New nonhazardous adhesives from Henkel

Expanding its health and safety portfolio, Henkel has introduced three new anaerobic products that are free from hazardous substances but don't compromise on performance.

Loctite 6300 is designed for retaining cylindrical assemblies, Loctite 5800 for gasketing, and Loctite 5400 is a thread sealant. The new products are formulated to contain no hazardous ingredients, extending the health and safety range that was introduced with the anaerobic threadlockers Loctite 2400 and Loctite 2700 in 2009.

All Henkel's health and safety range products are free from hazardous substances and declarable CMRs (carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxins), meeting the stringent (EC) No. 1907/2006 - ISO 11014-1 regulations. As such, they do not have to be labelled with hazard symbols, risk or safety phrases.

Loctite 6300 has a viscosity of 350mPa and a shear strength of 20N/mm2. Loctite 5800 is a medium strength liquid gasketing product with a viscosity of 150,000mPa and a shear strength of 12N/mm2.
