Used in a range of facilities from industrial bakeries to dairy and meat processing plants, Loctite® maintenance products – threadlockers, thread sealants, liquid gaskets, retaining compounds, lubricants, cleaners and floor/concrete repair compounds – extend the life of equipment, increase line efficiency, improve operator safety, protect product quality, enhance plant hygiene and reduce operating costs.

Henkel’s most recent innovation for food processing is the first threadlocking agent to comply with the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and FDA regulation 21 C.F.R. 175.300.  Loctite® 2046™ secures threaded fasteners in any application, even those located above the conveyor line. It also prevents the growth of bacteria between threads and endures daily wash downs.  This threadlocker can be used on mixers, fluid fillers, conveyors and equipment that operate at temperatures up to 400ºF such as deep fryers.

All the company’s maintenance products and programs for food and beverage processing are highlighted in Loctite® Products at Work in Food and Beverage Plants, LT-5086, a six-page brochure that offers product features, benefits, technical data, applications and industry certifications.
