Safer sticking

Henkel has expanded its Loctite health and safety range of non-hazardous engineering adhesives. The three hazard-label-free cyanoacrylates or instant adhesives, are clean and easy to apply for fast positioning and fixturing of parts.

Classified non-irritants, the new additions are able to join a wide variety of dissimilar materials including the bonding of porous/acidic substrates such as wood, paper, leather and cork as well as plastics, rubber and metals. The resultant shear and tensile bond strength is said to be impressive even on very small bond faces. All three instant adhesives are colourless with low bloom and low odour.
