     This Amendment No. 10 (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 $1,150,000 in
connection with its acquisitions, since July 31, 1995 (the date of
Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D), of 24,500 shares of Common Stock. 
The sources of such funds were working capital of HCI, as well as loans
from Henkel Corporation from its own working capital.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     In connection with Loctite's announced stock repurchase program,
Henkel KGaA sent a letter to Loctite agreeing to refrain from
purchasing additional shares of Common Stock as set forth in the
letter.  A copy of the letter, dated August 28, 1995, is filed as
Exhibit 14 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a) - (b)  At the date hereof, HCI beneficially owns 11,208,224
shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 31.7% of the
35,369,675 shares of Common Stock outstanding on June 30, 1995, as
reported in Loctite's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June,
1995.  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, the Rights Agreement
and the letter referred to in Item 4, HCI has a right of first refusal
with respect to shares of Common Stock representing approximately 10%
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 July 31, 1995 (the date of Amendment No. 9 to the
Schedule 13D) is set forth in Exhibit 15 hereto.  Except as set forth
herein and in Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D, 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 to the Schedule 13D.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships 
          with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     A copy of the letter, dated August 28, 1995, from Henkel KGaA to
Loctite setting forth the agreement of Henkel to refrain from
purchasing additional shares of Common Stock as set forth in the letter
is filed as Exhibit 14 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.  Material to be filed as Exhibits.

         Exhibit 14.     Letter, dated August 28, 1995, from 
                         Henkel KGaA to Loctite.

         Exhibit 15.     Purchases of Common Stock from 
                         July 31, 1995 through August 28, 1995.



                               Signature

belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is

Loctite Stock Repurchase

Dear Sirs and Madams:

We are apprised of the proposed resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Loctite Corporation authorizing the
repurchase of up to 3.350,000 shares of Loctite's common
stock over the next two years.

In order to facilitate Loctite's repurchase and subject to
the matters described in the next paragraph, we agree to
refrain from purchasing or having purchased for us any
Loctite shares during the two-year duration of the Loctite
repurchase program outlined in the proposed resolution.

As discussed our agreement is in consideration of such
repurchases and is conditioned upon Loctite informing us
monthly about the progress of and continuing to pursue the
repurchase program.  If the program is discontinued within
the next two years or Loctite does not effect any purchase
during any period of sixty days we would feel free to give
you notice that we might resume our own purchase to the
extent permitted by our existing agreements.

We are confident that this meets with your approval,

best regards,
Henkel KGaA



Dr. Winkhaus                  Dr. Gruter
