Loctite
LOCTITE retaining COMPOUNDS over CONVENTIONAL METHODS

Common Challenges

  • Maintaining end-product
    quality
  • Increasing production
    efficiency
  • Reducing cycle
    time
  • Reduce extra
    processes
  • Ensuring design
    flexibility

Common Challenges

  • Bonds dissimilar materials

    Different types of materials can be bonded together using LOCTITE whereas alternate methods such as welding only permit bonding of similar materials

  • Bonds dissimilar materials

    Distributes stress evenly

    The stress of the entire bond area is evenly distributed in the case of LOCTITE whereas the stress is concentrated on particular areas with a nut-bolt or rivet

  • Improves aesthetics

    LOCTITE offers smoother surfaces that are free from weld burns or protruding fasteners

  • Bonds dissimilar materials

    Seals and protects joints

    LOCTITE not only bonds substrates but it also seals an assembly, keeping contaminants from reaching the inside of the device

  • Lower cost per application

    LOCTITE offers value savings on cost per application when compared to other conventional methods of sealing and bonding

  • Bonds dissimilar materials

    Allows easier handling of adhesives

    Usage of LOCTITE can easily be automated through dispensing equipment, which helps in reducing wastage and cycle time

LOCTITE Solutions

  • Anaerobic AdhesivesAnaerobic adhesives cure in the absence of air and the presence of active metal ions to form a solid thermoset plastic, which unitizes the assembly.

    Bonds dissimilar materials

  • Instant AdhesivesInstant adhesives are cyanoacrylates that cure to form a thermoplastic when the acid stabilizer gets neutralized by the surface moisture and triggers a chemical chain reaction forming long linear molecular chains.

    Bonds dissimilar materials

  • Dispensing EquipmentHenkel’s range of dispensing equipment complements the broad adhesive portfolio and offers the capability to dispense almost any adhesive technology for processing and design needs.

Structural Adhesives

LOCTITE offers a wide portfolio of structural adhesives mentioned as follows:

  • Epoxies1 or 2 component Epoxies are best for bonding rigid assemblies due to their excellent gap filling, very high strength, and outstanding chemical resistance

    Bonds dissimilar materials

  • Acrylics2-component no-mix system acrylics are best for bonding rigid to slightly flexible assemblies due to their good chemical resistance and very high strength

    Bonds dissimilar materials

  • HybridsHybrids are best for bonding different substrated with high strength requirements due to their fast cure time and good mechanical performances
