Description
Maxlok T18 adhesive is the longer-working adhesive side in the LORD Maxlok MX/T18 acrylic system for structural bonding of metals and many plastics. This straight-side pail supports bulk supply for assemblies that need more open time before the parts are fixtured.
Maxlok T18 adhesive Benefits
- 18 to 24 minute working time at 77 degrees F supports larger parts and longer assembly sequences.
- Mixed acrylic system is used to replace welding, brazing, riveting, and mechanical fastening methods.
- Non-sag paste helps the adhesive stay placed on vertical and overhead bond lines.
- Designed for a wide range of prepared or unprepared metals with minimal surface preparation.
- Mixed system resists moisture, salt spray, weathering, oils, greases, dilute acids, alkalis, and solvents.
Use this adhesive where a fast acrylic bond is needed, but the assembly needs more time than shorter Maxlok versions provide. The longer open time helps on large panels, truck and trailer bodies, HVAC components, equipment frames, and bonded reinforcements that need careful alignment before clamp pressure is applied.
Common Applications for Maxlok T18 adhesive
- Truck, trailer, and service-body panel bonding.
- Metal frames, brackets, stiffeners, and reinforcement parts.
- Plastic-to-metal assemblies where the Maxlok system fits the substrate.
- Production bonding where high peel and impact performance matter.
Compatible Materials and Processing Notes
- Steel, aluminum, galvanized metal, and other metals after loose contamination is removed.
- Many plastics after cleaning, with abrasion used when the material requires it.
- Maxlok MX accelerator at the published 1:4 ratio by volume.
- Static mixing equipment or cartridges that produce even gray color before dispense.
