Have you ever questioned whether the Loctite® product you own is genuine?

By typing the keyword "Loctite" on the search engine, thousands of product results appear just in an instant with different price range. If you start doubting their authenticities, you are quite right! Henkel China has been proactively working with the Economic Investigation Department of the Shanghai Pudong Police to successfully combat illegitimate business and counterfeiting activities. With recycling authentic packaging and re-printing identical labels, the counterfeit products were meant for export to the Philippines and other Asian markets.

Hot melt tank pressure impacts the rate of adhesive flow and amount of product being dispensed. Operators must manage the pressure setting, integrate set speed in the application and avoid adhesive build-up and overspray. Tank pressure is critical to efficiency on the production line.

In this episode, we talk to our expert about the crucial role of retaining compounds in both machinery repair and manufacturing processes. While these adhesives are well-established in the machinery repair market, their potential in standard assembly materials for manufacturing is often overlooked. We explore how retaining compounds enhance the assembly of cylindrical parts, such as bearings, bushings, gears, and rotors, onto housings or shafts. We also discuss their ability to address surface irregularities, prevent issues like fretting corrosion and oxidation, and distribute stress more uniformly, ultimately increasing reliability and revenue in both maintenance and initial product assembly processes.
