     FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Dusseldorf, October 30, 1996 - In
response to several questions that have been received by Henkel
KGaA following its announcement Monday, Henkel reiterated that it
has proposed to enter into negotiations with Loctite Corporation
looking to acquire the remainder of Loctite that it does not
currently own and announced that it expects to commence
discussions with the company shortly.  While Henkel has not
decided whether to commence a tender offer for Loctite shares at
this time and would prefer not to do so while it is holding
discussions with the company, Henkel is entitled, under its 1994
agreement with Loctite and Loctite's rights plan, to acquire more
than 35% of the stock of Loctite if the acquisition is pursuant
to a tender offer that qualifies as a "Permitted Offer" under
Loctite's rights plan -- which would be the case if the tender
offer were for all outstanding shares, remains open for at least
sixty days and results in the bidder becoming the owner of a
majority of the outstanding shares.  If these conditions are met,
the "Permitted Offer" would not require Loctite Board approval. 
Upon the successful completion of such a "Permitted Offer",
Henkel is confident it would be able to cause a second step
merger to be consummated at the same price as that paid in the
tender offer.
