The Loctite Corporation was founded in 1956 after Trinity College (CT) Professor Vernon K. Krieble invented thread-locking fluid, an adhesive that prevented mechanical fasteners from corroding or coming loose, even under heavy forces. In 1997, Loctite became a brand of Henkel. Loctite is renowned for its customer focus, innovative ethos and tailor-made solutions. Its products and services help maintenance personnel prevent chronic equipment failures that lead to unplanned downtime. They also enable design and production teams to reduce costs and extend product life with new assembly methods.
Over its history, Loctite has developed many other products that have proven effective in aerospace manufacturing and repair.

A threadlocker is a liquid adhesive designed to secure fasteners from loosening between maintenance cycles. For over 60 years, Loctite have been producing a variety of threadlockers suitable for a wide range of applications. These so-called “red bottle” products can be applied in place of conventional fastening methods and help to prevent loosening of threaded assemblies.
The blue bottle Loctite instant adhesives have been around for over 50 years. Referred to technically as cyanoacrylate adhesives, and commonly referred to as superglues, these products are used when time is of the essence. Instant adhesives cure very quickly when confined between surfaces, exhibiting excellent adhesion on most substrates and especially on small to medium sized parts.
