HOLDING IT TOGETHER

HENKEL HAS BEEN SUPPORTING THE MINING INDUSTRY FOR 70 YEARS WITH ITS SUITE OF ADHESIVE TECHNOLOGIES TO HELP REDUCE MAINTENANCE.

- 

In mining operations where vibration and abrasion are constant, preventing fasteners from loosening remains a practical maintenance challenge.

Henkel's adhesive and abrasion-resistant solutions have long been used on pumps, gearboxes and fixed plant to help keep equipment operational between planned shutdowns.

For more than 70 years, Henkel's Loctite brand has been a symbol of strong maintenance protection for mining and heavy industries, all stemming from a little red tube.

Loctite's most known product, Loctite 243, has been a staple locking and sealing metal fasteners for years.

The famous red bottle is a general-purpose threadlocker that provides a medium-strength bond that prevents fasteners loosening on vibrating assemblies like pumps or gear boxes, working on all metals, including passive substrates. Suitable for use on most 'as-received' fasteners without needing to be cleaned, the Loctite is versatile and heavy-duty.

Loctite 243 can be disassembled with ordinary hand tools for easy service and maintenance and meets rigorous safety standards while curing through most corrosion prevention oils and cutting fluids.
