“We decided several years ago that bringing Loctite application in-house would allow us to more efficiently and cost effectively apply the coating,” said g to Kyle Lindsly-Roach, director of sales & marketing at E-Z LOK.

The machine was purchased by E-Z LOK nine months ago. It applies Loctite to the external threads of the solid wall inserts, which proceed through a curing oven and afterwards are ready for use.

Having the device at the company’s Gardena, California headquarters has provided multiple benefits. In addition to saving the time and cost of using outside processors, the Loctite can be applied in a semi-automated fashion, increasing throughput.

“Loctite is an integral part of our company’s hallmark E-Z LOK inserts for metal, as it is this adhesive that holds the insert in place once installed,” Lindsly-Roach said.
