Their recent re-formulation gives them maximum bond strength on all metals, improved temperature resistance and oil tolerance. Cleaning is less critical and means both of these products can now be used for a broader range of applications.

The upgraded LOCTITE 638 and 648 retaining adhesives carry WRAS and DVGW approval for use in the water industry and now also P1 NSF certification, confirming they are food industry safe too.
