R&D center is cooperating with the United States to localize products for the Asia-Pacific market. Since 1988, Henkel has invested more than US$400 million throughout China. Henkel Asia Pacific is headquartered in Shanghai. All of Henkel’s recent innovative developments are around environmental and sustainable product technologies. Henkel’s latest lubricant developments contain renewable-based raw materials and are formaldehyde free. The recent Henkel mobility enhancer technologies allow significant oven temperature reductions for substantial energy savings and provide outstanding mobility properties for increased line speeds and reduced spoilage for metal customers.
