Henkel Ltd (Loctite) | Adhesives | Threadlocking | Sealants

Loctite threadlocker is a reliable way to prevent the release or loosening of thread joints due to mechanical vibrations or environmental factors such as corrosion and temperature fluctuations. Loctite threadlocker is suitable for a range of applications.

Key characteristics of threadlockers:

• Single-component
• Clean and easy to apply
• Resists vibration
• Locks and seals all threads
• Reduces inventory costs
   

The main criteria in choosing the right threadlocker out of Loctite`s wide range are the material (plastic or metal), diameter and thread length of the screws or stud bolts used, as well as their strength class. Many Loctite products are universally applicable for a range of thread sizes.

 Benefit of a liquid threadlocker

The threadlocker from Loctite functions by curing in the absence of air. Compared to mechanical locking elements, Loctite solutions have the advantage of a low cost per unit and efficient storage, supply, maintenance and repair. Product life is also extended thanks to the secure seal. Liquid threadlocker are particularly secure as the clamping force is retained, resulting in a high breakaway torque.

Sealant for Gasketing

Gasketing is a sealant between two flanges assembled with screws. The sealant completely fills the space between the flange surfaces, thereby preventing the escape of gaseous or fluid materials in composite machine parts or pipe connections.

Loctite provides sealant products in a range of varieties for this specific application. Slow-curing connections are possible, as is high-strength or highly flexible anaerobic gasketing.

Requirements of the sealant

With gasketing, it is particularly important that the sealant remains intact and leak-proof over the entire life of the connection.

 Your Benefits

• Single-component
• Fills all voids – no fine surface finish needed
• No shimming – no need for re-torquing
• Excellent instant seal
• Permits disassembly
   

Touchdown for Loctite® Instant Adhesive Solutions
Power, strength and maximum speed – instantly

Faster - for universal use
Instant adhesives achieve extremely fast fixturing between surfaces. In particular they are chosen for bonding small parts.

Stronger - for challenging environments
Instant adhesives from the range are also suitable for bonds, continuously exposed water, but proper adhesive selection and ageing evaluation need to be ensured.

Superior - for demanding applications
The adhesion of the instant adhesive range to most substrates is excellent and the bonding strength in shear and tensile mode is very good.

Innovative - for enhanced customer processes
Loctite® instant adhesives provide
 

Structural Bonding - Silicones

• Simplifies construction by increasing strength/rigidity to withstand dynamic loads
• Prevents material fatigue and failure by achieving uniform transmission of the load (stress distribution) and by maintaining the structural integrity (no thermal or mechanical weakening of parts)
• Saves production costs by replacing conventional mechanical fasteners (screws, rivets or welding) Allows the most varied substrate combinations, e.g. metal/plastics, metal/glass, metal/wood etc.
• Reduces and/or compensates stress caused by differential thermal expansion of joint substrates

Silicone adhesives are selected mainly for their capability to elastically absorb and/or compensate dynamic stresses, in addition to the load transmission properties of the adhesive assembly. Besides their elastic properties, many elastic adhesives from Henkel exhibit a high inherent strength (cohesion) and a relatively high modulus, achieving friction-locked joints which, at the same time, have elastic properties.

Wearing Compound

Loctite Wearing Compounds offer maintenance solutions to the problems caused by wear, abrasion, chemical attack, cavitation and erosion.

Typical applications for this product range include air ducts, pumps, impellers, fan blades, propellers, cyclones, etc.

With extremely hard fillers, Loctite Wearing Compound have excellent wear resistance and superior adhesion. They are designed for specific service conditions and to protect and extend the service life of a wide range of plant areas and plant equipment. Their key advantage is their capability to create a sacrificial and renewable working surface, protecting the structural integrity of the original substrate.

Available in trowelable, brushable and sprayable formulations with special fillers for tough conditions, Loctite Wearing Compounds stand up to every corrosion, abrasion, and wear problem you can encounter, and are ideal for all those large-scale repairs that have to last.

Benefits of Wearing Compound

• Restore worn surfaces and extend part life
• Save cost by avoiding part replacement
• Reduce spare part inventories
• Protect parts against corrosion
• Good chemical resistance for effective protection of assemblies
   

Lubrication & Protection

Loctite Lubricants offer superior protection for industrial plant and equipment. This range includes organic, mineral and synthetic based products meeting the requirements of industrial applications.

The typical function of a lubricant is to protect against friction and wear. Lubricants are also used to protect against corrosion by displacing moisture and leaving a continuous coating on the part.

What considerations are important when choosing a lubricant?

When choosing a lubricant, it is important to consider the intended application as well as the environmental conditions to which the assembly will be exposed. Environmental conditions are critical to the successful selection of the right lubricant product. Factors including high temperature, harsh chemicals and contaminants may have an adverse effect on the expected lubricant performance.

Rust Protection, Priming and much more – Loctite Surface Treatment

Loctite offers a wide range of products for surface treatment. This includes products for corrosion protection such as rust protection and rust remover, but also primers, coatings as well as seal rinses.

Rust protection through conversion coating

Effective rust protection not only prevents corrosion, but should also be as cost-effective and environmentally friendly as possible. Loctite offers a range of products in this area with particular regard to these aspects.

In order to provide reliable rust protection, a conversion coating using an immersion or spray method can first be applied to the surface which prevents corrosion. A seal rinse as an after-treatment optimises the rust protection and simultaneously provides improved paint adhesion.

Rust remover and fast-acting rust remover

Rust remover dissipates rust, thereby also providing temporary or permanent corrosion protection. Loctite offers rust remover for universal use made from extremely creep-capable, colourless mineral oil with good lubrication and temporary rust protection.

Fast-acting rust remover can be used in particularly stubborn cases. Seized parts such as bolts, screws or nuts are cooled down extremely and
