With new packaging for the Loctite 55 thread sealant, Henkel is addressing criticisms of the previous packaging. For example, the lid is now integrated and the packaging is also made from 70 per cent recycled plastic.

The new packaging for Loctite 55 is made from 70 per cent recycled plastic and makes applying the thread sealant even easier and more convenient for users. An integrated lid prevents the cap from falling off or getting lost. The thread sealant is dispensed with a new pre-tension to make application easier. In addition, the top of the cap is now transparent, so that it is clearly visible. how much product is still available is. Proven functions of the packaging remain unchanged: Loctite 55 is being launched with new sustainable and improved packaging It is easy to handle and dispense and still has the integrated thread cutter that has made Loctite 55 such a favourite with installers.

The ideal choice for sealing metal and plastic threaded joints, Loctite 55 replaces hemp and PTFE tapes. The product requires no curing time and provides an instant, complete pressure seal. Simply wind it onto the thread with tension and then cut the thread sealant with the integrated cutter. Crucially, Loctite 55 does not crack, so threaded connections can be reliably readjusted to align fittings and gauges without causing leaks. This gives users more flexibility during installation and saves time for cleaning and resealing.

„Our customers love Loctite 55, but there is always room for improvement,“ says Celine Blais, Senior Innovation Project Manager at Henkel. „In the past, we often received feedback that the lid was easily lost and it was difficult to see how much product was left - the New packaging solves both points of criticism. However, we have not only redesigned the packaging, but are now also using 70 per cent recycled plastic. This means that Loctite 55 is now also making a valuable contribution to the development of a circular economy.“
