Subject: Henkel Loctite 401, 406, 454, and 495 Reformulation
Dear Valued Customer:
On August 24, 2012, we were informed by Henkel Loctite of their plans to revise the formula of their 401,
406, 454, and 495 products. This reformulation is an enhancement that will increase the upper temperature
resistance of these products from 180°F to 250°F. Shipments of the new formulation should begin in late
Q1, 2012. All product labels will be clearly marked to identify packages containing the new formulation.
Henkel Loctite has stated that the overall composition of these products has changed by less than 1%, and
that all other aspects of performance, application, and physical properties should remain unchanged.
This will also not affect MSDSs, product part numbers, Loctite material specifications, QC testing,
Certificates of Analysis, shipping and transportation classifications, shelf life, or storage conditions. The
only document that will be changed is the Technical Data Sheets, which are included with this notification.
We don’t expect this to have any impact on your business or your interaction with Ellsworth. As always, we
just want to make sure that you are kept up to date on any changes we are made aware of. For more details,
please see the attached letter from Henkel Loctite.
Our Engineered Sales Representatives and Customer Service Representatives are available to help with any
questions you may have. Please call 1-800-888-0698 to get in touch with your local representative.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will work with you in any way necessary to facilitate a
smooth transition that will meet your current needs.
Sincerely,
Jake Bauer

Under normal conditions, the atmospheric moisture initiates the
curing process. Although full functional strength is developed
in a relatively short time, curing continues for at least 24 hours
before full chemical/solvent resistance is developed.
