LORD Maxlok MX/T3 (4:1) Acrylic Adhesive
This is a hazardous material, shipping restrictions and surcharges may apply. 
Lord Maxlok MX/T3, MX/T6 and MX/T18 acrylic adhesives replace welding, brazing, riveting and other mechanical fastening methods especially over a wide range of temperature environments subject to high impact or high peel loads. LORD Maxlok acrylic adhesives are available in a range of working times to accommodate a wide variety of process requirements.
Features and Benefits:
- Versatile – bonds a wide range of unprepared metals with minimal substrate preparation.
- Temperature Resistant – performs at temperatures from -40 to +300°F (-40 to +149°C).
- Environmentally Resistant – resists dilute acids, alkalis, solvents, greases, oils, moisture, salt spray and weathering; provides excellent resistance to indirect UV exposure.
- UL Rated – Maxlok MX/T6 adhesive system is UL 746C certified.
- Precise Bondline – allows precise control of adhesive bondline thickness due to its content of glass beads, 0.01" (0.025 cm) diameter.
- Non-Sag – remains in position when applied on vertical or overhead surfaces, allowing for greater process flexibility
