Teroson MS 9381 HPT complies with strict regulatory requirements, eliminating tin, solvents, isocyanates, silicones, and PVC from its formulation while simplifying processing and improving performance compared to older-generation materials.
The UV-resistant formulation is multi-substrate compatible, making it effective for various applications, including cabin window glazing, side paneling and roof skin bonding, and seam and joint sealing.
“With the introduction of its ‘Respect the Planet, Rethink Design’ initiative last year, Henkel reaffirmed its commitment to solutions that combine top performance and environmental responsibility,” says Leandro Pedro, global head of market strategy at Henkel. “The heavy equipment industry is evolving rapidly, driven by growing demands for efficiency and performance, stricter safety regulations, and ambitious sustainability targets.”
He said manufacturers need more than products, they need solutions and partners who understand these pressures and simplify complexity at every step.
“Teroson MS 9381 HPT delivers on this promise,” Pedro added.
Teroson MS 9381 HPT is a single-component, moisture-cure, silane-modified polymer (SMP), primeless adhesive sealant that simplifies the application process, reducing it to two steps versus the requisite three steps for conventional polyurethane (PU) materials.
Its high thixotropic properties and high position tack (HPT) ensure superior handling and application. These attributes help avoid potential errors, ensure processing efficiency, and offer the potential to lower the total cost of ownership.

Furthermore, providing users the ability to source a single material for multiple applications reduces supply chain and inventory control complexities.
Additionally, Henkel says Teroson MS 9381 HPT offers significant sustainability improvements with the elimination of numerous substances of very high concern (SVHCs) and reduction of CO2 emissions.
” Continuous innovation that prioritizes customer product performance, human health and safety, and carbon emission reduction is at Henkel’s core,” Pedro said. “Teroson MS 9381 HPT is completely aligned with these principles, further demonstrating our commitment to lead the heavy equipment and vehicle sector toward a more sustainable future.”
