         This Amendment No. 8 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements 
the Schedule 13D filed on June 3, 1985, as previously amended (the
"Schedule 13D"), of Henkel Corporation, with respect to the Common Stock, 
$.01 par value ("Common Stock"), of Loctite Corporation ("Loctite" or the
"Company").  All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.  

         HCI expended an aggregate of approximately $15,510,000 in
connection with its acquisitions, since April 15, 1994, of 349,075 shares of
Common Stock.  The sources of such funds were working capital of HCI, as well
as loans and capital contributions from Henkel Corporation from its own
working capital.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         The shares of Common Stock to which this Amendment relates
were acquired in order to expand the minority investment of HCI in Loctite in
accordance with the Agreement and the Rights Agreement, previously described
in the Schedule 13D, under which Henkel may beneficially own up to 35% of the
outstanding Common Stock, such maximum percentage being subject to adjustment
under certain circumstances (the "Henkel Percentage").  Under the Agreement
and Rights Agreement, Henkel is permitted to increase its ownership of Common
Stock, up to the Henkel Percentage, in open market transactions, privately
negotiated transactions, transactions pursuant to the right of first refusal
from the Sellers previously described in the Schedule 13D, or otherwise.

          Based on, among other things, the financial performance of
Loctite, the market for and price of Common Stock, the availability of shares
of Common Stock from the Sellers, and other general market and investment
conditions, Henkel may, from time to time, purchase, in the open market or in
privately negotiated transactions (including, but not limited to, purchases
from one or more Sellers, pursuant to the right of first refusal or
otherwise), additional shares of Common Stock, consistent with the provisions
of the Agreement and the Rights Agreement, to increase its ownership up to the
Henkel Percentage.  Henkel may also, based on such factors, determine to sell
shares of Common Stock, from time to time, as permitted under the Agreement
and the Rights Agreement.

         As previously described in the Schedule 13D, under the
Agreement, Henkel is entitled to recommend an additional person
to serve as Director.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Henkel has recommended that
Christoph Henkel be added to the Board.  Mr. Henkel is a citizen of the
Federal Republic of Germany and is currently the Vice Chairman of the
Shareholders' Committee of Henkel KGaA.  HCI anticipates that Mr. Henkel will
become a member of the Board on November 15, 1994.

         Except as set forth herein, Henkel has no current plans or proposals 
that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events enumerated in 
clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, as promulgated by the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.   

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a) - (b)  At the date hereof, HCI beneficially owns
10,834,635 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately
30.6% of the 35,369,670 shares of Common Stock outstanding on June 30, 1994,
as reported in Loctite's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30,
1994.  Subject to the limitations of the Agreement and the Rights Agreement,
HCI has sole power to vote and to dispose of the shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by it.

          Subject to the limitations of the Agreement and the Rights
Agreement, HCI has a right of first refusal with respect to shares of Common
Stock representing approximately 9% of the outstanding Common Stock.  Henkel
disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to all shares of Common Stock
subject to the right of first refusal.

          (c)  Certain information with respect to each transaction
in the Common Stock since April 15, 1994 (the date of Amendment No. 7 to the
Schedule 13D) is set forth in Exhibit 12 hereto.  Except as set forth herein,
no transactions in shares of Common Stock were effected during the past 60
days by HCI, or, to the best of its knowledge, by Henkel KGaA, Henkel of
America, Inc., Henkel Corporation or any of the other persons listed on
Schedules I and II hereto.

Item 7.  Material to be filed as Exhibits.

         Exhibit 12.           Purchases of Common Stock from April
                               15, 1994 through October 14, 1994.





                                   Signature

         After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge
and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is
true, complete and correct.
