Our customers have had years of success using LORD’s impressive Maxlok line of adhesives.

  • reduces replacement material costs. The simple strength of the adhesive causes the load to be distributed over the entire bonded area, not just the concentrated stress points where bolts are used.
  • eliminates the need for additional sealant that is usually required with bolts and screws.
  • reduces the potential for corrosion, as Maxlok adhesives offer excellent corrosion resistance.

Businesses from all across the manufacturing spectrum love these products. Selections from the Maxlok line can work for small business operations or facilities with large assembly lines and for everything in between.

***NOTE*** Your individual selection range is dependent on the time of cure. T3 is a fast 6-8 minute handling time and in the summer it lessens. T6 has a 20-24 minute handling time, and T18 has a 48 to 72 minute handling time. In extreme temperatures most customers need to know the handling times to choose the proper product.
