I can not think of a single business that operated and maintained a PSM/RMP-covered process that did not utilize LOCTITE®. It is a beautiful product; however, it may be the most overused and abused product within the covered process. When used PROPERLY and per Henkel’s instructions, the product works well. But like most really good products, it eventually leads to misuse in the hopes that it can solve problems that it was NEVER intended to solve. Shortcuts in the proper application of this product can lead to LOPC events, so attention to detail is necessary. For example… did you know that most metals REQUIRE the LOCTITE® “primer” to be used?
