Super Glues — fast, strong, and reliable bonding for a wide range of materials, perfect for quick fixes and precision repairs.
Loctite Brand History From 1963 till today
Super glue was invented in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover. He was part of a wartime research team developing clear plastics for use in precision gun sights. They unintentionally discovered a chemical compound of extraordinary stickiness, but they initially saw no use for it in their research.
Only later did Coover see the potential in cyanoacrylates as a glue, and it was produced for commercial sale in 1958 by LOCTITE. It quickly became hugely popular as a useful and versatile household adhesive.
For over 50 years, Loctite has excelled itself as global leader in reliable adhesive solutions. Our state-of-the-art product portfoilo is available in over 80 countries worldwide and is distinguishable for its exceptional speed, strength, durability and ease of use.
