Industry-Specific Solutions
Tailored bonding, sealing, and thread-locking applications for critical industries
Automotive Manufacturing
Prevent fastener loosening in high-vibration environments. Our threadlockers and anaerobic sealants ensure reliable performance in engines, transmissions, and chassis assemblies.
Key Applications:
- Engine Assembly: Loctite 271 red for critical bolts, 242 blue for routine fasteners
- Transmission Systems: 243 oil-tolerant threadlocker for hydraulic connections
- Chassis & Suspension: 290 green wicking grade for pre-assembled components
- Exhaust Systems: 567 thread sealant for high-temperature applications
Case Study: Detroit Automotive Co.
Challenge: Fastener failures on production line causing warranty claims (500+ cases/year, $2.3M cost)
Solution: Implemented Loctite 243 on hydraulic assembly, 271 on engine mounts (Q2 2023)
Result: Zero fastener failures in 18 months (June 2024 data), 98% reduction in rework, $2.1M annual savings
Electronics & PCB Assembly
Precision bonding for circuit boards, component mounting, and potting applications. Our instant adhesives provide reliable electrical insulation and thermal management.
Key Applications:
