Leading adhesive specialist, LOCTITE®, will showcase its latest innovations for the medical device industry at Medical Technology Ireland on 24-25 September 2025, at the Galway Racecourse.
Visitors to its stand at Linkway 79 will discover the comprehensive portfolio of LOCTITE adhesives, dispensing systems, and curing technologies – all engineered to help medical device manufacturers design and produce smaller, safer, and higher-performing products.
With more than 40 biocompatible adhesives – alongside hundreds of other proven solutions – LOCTITE empowers customers to enhance design flexibility, improve manufacturing efficiency, and meet stringent regulatory requirements.
As part of the event’s conference programme, Stephen Fearon, Application Engineer at Henkel Ireland, will present “Novel advancements in LOCTITE Cyanoacrylate Adhesive Technology.”
Developed at Henkel’s ‘My Green Lab’-certified R&D centre in Tallaght, Dublin, this latest medical-grade adhesive offers rapid curing on diverse substrates, exceptional thermal performance, and compliance with ISO 10993 protocol testing.
The session will explore the science behind this and other cyanoacrylate adhesives, Henkel’s unique monomer production capabilities, and how this breakthrough technology meets the evolving demands of healthcare and medical device manufacturing, from complex assemblies to sterilisation resilience and long-term durability.
In addition to its product displays, LOCTITE will also highlight its ongoing commitment to sustainability through advanced adhesive formulations that reduce or eliminate chemicals of concern such as CMRs, SVHCs, and skin irritants – supporting safer workplaces and more sustainable manufacturing processes.
“Medical Technology Ireland is a key opportunity for us to connect directly with innovators in the medical device sector,” said George Hickey, Market & Customer Activation Manager at Henkel. “Between the LOCTITE stand at the show and Stephen’s in-depth technical talk, we’re looking forward to showcasing how our advanced adhesive technologies can help manufacturers achieve next-generation performance, safety, and sustainability.”
