REFORMULATED
ADHESIVES
HENKEL is reformulating all
technologies, adhesives for bonding
and sealing to provide new or
improved characteristics to widen
their scope of application.
One example is LOCTITE 518,
which was introduced to overcome
the problems associated with
conventional pre-cut compression
gaskets. This anaerobic adhesive
can now cure through light surface
contamination and works well on
stainless steel and aluminium
without an activator. It has also
been made available in pen form,
delivering the adhesive via a roller
ball, making application easier,
with no waste and less mess.
Another illustration of Henkel
innovation is its patented hybrid
technology that harnesses the
strengths of different adhesive
technologies to provide a unique
combination of characteristics. It
is the basis of the new generation
LOCTITE Universal Structural
Bonders that combine bond
strength, fast cure and durability.
Currently four different adhesives
complete this range, each with its
own distinguishing features and
benefi ts. These bonders extend the
scope of application for structural
adhesives in both design and repair.

The Defendants argued that
using the Candy Colors on a

need to make sure they are kept
safe, especially in settings where
they may be exposed to dangers
such as severe weather, corrosive
atmospheres, tampering or theft,”
said Kevin de Stadler, UK & Ireland
