Henkel Introduces Best Ever Loctite® Medium and High Strength Threadlockers in Asia-Pacific
Inventor of liquid threadlockers launches two new formulations that take performance reliability to a new high
The performance improvements for the formulations have been realized while maintaining the core properties of medium and high strength threadlockers. The current Loctite® Material Specification for Loctite® 243, including appearance, fluorescence, viscosity and compressive shear strength, will remain unchanged for the new Loctite® 243 as well. This means that industrial customers can continue using Loctite® 243 for their existing medium strength applications with the existing equipment.
Ken Martindale, Marketing Director Asia Pacific adds: “We at Henkel are committed to technology innovation to improve our product performance and help our industrial customers stand at forefront of their own industries. The launch of Best Ever Loctite® Medium and High Strength Threadlockers have brought industrial end-users oil tolerance, workability on all metals, and improved temperature resistance, all in one formulation through leveraging the advancement in industrial adhesive technologies.”
The original Loctite® invention, developed in 1953, was a unique liquid resin that hardened in absence of air and in presence of metal. This pioneering technology was first used as a liquid threadlocker and changed the fastening methods in several industries by solving problems customers had long accepted as "unsolvable". Increasing number of customers every day choose Loctite® threadlockers to gain equipment reliability and cost savings.
