The Bomag 00978018 Loctite is a genuine OEM adhesive compound designed for BC-series refuse and landfill compactors, including the BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 972 RB-3, BC 972 RB-4, BC 1172 RB, BC 1172 RB-2, BC 1172 RB-3, and BC 1172 RB-4. Sourced directly from Bomag, this Loctite compound meets the exact specification called out in the factory service documentation for these machines. Using the correct OEM-specified adhesive ensures fastener and component assemblies are secured to the standard Bomag engineers require for heavy-duty compaction work.
Key Features
- OEM-Specified Bonding Strength — this is the exact Loctite formulation called out by Bomag for fastener retention and component assembly on BC-series refuse and landfill compactors, not a generic substitute
- Direct-Fit OEM Part — supplied under genuine Bomag part number 00978018, ensuring the correct compound grade is used every time without guesswork
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — confirmed fit for BC 972 RB, BC 972 RB-2, BC 972 RB-3, BC 972 RB-4, BC 1172 RB, BC 1172 RB-2, BC 1172 RB-3, and BC 1172 RB-4 refuse and landfill compactors
- Assembly Integrity Under Extreme Load — refuse and landfill compactors operate under severe vibration and impact; using the correct thread-locking or bonding compound prevents loosening and component failure in service
- Correct Chemical Compatibility — the OEM-designated formulation is matched to the materials and clearances of Bomag compactor assemblies, protecting against corrosion and galvanic interaction at fastener interfaces
Loctite compounds used in heavy equipment service function as thread-locking or bonding agents that prevent fasteners and mated components from loosening due to vibration, shock loads, or thermal cycling. On refuse and landfill compactors like the BC 972 RB and BC 1172 RB families, where the machine endures continuous high-impact operation across uneven landfill surfaces, maintaining correct fastener retention is critical to structural integrity and safe operation. Using the wrong grade or formulation can result in under-curing, inadequate holding strength, or damage to mating surfaces during disassembly — making the OEM-specified compound the right choice for both initial assembly and service work.
