Good to know

Loctite is used in workshops, vehicle maintenance, electronics and DIY. The same name covers both small consumer tubes and industrial solutions, and many products are sold by number, such as the instant adhesive 406 or the threadlockers 222, 243 and 2400. Loctite began as a US company, but it has belonged to a German group since 1997, so it counts as European ownership.
