The Loctite-Henkel Story
Loctite began producing adhesives in 1956. The impetus for the company’s creation was the development of a unique bonding resin, anaerobic sealant, developed by Dr. Vernon Krieble at Trinity College.
During the 1960s, Loctite developed the popular brand called “Superglue” or cyanoacrylate, which cured at room temperature. Henkel, in 1997, acquired the Loctite name, and it quickly became the primary brand for Henkel Adhesive Technologies.
Henkel and Loctite Products
Loctite has provided consumer and industrial customers advanced sealing and adhesive solutions for over half a century. The company holds over 5,000 patents that are a direct result of the company’s commitment to innovation. Loctite offers breakthrough formulations and frustration-free dispensing solutions in their premium line of quality anaerobics, acrylics, epoxies, urethanes, silicones and aerosols.
Henkel and Loctite adhesives have a proven record for strength, quality and dependability. The products have been used in extremely critical and stressful applications, such as joining airplane parts and constructing of the U.S. space shuttles. They have earned the reputation as the preferred products by professionals and hobbyists and are perfect for construction, repairs and other tasks in an incredibly wide array of industries from food and beverage to the automobile industry.

The Henkel Line of Hot Melts by Loctite
Henkel is a leading manufacturer and marketer of high-performance hot melts that are used in many general industrial applications as well as consumer packaged goods.
These hot melt applications offer several key advantages.
By offering a variety of application methods, ranging from hand-rollers to robotic spray guns, flexibility in part design is possible; greater tolerances in part design are also possible due to their gap filling ability. The adhesives work perfectly for bonding two non-porous surfaces. The hot melt adhesives can be used in high-humidity environments without any degradation of the bond, they have an extremely long shelf life.
Bulk Hot Melts by Henkel-Loctite
Henkel-Loctite has several bulk hot melts with specific manufacturing processes that match particular substrate bonding requirements. The Technomelt 0437 works well on wood, fabric, plastic, or foam.
A good general bulk hot melt is the Technomelt PA7804.
If you need an adhesive with excellent impact, shock, and heat resistant properties for bonding metals and plastic, try the Technomelt PA7901.
