Like Hoover for vacuum cleaners, Locktite is a generic term for any liquid which is applied to the threads of nuts and bolts to prevent them coming undone in use. It is used exensively in the automotive and aviation industries. The Lockitite company also make a superglue. Loctite is a brand of adhesives, which includes acrylics, anaerobics, cyanoacrolates, epoxies, hot melts, silicones, urethanes and UV/light curing adhesives. The name Loctite was chosen in 1956 by the daughter-in-law of Vernon Krieble, inventor of an adhesive resin that hardened in the absence of air, as a replacement for less-reliable locking washers when securing bolts and screws.The Loctite brand is since 1997 part of Henkel, a German family company with interests in many chemical and industrial products.
