Honeymoon Adhesives – A Few of Your Top Choices

LORD no-mix series adhesive components (you may know of them as “honeymoon” adhesives), are applied on the opposite mating surfaces of the substrates to be bonded. Curing does not start until the parts are brought together. This assembly technique is especially good for large surfaces with tight tolerances, such as mounting a sign face. These adhesives are to be used at bondline thicknesses 20 mils or less.

LORD 201

201 acrylic adhesive (flowable) when cured with LORD Accelerator 4 (details below), 17 or 19 creates an adhesive system that will bond a wide variety of prepared or unprepared metals and plastics. LORD 201 acrylic adhesive in combination with the recommended accelerator replaces welding, brazing, riveting and other mechanical fastening methods.

The shelf life for this product is six months when stored at temperatures under 80°F (27°C) in original, unopened container.

Some of the Features and Benefits

  • Versatile – bonds a wide variety of substrates such as metals, ceramics and plastics; insensitive to minor deviations from correct mix ratio.
  • Bonds Unprepared Metals – requires little or no substrate preparation.
  • Self-Leveling – flows into hard-to-reach places and is excellent for bonding irregular shapes.
  • Environmentally Resistant – resists dilute acids, alkalis, solvents, greases, oils and moisture; provides excellent resistance to indirect UV exposure, salt spray and weathering.
  • Temperature Resistant – performs at temperatures from -40°F to +300°F (-40°C to +149°C).
  • UL Rated – when mixed with LORD Accelerator 19, adhesive system is UL 746C certified.
  • Note – Mix cartridges are great for signage, and the 1/10 gallon tube is perfect for boat enclosures.

LORD Maxlok MX/T6

LORD Maxlok MX/T6 acrylic adhesiveLORD Maxlok MX/T6LORD Maxlok™ MX/T6 acrylic adhesive when cured with LORD Accelerator 4 creates an adhesive system that will bond a wide variety of prepared or unprepared metals and plastics. LORD Maxlok MX/T6 acrylic adhesive in combination with the recommended accelerator replaces welding, brazing, riveting and other mechanical fastening methods.

One recommended accelerator is Accelerator 4 (see below), a no-mix accelerator applied to the substrate before the acrylic adhesive.

Shelf life is six months when stored at temperatures under 80°F (27°C) in original, unopened container.

Some of the Features and Benefits

  • Bonds Unprepared Metals – requires little or no substrate preparation.
  • Versatile – bonds a wide variety of substrates such as metals, ceramics and plastics.
  • Non-Sag – remains in position when applied on vertical or overhead surfaces, allowing for greater process flexibility.
  • Temperature Resistant – performs at temperatures from -40 to +300°F (-40 to +149°C).
  • Environmentally Resistant – resists dilute acids, alkalis, solvents, greases, oils and moisture; provides excellent resistance to indirect UV exposure, salt spray and weathering.

LORD Accelerator 4

LORD Accelerator 4LORD® Accelerator 4 is a no-mix curative designed for use with LORD acrylic adhesives. LORD Accelerator 4 can be used with LORD 200 series, 500 series, and MaxlokTM T6 acrylic adhesives.

Shelf life is six months when stored at 40-70°F (4-21°C) in original, unopened container.

Some of the Features and Benefits

  • Convenient – provides room temperature cure with all LORD acrylic adhesives.
  • Extended Work Time – provides extended assembly time as adhesive does not begin cure until it comes in contact with surface coated with dry accelerator.
  • Easy to Apply – applies easily by brush, wipe, spray or dip methods onto one or both bonding surfaces.
  • Fast Cure – dries in approximately one minute to an off-white crystalline film.
  • Environmentally Resistant – resists common environmental conditions when used with LORD acrylic adhesives.
