Description
LORD 201/17 is a two-part structural acrylic adhesive used for bonding metals, ceramics, and plastics in industrial and fabrication applications. It bonds prepared or unprepared surfaces and is used where welding, brazing, riveting, or other mechanical fastening methods are being replaced. The self-leveling consistency flows into irregular shapes and hard-to-reach areas. The 404ml CX cartridge format pairs the LORD 201 base resin with LORD Accelerator 17 in the correct 10:1 volumetric ratio.

Performance in Production
- Self-leveling consistency flows into irregular shapes and tight joints without requiring uniform gap control.
- Bonds unprepared metal surfaces; normal mill oils and drawing compounds typically do not prevent adhesion.
- 5 to 8 minute working time allows part positioning before fixturing; handling strength is reached in 12 to 16 minutes.
- Resists dilute acids, alkalis, solvents, greases, oils, and moisture.
- Provides resistance to indirect UV exposure, salt spray, and weathering.
- Performs from -40°F to +300°F (-40°C to +149°C) after full cure.
- A MEK wipe on metals and an IPA wipe on plastics improves peak strength on critical joints.
- CX cartridge format automatically dispenses the correct 10:1 volumetric ratio; even color distribution indicates thorough mixing.
- Parts should be mated within working time and fixtured until handling strength is reached.
- If stored cold, allow product to return to room temperature before dispensing.
Common Applications
- Bonding steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals without welding
- Replacing rivets, bolts, and mechanical fasteners in fabricated assemblies
- Metal-to-plastic structural bonding
- Sign fabrication and frame assembly
- Transportation and vehicle component bonding
- General industrial fabrication where surface prep time is limited
Frequently Asked Questions
Does LORD 201/17 bond unprepared metal?
Yes. The system bonds prepared or unprepared metals. Normal mill oils and drawing compounds typically do not prevent adhesion, though a solvent wipe improves peak strength on critical joints.
What is the mix ratio for LORD 201/17?
10:1 by volume, adhesive to accelerator. The CX cartridge format automatically meters the correct ratio through a static mixer.
How long does LORD 201/17 take to cure?
Handling strength is reached in 12 to 16 minutes at 75°F. Full cure takes 24 hours at room temperature.
What is the difference between LORD 201/17 and LORD 201/19?
Accelerator 17 and Accelerator 19 produce similar bond performance. LORD 201/19 is UL 746C certified. Accelerator 19 is available in off-white or black; Accelerator 17 cures tan to green.
What temperature range does LORD 201/17 handle?
-40°F to +300°F (-40°C to +149°C) after full cure.
