Product Name
LORD 606/6GB (3023348) 10:1 Ratio Two Component Acrylic Adhesive Medium Set 6-10 min
Brief Description
LORD 606/6GB is a fast-setting, two-component acrylic adhesive system engineered for structural bonding of difficult-to-bond composites, a wide range of metals, and various plastics. It is designed to create exceptionally strong bonds with excellent surface cure and requires minimal surface preparation. The 6GB accelerator variant specifically includes glass beads, which allow for precise control of the adhesive bondline thickness.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding composites, including DCPD (dicyclopentadiene) resin and modified DCPD resin-based FRP (fiber reinforced plastic).- Cross-bonding composites to many metals and plastics.- Metalworking applications such as HVAC, appliance assembly, sporting goods, and specialty vehicles.- Sign manufacturing, including panel to frame bonding, trim attachment, letter bonding, and frame assembly.- Bonding plastics, composites, painted, and powder-coated metals.- Fast assembly of smaller parts.- Automotive manufacturing for exterior vehicle components like door panels and framework.- Window mount bonding and sealing in the construction industry.- General assembly or reinforcement of components in electronic products such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and laptop housings.- Assembling frame and surfaces together in furniture.- Bonding side panels and flooring materials in trucks and rail cars.- Mechanical engineering, apparatus, appliance, and housing construction.- Medical technology applications.- Assembly of doors and gates.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Cladding- Commercial Door- Construction/ Building Services- Fabrication- Furniture- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics- Medical Device/ Prosthetics- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Sign & Display- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- Fast-setting adhesive system with a medium set time of 6-10 minutes.- Utilizes unique patented technology to create exceptionally strong bonds with excellent surface cure.- Requires minimal surface preparation for bonding.- Environmentally resistant, capable of resisting dilute acids, alkalis, solvents, water immersion, moisture, and weathering.- Non-sag properties ensure it remains in position when applied on vertical or overhead surfaces, offering greater process flexibility.- LORD Accelerator 6GB contains 0.01” (0.025 cm) diameter glass beads for precise control of the adhesive bondline thickness.- Provides room temperature cure.- Can replace traditional fastening methods such as screws, rivets, and welding.

Comparison Note
LORD 606/6GB is a two-component acrylic structural adhesive distinguished by its fast-setting characteristics and its ability to form strong bonds on difficult-to-bond composites and various metals with minimal surface preparation. While epoxy structural adhesives often provide the highest overall bond strength and durability, acrylic adhesives like LORD 606/6GB are frequently preferred in manufacturing environments due to their faster cure times and superior adhesion to a broader range of plastics and powder-coated surfaces. A notable feature of the 6GB accelerator is the inclusion of glass beads, which ensures precise control over the bondline thickness, a benefit not universally found in all acrylic adhesive systems.
