| "Loctite" made it's debut in 1956. |
Loctite Corporation began in a Hartford basement in 1953 as the entrepreneurial endeavour of a Trinity College chemistry professor and his son. Back then, the fledgling adhesives firm was called The American Sealants Company. Its founders had only one product – a unique liquid bonding resin that hardened in the absence of air.
