LOCTITE® Joins Forces for a New Sporting Journey

Henkel, through its world-renowned brand LOCTITE®, brings decades of experience, innovation, and cutting-edge technology to sports partnerships.

We are proud to support Simona De Silvestro – an exceptional athlete who, after a successful career in motorsport, has taken a new path: qualifying for the Milan–Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games in the disciplines of monobob and two-woman bobsleigh.

Meet Simona De Silvestro – Race Driver and Proud LOCTITE® Ambassador

In recent months, Simona has worked closely with the Henkel team to improve the reliability and sealing of her bobsleighs using a wide range of LOCTITE® products. She has also contributed to making them more aerodynamic and lightweight by using threadlockers and stud locking solutions wherever possible. LOCTITE® adhesives and metal surface treatment solutions ensure optimal performance even under the toughest conditions—such as bobsleigh racing—where extreme temperatures often combine with intense mechanical stress caused by high speeds.

LOCTITE® Solutions for Confidence Even in Extreme Conditions

When racing in a bobsleigh, Simona De Silvestro relies on LOCTITE® products to deliver maximum reliability even under the most demanding conditions. LOCTITE® structural adhesives, repair compounds, threadlockers, and cleaners help to keep the bobsleigh in top condition – ensuring strong bonds, secure fittings, and resistance to impacts, vibrations, and freeze.

Loctite SF 7063

LOCTITE® SF 7063 is a colorless, methylal, and ethanol-free, solvent-based isoparaffinic, dimethoxymethane, and ethanol cleaning agent for pre-assembly cleaning and degreasing surfaces. It’s designed to effectively remove greases, oils, lubrication fluids, metal cuttings, and fines from substrates before bonding. It's also suitable for cleaning and degreasing machine components during maintenance operations.

Loctite 243

LOCTITE® 243 is a blue, general purpose threadlocker that provides a medium-strength bond. It works on all metals without primer, including passive substrates such as stainless steel, aluminum, and plated surfaces. Suitable for use on most oil-coated, 'as-received' fasteners without cleaning.

Loctite 222

LOCTITE® 222 is a low-strength threadlocker for the locking and sealing of small fasteners under 6.35 mm (1/4") in diameter. It prevents loosening from shock and vibration, removable with hand tools.

Loctite HY 4070

LOCTITE® HY 4070 Universal Bonder is a 2-part, fast-fixturing, cyanoacrylate/acrylic-hybrid adhesive that performs brilliantly on various substrates, including most plastics, rubbers and metals. It’s designed for the assembly of parts with bond gaps of up to 5 mm (0.2") and for applications where the complete cure of excess adhesive is a must.
