To help engineers determine what kind of threadlocking adhesive is most appropriate for each job, Henkel has introduced a new website and produced a brochure showing the capability of its Loctite products in this important area.
‘Every day, end products that include threaded fasteners are used by us all,’ said Colin Chapman, marketing manager at Henkel. ‘Threadlocking adhesives need to be secure - yet, in many cases, there is also a requirement for easy disassembly when it comes to servicing arrangements. Using the right adhesive is, therefore, vital. The website and guide help engineers through the choices.’
Alongside product details, the website at www.loctitesolutions.com/uk contains a host of useful information - including a calculator that shows how much adhesive is needed for specific situations, case studies and an overview of threadlocking technology. Technical datasheets can also be downloaded via the webpage.
The brochure also discusses why threaded assemblies fail, the security of the components and how Loctite adhesives work and their correct use. This handy product information is supported by a number of attention-grabbing case histories.
The fully illustrated guide is available from Henkel by telephoning 01442 278000 or e-mailing technicalservice.loctite@uk.henkel.com.
