The engineers at Henkel were keen to show just how strong and durable their latest structural bonder was, so they decided to prove it by pulling a freight train weighing 208 tons (180-tonnes).

So they applied three grams of LOCTITE Universal Structural Bonder to the plate, allowed it to cure for 60 minutes and connected the engine and the first car. What happened next? Watch the video below to find out. 

The many attributes of this range of Universal Structural Bonders have been achieved through new, patented hybrid technology. This innovative approach substantially extends the application scope of these adhesives which also afford improved health and safety benefits. If it can pull a train, just imagine how it can handle your toughest repair challenges.

The general-purpose Universal Structural Bonders combine the qualities of different adhesives to achieve bond strength, fast fixture speed and durability. They provide improved performance on a variety of substrates and the versatility to solve many more maintenance and repair as well as design and assembly challenges. Formulated specifically for application in harsh factory and plant environments, they are effective in a wide variety of operating conditions, from temperature extremes to high vibration.
