Henkel Corporation’s adhesives meet stringent chemical testing protocol developed by Cree, Inc., for use with their high performance LED lighting components. It collaborated with Cree to identify, test, and validate a wide range of Loctite adhesives to determine their performance in direct and indirect LED assembly applications.

Cree reviewed and verified the results of the tests conducted by Henkel. The manufacturer of high performance LED lighting products has confirmed that numerous Loctite® adhesives, sealants, potting materials and threadlockers satisfy the stringent chemical compatibility testing protocol identified in the Cree® LED Solution Provider Program for use with their LED lighting components.

"Adhesives and sealants are important to the production of an LED lighting fixture," explains David Cox, Director of Alliance Development at Cree. "Incompatible materials such as adhesives can cause the encapsulant to turn brown and block light emitted from the LED. We are excited by Henkel's development of Loctite products that meet our requirements and help to maintain the color point of our LEDs. Such adhesives help customers to ensure the consistent quality and long-term reliability of our LED lighting components."
