MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich.,
April 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Henkel will discuss its new coating technology for Automotive
combustion engine applications in a technical presentation at SAE
World Congress and Exposition. The topic will be presented at
10:20 a.m. on April 26th in Room W2-63 at COBO Hall by
Henkel technical expert, Shawn Dolan
supported by a team of experts from FEV Inc. It highlights a study
Henkel conducted in collaboration with FEV that shows that Henkel's
Electro Ceramic coating technology reduces emission formation and
has the potential to reduce fuel consumption inside the combustion
chamber of internal combustion engines.

In addition to the findings of the study, the technical session
will also touch upon the superior corrosion resistance properties
exhibited in high temperature and harsh environments.
The flexible coating can be used on a variety of light metal
substrates, and is the first of its type based on titanium oxides
electrodeposited from electrically assisted hydrolysis of metal
complexes.
"With the introduction of new CAFE standards in the Automotive
industry, it is more important than ever to utilize materials that
reduce fuel consumption," said Chuck
Evans, senior vice president and general manager, NA
automotive, Henkel. "Henkel's study with FEV which we will be
presenting will show how these Electro Ceramic Coatings can help
meet these standards."
