HENKEL BRAND
Loctite Precision adhesives & sealants
The leading brand for anaerobic adhesives, retaining compounds, structural bonding, gasketing, and screen-printable electronic inks and coatings. Backed by Henkel R&D and delivered by HeTone with local support.
Brand Overview
Loctite, a Henkel brand, sets the standard in anaerobic adhesives, with over 60 years of innovation in threadlocking, retaining, gasketing, and structural bonding. Engineers worldwide trust Loctite for mission-critical assemblies in automotive, electronics, and heavy industry.
HeTone stocks the most popular Loctite SKUs in Taiwan and provides design-in assistance for new applications. Whether you need a drop of threadlocker for an M3 screw or a drum of retaining compound for a motor production line, we deliver the right product at the right time.
The line-up now extends to the LOCTITE EDAG electronic inks and coatings family: screen-printable conductive, resistive, and electrode inks for membrane switches, touch panels, printed resistors, flexible heating elements, ESD shielding, and flexible circuits, complemented by instant, light-cure, and thermally conductive adhesives for electronics assembly.
Product Series
Featured product families.
Threadlockers
Color-coded by strength: purple (low), blue (medium), red (high), green (wicking). Prevent loosening from vibration while enabling controlled disassembly.
3 strength levelsEncapsulants & Potting
STYCAST and HYSOL epoxy systems for electronics potting, conformal coating, and structural encapsulation. Outstanding moisture and chemical resistance.
STYCAST / HYSOLConductive Inks and Coatings
Screen-printable EDAG graphite, carbon, and silver inks plus resistive pastes for membrane switches, printed resistors, flexible heaters, ESD shielding, and flexible circuits on PET film and rigid PCB.
EDAG E&C familyInstant and Light-Cure Adhesives
General-purpose and gel cyanoacrylates that fixture in seconds, plus ISO 10993-tested UV and visible-light-cure acrylics for medical device assembly.
Fixture in 5-12 sThermally Conductive Adhesives
One-part adhesives that bond and dissipate heat in a single step for transformers, power transistors, and other heat-generating components, with room-temperature cure options.

A closer look.
EDAG inks bring circuits onto film.
Screen-printable conductive, resistive, and electrode inks deposit functional circuitry directly onto PET film and rigid PCB, the material layer behind membrane switches, printed resistors, flexible heaters, and ESD shielding.
- Graphite, carbon, and silver conductor systems
- M2000RS resistor pastes blend from 10 to 1,000 ohm
- Ag/AgCl electrode ink for medical sensors
Threadlockers, color-coded by strength.
Anaerobic threadlockers fill the gap between fastener threads and cure to a tough thermoset, keeping bolts tight through vibration while still allowing service with hand tools.
- LOCTITE 222 low-strength for small and adjustment screws
- LOCTITE 242 and 243 medium-strength, oil-tolerant workhorses
- LOCTITE 2422 for high-temperature and stainless fasteners
Retaining strength for cylindrical fits.
LOCTITE 648 locks bearings, gears, sprockets, and rotors onto shafts with a high-strength anaerobic bond that fills the entire contact area, preventing micro-movement and fretting wear.
- Withstands service temperatures up to 180 C
- Tolerates lubricants and cutting fluids, no primer needed
- UV fluorescence supports in-line quality inspection
Fixture in seconds, on almost anything.
Instant adhesives cover fast production bonding across metals, plastics, rubber, and porous materials, and the family extends to light-cure acrylics qualified for medical device assembly.
- LOCTITE 401 fixtures steel in about 5 seconds
- LOCTITE 454 gel holds on vertical and porous surfaces
- LOCTITE AA 3321 light-cure acrylic, ISO 10993 tested
Bond and cool in a single step.
LOCTITE 384 is a one-part thermally conductive adhesive that attaches transformers, power transistors, and other heat-generating components while carrying heat away from them.
- 0.8 W/mK thermal conductivity in a structural bond
- One-part, no mixing, with room-temperature cure options
- Suited to production staking and field repair alike
