                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants and Plan Administrator
 of the Loctite Corporation Employee
 Thrift Investment Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of financial condition
and the related statements of income and changes in plan equity
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial status of the
Loctite Corporation Employee Thrift Investment Plan at December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the changes in its financial status for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the plan administrator; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by the plan administrator, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                         THRIFT INVESTMENT PLAN
                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan became effective on January 1, 1982 and is a qualified defined
contribution thrift plan which enables employees to save systematically
through payroll deductions.  Through April 30, 1994, eligible employees
were able to participate in the Plan after completion of at least one
year of service.  Effective May 1, 1994, eligible employees may
participate in the Plan after completion of three months of service.  The
Plan will also accept rollovers from other qualified plans.

Participants may elect to make a contribution of one to sixteen percent
of their compensation.  Participant contributions are made through
payroll deductions and, through April 30, 1994, were invested at the
participant's election into one or a combination of three funds:  

  COMPANY STOCK FUND

  The Company Stock Fund is invested solely in Loctite Corporation
  common stock.  Participants' contributions to the Company Stock Fund
  are limited to a maximum of 25% of their contributions.  

  FIXED INCOME FUND

  The Fixed Income Fund is invested in securities and obligations which
  produce a fixed rate of return.  Participants' contributions made in
  1993 to the Fixed Income Fund were invested in a deposit
  administration contract with New York Life Insurance Company, which
  guarantees an effective annual rate of 5.60% compounded annually,
  maturing on December 31, 1998.  Participants' contributions made in
  1992 to the Fixed Income Fund were invested in a deposit
  administration contract with Continental Assurance Company which
  guarantees an effective annual rate of 6.60% compounded annually,
  maturing on December 31, 1997.  Participants' contributions made in
  1991, originally invested in the Fleet Bank, N.A. Temporary Investment
  Fund were invested in a deposit administration contract with
  Continental Assurance Company which guarantees an effective annual
  rate of 6.72% compounded annually, maturing on December 31, 1996.  In
  October 1991, a deposit administration contract was opened with
  Hartford Life Insurance Company which guarantees an effective annual
  rate of 7.51% compounded annually, maturing on October 21, 1996.

  DIVERSIFIED EQUITY FUND

  The Diversified Equity Fund is invested in equity securities. 
  Participants' contributions to the Diversified Equity Fund through
  April 30, 1994, were invested in an open-end, diversified investment
  management company, Fidelity Advisor Institutional Equity Portfolio
  Income, with the Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company.

Effective May 1, 1994, the Plan was amended to offer two additional
investment choices.  In addition to the three funds defined above, the
Plan also offers an open-end diversified management company with Fidelity


                                 - 11 -
<PAGE>


Investments: Fidelity Magellan Fund, and an open-end diversified
management company with Templeton Funds, Inc.: Templeton Foreign Fund.

Monthly contributions are made by the Company, in shares of its common
stock, in an amount equal to fifty percent of each participant's
contribution (up to 6% of participant compensation).  Forfeitures of
participants' non-vested Company Stock Fund accounts are used by the
Company to reduce its contributions to the Plan.  

Participants are fully vested at all times in their contributions and the
investment experience associated therewith.  Participants become fully
vested in the Company's contributions and the investment experience
associated therewith when they complete five years of service with the
Company or after two years of participation in the Plan, whichever is
more favorable to the employee.  In the event of the participant's death,
disability, or retirement, all amounts in the participant's account
become fully vested.   

Employees may begin withdrawing their before-tax contributions and
earnings from the Plan at age 59 1/2.  Effective May 1, 1994, the Plan
also allows participants to borrow from their vested account balances. 
Withdrawals or distributions are made from participants' vested balances
in their elected funds.  The funds are paid in cash from the Short Term
Fund and in common stock from the Company Stock Fund.  

The Short Term Fund receives the monthly participant contributions and
invests them in short term instruments pending allocation of the
contributions to the elected funds.  The Short Term Fund is invested in
Fleet Bank, N.A. Short Term Investment Fund.  

