ACORN will stock Loctite's Health & Safety range, which is designed to deliver bonding performance without
compromising safety. These products are formulated to reduce or eliminate hazardous substances, enhancing safety in production, application, and end-use. They are not classified as hazardous or toxic and typically lack hazard symbols, risk/safety phrases, COSHH assessments, and declarable CMRs (carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reproductive toxins).
Acorn Industrial Services' in-house product specialists are available to offer advice and assist customers in selecting the appropriate product for their needs. They can also provide plant surveys, on-site visits with Loctite specialists, and maintenance reliability workshops to help teams maximise the benefits of each product.
