Loctite Industrial Automation

Loctite Industrial Automation provides advanced materials that are crucial in groundbreaking industrial automation technologies and the advancement of Industry 4.0. Industrial processes are changing, and artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, robotics, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are moving mainstream. These developments make it critical to have the right material and components to dissipate heat, protect electronics in harsh environments, secure components, and deliver electrical integrity.

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)

PLCs perform highly sophisticated computations and communications that automate electromechanical processes. Advanced materials help manage high thermal loads, bond materials, and protect against dust, contamination, and moisture ingress to bolster performance and reliability.
