                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


June 12, 1996

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 net assets available for plan benefits of the Loctite
Corporation Employee Thrift Investment Plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the plan's management; 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 management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is additional information
required by ERISA. The Fund Information in the statements of financial condition
and the statements of income and changes in plan equity is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available
for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.
Schedules I and II and the Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                              EMPLOYEE THRIFT PLAN
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1  -  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

GENERAL

The Loctite Corporation Employee Thrift Investment 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 is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Participants may contribute up to 16% of their compensation to the Plan.
Effective May 1, 1994, participants may also transfer amounts representing
rollover distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined
contribution plans. Loctite Corporation ("The Company") contributes 50% of the
first 6% of participant compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan.
All Company contributions are in the form of shares of its common stock.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

Participant contributions are invested at the participant's election into one of
a combination of five funds, as described below:

            Company Stock Fund -- The Company Stock Fund is invested solely in
            Loctite Corporation common stock. Participant 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 investment
            contracts which produce a fixed rate of return. Participant
            contributions made in 1995 to the Fixed Income Fund were invested in
            a deposit administration contract with Metropolitan Life Insurance
            Company which yields an effective annual rate of 8.02% compounded
            annually, maturing on December 31, 1999. Participant contributions
            made in 1994 to the Fixed Income Fund were invested in a deposit
            administration contract with New York Life Insurance Company, which
            yields an effective annual rate of 5.60% compounded annually,
            maturing on December 31, 1998.

            Fidelity Advisor Equity Income Fund - Funds are invested in a
            registered investment company that invests primarily in
            income-producing common and preferred stocks and in lower quality,
            high-yielding debt securities.

            Fidelity Magellan Fund - Funds are invested in a registered
            investment company that invests primarily in common stocks of U.S.,
            multinational and foreign companies.

            Templeton Foreign Fund - Funds are invested in a registered
            investment company that invests in common stocks and bonds issued by
            companies and governments outside the U.S.

The Short Term Fund receives the monthly participant contributions and invests
them in short term instruments pending allocation of these contributions to the
elected funds. The Short Term Fund is invested in Fleet Bank, N.A. Short Term
Investment Fund (see Note 7).

Employees participating in the Plan were as follows:

</TABLE>

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 670 and 617 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

VESTING AND PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

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. Forfeitures of participants'
non-vested Company Stock Fund accounts are used by the Company to reduce its
contributions to the Plan. Forfeitures for the years ending December 31, 1995
and 1994 were $15,744 and $5,929, respectively.

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

Participants may make non-hardship withdrawals from after-tax contributions,
rollover contributions, vested matching contributions, and the related earnings
on these contributions. Participants may also make withdrawals from their
before-tax contributions and the pre-1989 earnings on those contributions if
they satisfy the IRS regulations for hardship withdrawals.

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.

LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS

Effective May 1, 1994, the Plan allows participants to borrow from their vested
account balances. Loans to participants must be at least $1,000 and are limited
to the lesser of 50% of their vested balance, reduced by any current outstanding
loan balance, or $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance in the
preceding 12 months. Additionally, the payroll deduction for loan repayments
cannot exceed 30% of the participant's gross pay. The interest rate for all
loans requested during a given month is set at one percentage point above the
prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of
the month and remains set for the duration of the loan. General loans may be
repaid over one to five years while primary residence loans may be repaid over
one to ten years. Loan repayments plus interest are paid through payroll
deductions.

PARTICIPANTS' TAX STATUS

Participants may 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. The maximum contribution for
members whose earnings exceeded $66,000 was 6% pre-tax and 7% for a combination
of pre-tax and after-tax contributions. Pre-tax contributions, the Company's
contributions, and 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.

NOTE 2  -  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The Plan's financial statements are prepared under the accrual method of
accounting.

INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value except for its investment
contracts with insurance companies included in the Fixed Income Fund which are
valued at contract value.

Investments in the Short Term Fund and loans to participants are valued at cost
which approximates fair value. Investments and receivables in the Company Stock
Fund are valued at quoted market prices. The shares of registered investment
companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset
values of shares held by the Plan at year-end.

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 $63,000 and $59,850 for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

During 1995 and 1994, contributions to the Company Stock Fund resulted in the
issuances (net of redemptions) of 10,020 and 6,326 shares, respectively, of
Loctite Corporation common stock. These shares were issued and redeemed by the
Company at the average monthly market price.

The Plan has entered into investment contracts with a number of insurance
companies. These contracts provide a fixed crediting interest rate, and a
financially responsible entity guarantees liquidity at contract value prior to
maturity for any and all participant-initiated benefit withdrawals, loans, or
transfers arising under the terms of the Plan, which allows access for all
participants on a quarterly basis. The weighted average interest rate under
these contracts was 7.0% and 7.4% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The contracts are included in the financial statements at contract value, which
approximates fair value. Contract value represents



                                     - 10 -

contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less Plan withdrawals and
administrative expenses.

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 6 - TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter
dated January 17, 1996, that the Plan (as amended) and related trust are
designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC). The Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan
continues to operate in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's
financial statements.

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are in Fleet Bank, N.A. Short-Term Investment Fund.
Fleet Bank, N.A. is the trustee of the Plan and, therefore, these transactions
qualify as party-in-interest.  Certain legal and accounting fees, including fees
paid to Fleet Bank, N.A., and certain administrative expenses are absorbed by
the Company.
