LORD 201 acrylic adhesive - User-Controled Set Time, Low Viscosity, Flowable, Brush-On Versatile And Temperature Resistant (225mL & 40LB)

Product Name

LORD 201 acrylic adhesive - User-Controled Set Time, Low Viscosity, Flowable, Brush-On Versatile And Temperature Resistant (225mL & 40LB)

Brief Description

LORD 201 acrylic adhesive is a two-component structural acrylic adhesive system that, when cured with a LORD Accelerator (such as 17 or 19), creates a high-strength bond for a wide variety of prepared or unprepared metals, plastics, and ceramics. This adhesive system is engineered to replace traditional fastening methods like welding, brazing, and riveting, offering superior durability, ease of use, and chemical resistance.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Structural bonding of lightweight metals and composite panels in aerospace and automotive industries.- Assembly of machinery, enclosures, and fabricated components in industrial manufacturing.- Bonding metals, plastics, and reinforced composites in structural applications for construction and marine sectors.- Secure attachment of plastic housings and metal casings in electronics and appliances.- Sign assembly.- General industrial bonding applications.- Replacing traditional fastening methods such as welding, brazing, and riveting.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair (specifically Automotive manufacturing)- Construction/ Building Services- General Manufacturing- Marine- Metal Fabrication- LED/Electronics (specifically Electronics & Appliances)- Sign & Display (specifically Sign Assembly)

Special and Unique Features

- User-controlled set time, allowing flexibility in application based on the chosen accelerator.- Low viscosity and flowable, enabling it to self-level and penetrate hard-to-reach areas for excellent bonding of irregular shapes.- Brush-on application method is supported.- Bonds unprepared metals, requiring little to no substrate preparation, which streamlines production.- Versatile, bonding a wide variety of substrates such as metals, ceramics, and plastics.- Insensitive to minor deviations from the correct mix ratio.- Replaces traditional mechanical fastening methods like welding, brazing, and riveting.- UL Certified under UL 746C when mixed with LORD Accelerator 19.- Environmentally resistant, offering excellent resistance to UV exposure, solvents, oils, weathering, dilute acids, alkalis, moisture, and salt spray.
