Did you know? On a conventional bolted assembly, there is only 15 per cent metal-to-metal contact and the remaining 85 per cent is simply open air? Conventional mechanical fasteners such as double nuts, spring washers, nylon insert nuts and toothed flange bolts often fail to provide security when up against vibration, thermal expansion, corrosion, bending … Continue reading Adhering to the LOCTITE liquid threadlocker legacy →

Industry expert Michael Rowe says the unsung hero of mechanical fastening is the liquid threadlocker. The longest standing manufacturer of threadlocker products is LOCTITE®. In fact, threadlocking fluid was invented in 1953 by a chemistry professor named Vernon K. Krieble, founder of the original LOCTITE brand. “Traditional methods of mechanical fastening often include lock washers, … Continue reading Threadlockers: Securing production in mining →

The heavy industrial landscape of underground mines and processing plants peppered across the outback can conjure up images that resemble something out of a Mad Max film. But the team at CBC Regency Park is used to contending with the common challenges faced across industries such as oil, gas, mining, and quarrying.  Conveniently located in … Continue reading Serving the South Australian outback →

Weir Minerals has manufactured a new range of adhesive for rubber lining which uses zero VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in a first for the mining industry.

Anti-seize lubricants are commonly used in the mining industry to treat corrosion and the subsequent seizure of metal connections in machine assemblies. But not all anti-seize products are made equal. This is why a hard rock mining operation in North Queensland consulted with the CBC Townsville branch – who they had been working with for … Continue reading LOCTITE anti-seize lubricants rock in mining application →

While the score was only approximately 35mm wide and 10mm deep, the damage on the belt extended for 700 metres, and on a belt that was less than a month old, that cost more than $1 million dollars. As such, it remains the largest single repair in an Australian mining application that adhesive expert Mark … Continue reading A quick and reliable cure for belt damage →

Two key areas that mining operations could improve upon to prevent unplanned shutdowns and increase throughput are equipment reliability and documented predictability, says industry expert David Greig.

Designed to address the issue of damage and wear to conveyor belts, LOCTITE has developed the PC 7350 rubber repair PU resin, which enables in situ repairs to be done extremely quickly and have the belt back in service in less than two hours.

Henkel Australia and New Zealand has announced its recent advancement in hybrid adhesive technologies, LOCTITE Universal Structural Bonders, which have been developed to combine the high speed of an instant adhesive with the bonding strength of a structural adhesive.
