Structural Adhesives Solutions
Structural Adhesives Solutions
At LORD we provide options, offering three major chemistries that allow us to match the specific chemistry to the appropriate application, substrate or performance requirements. With more than 40 years experience in developing and manufacturing structural adhesives, our extensive line of acrylic, epoxy and urethane adhesives improve appearance, strength and durability, while offering design flexibility and total cost savings.
Chemistries
Acrylic
Acrylic–based adhesives are primarily used to bond metals. They are very aggressive, require minimum surface preparation and also work well on plastics, but should be tested for compatibility.
Urethane
Urethane-based adhesives are a good choice for bonding plastics, composites, wood and foam. They do not adhere well to metal without a primer or other coating, so they are generally used for metal bonding applications where the metal is primed, painted, powder-coated or e-coated.
Epoxy
Epoxy-based adhesives can be used on metals, plastics, composites, concrete, wood and foam. They are generally very strong and chemically resistant.
