Sign Bonding Adhesives

LORD Structural Adhesives are full performance sign adhesives that offer advantages over welding and mechanical fastening. Our sign adhesives bond dissimilar materials, provide improved appearance, insulate against galvanic corrosion and offer excellent environmental resistance. Adhesive bonding provides cost savings due to reduced labor costs and sign assembly time.

Signlok sign adhesives provide right-sized packaging to fit most jobs and eliminate waste, are UL approved, and have long shelf life options that reduces costs.
