Structural Adhesives
Structural Adhesives
LORD Structural Adhesives replace traditional welding and fasteners as a more cost-effective option, without compromising a quality bond. LORD structural bonding adhesives are available in acrylic, epoxy and urethane chemistries – serving many diverse industries, from electronics to automotive to construction.
-
Acrylic Adhesive
LORD acrylic adhesives are proven to bond to bare metals, composites, and a large number of thermoplastic materials. The combination of excellent cure kinetics at room temperature and minimal need for surface preparation make acrylic glue the ideal choice for both automated and manual assembly processes.
-
Epoxy Structural Adhesive
LORD epoxy bonding structural adhesives adhere to a wide variety of materials, from bare metals to plastics to foam. Known for their high tensile strength, bond strength and excellent chemical resistance, they are the right choice when long-term exposure to high heat is required.
-
Urethane Adhesive
Urethanes are an excellent choice for bonding to a wide variety of thermoplastics and composites, plus difficult-to-bond substrates such as fabric, foam, and wood.