The Company anticipates the Plan will continue without interruption, but
reserves the right to discontinue the Plan.  In the event the Plan is
terminated, participants receive all funds in their accounts including
common stock, whether or not vested.  

Employees participating in the Plan were as follows:

Diversified Equity Fund         542           507            443

The participants above may have invested in more than one of the
investment funds.  All Plan participants are enrolled in the Company
Stock Fund because of the Company's matching contribution, which is
credited to that fund.  The number of participants electing to direct a
portion of their contributions to the Company Stock Fund were 629, 613,
and 540 respectively, at December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The investments in the Fixed Income Fund and the Short Term Fund are
valued at cost plus interest earned.

The investments and receivable in the Company Stock Fund are valued at
market.  The investments in the Diversified Equity Fund are valued by the
investment manager at estimated fair market value.  

The expenses of operating the Loctite Corporation Employee Thrift
Investment Plan are payable from assets held by the Plan, unless the
Company elects to pay such expenses.  The Plan incurred operating
expenses of $50,400, $50,400, and $58,576 for the years ended 
December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.   

The realized gain on the investments distributed to participants from the
Company Stock Fund represents the difference between the average monthly
market price and the average cost of the Loctite Common Stock.  The
realized gain (loss) on the distribution of investments in the
Diversified Equity Fund represents the excess (deficiency) of proceeds
from the sale of the investments over the cost of the specifically
identified investments.  

Neither the Plan nor the Trust are subject to federal income tax as the
Plan and Trust have been determined by the IRS to satisfy the
qualification and exemption requirements of sections 401(a) and (k) and
501(a), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN LOCTITE CORPORATION COMMON STOCK

During 1993 and 1992, net issuances and (redemptions) of the Company
Stock Fund were 19,961 and (737) shares, respectively, of Loctite
Corporation common stock.  These shares were issued and redeemed by the
Company at the average monthly market price.  The above mentioned shares
have been restated to reflect a two-for-one stock split effective
March 19, 1991.

NOTE 4 - MASTER TRUST

The assets of the Plan, the assets of the Retirement Plan of Loctite
Corporation and the assets of the Retirement and Savings Plan of Loctite
Puerto Rico, Inc. are maintained under a Master Trust Agreement with
Fleet Bank, N.A., Trustee.  The assets of the Plan and the assets of each
Retirement Plan are segregated, and accounted for and reported on
separately by the Trustee.  Therefore, separate financial statements of
the Master Trust have not been included.  

NOTE 5 - PARTICIPANTS' TAX STATUS

Effective January 1, 1985, participants could elect to make contributions
in amounts from 1% to 10% on a pre-tax basis and from 1% to 16% on an
after-tax basis or any combination thereof up to a total of 16% of their
compensation.  From January 1, 1991, through August 31, 1991, the maximum
contribution for the members whose earnings exceeded $60,535 was limited
to 7% on a pre-tax basis and 8% for a combination of pre-tax and

after-tax contributions.  Effective September 1, 1991, the maximum
contribution for these members was decreased to 6% pre-tax and 7% for
a combination of pre-tax and after-tax contributions.  Effective 
January 1, 1992, the maximum contribution for members whose earnings 
exceeded $62,345 remained at 6% and 7% respectively.  Effective  
January 1, 1993, the maximum contribution for members whose earnings 
exceeded $64,245 remained at 6% and 7% respectively.  Pre-tax 
contributions, the Company's contributions and the investment experience 
are generally not taxable to the participant until withdrawn or 
distributed from the Plan.  Pre-tax contributions are subject to
reduction in the event that such contributions exceed limitations imposed
by the Internal Revenue Code.

The Department of Labor requires plans to report such gains and losses
under the current value method.  Such method calculates realized gains
and losses on investments sold as sales proceeds less the current value
as of the beginning of the year (or acquisition cost if acquired during
the year).  Unrealized gains and losses are calculated as the current
value of the investments held at the end of the year less their current
value as of the beginning of the year (or acquisition cost if acquired
during the year).  Realized and unrealized gains and losses calculated
using the current value method for the year ended December 31, 1993 and
the amounts presented in the financial statements are reconciled as
follows:
