Threadlocking

Vernon K. Krieble, founder of Loctite

It was in 1953 that Vernon K. Krieble invented anaerobic threadlocking – an adhesive that only cures in the absence of air – and in so doing the Loctite story began to flow. Krieble’s discovery was regarded as so pivotal that the Loctite brand was created to promote and sell his invention (the name itself came from Krieble’s daughter-in-law). Loctite and threadlocking are bound together like nut and bolt – and remain the go-to brand for threadlocking adhesive.
