LORD 5206/55GB (4:1) Acrylic Adhesive

Description

LORD® 5206 acrylic adhesive in combination with LORD Accelerator 55GB replaces 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 Accelerator 55GB allows precise control of the adhesive bondline thickness due to its content of glass beads, 0.01″ (0.025 cm) diameter. For further detailed information, refer to the LORD Accelerator 55GB data sheet.

Features and Benefits:

• Versatile – bonds a wide range of unprepared metals with minimal substrate preparation.
• Temperature Resistant – performs at temperatures from -40°F to +300°F (-40°C to +149°C).
• Environmentally Resistant – resists dilute acids, alkalis, solvents, greases, oils, moisture, salt spray and weathering; provides excellent resistance to indirect UV exposure.
• Non-Sag – remains in position when applied on vertical or overhead surfaces, allowing for greater process flexibility.

Application:

• Surface Preparation – Remove grease, loose contamination, or poorly adhering oxides from metal surfaces. Normal amounts of mill oils and drawing compounds usually do not present a problem in adhesion. Most plastics require a simple cleaning before bonding. Some may require abrading for optimum performance.
• Mixing – Mix LORD 5206 adhesive with the proper amount of LORD Accelerator 55GB. Handheld cartridges will automatically dispense the correct volumetric ratio of each component. Even color distribution visually indicates
  a thorough mix. Once mixed, the adhesive cures rapidly.
• Applying – Apply adhesive using handheld cartridges or automatic meter/mix/dispense equipment.
  • Handheld Cartridges
    1. Load the cartridge into the applicator gun and remove the end caps.
    2. Level the plungers by expelling a small amount of material to ensure both sides are level.
    3. Attach mixing tip and expel a mixer’s length of adhesive.
    4. Apply adhesive to substrate and mate the parts within the working time of the adhesive. Clamp in position until adhesive reaches handling strength. Do not re-expose adhesive to air once parts are mated. Mated parts should be repositioned by sliding to achieve proper alignment.
  • Meter/Mix/Dispense Equipment
    Contact your Chemical Concepts if assistance is needed using this equipment.
• Curing – Cure begins immediately once adhesive and accelerator are mixed. Complete cure requires 24 hours at room temperature. Mating surfaces must be held in contact during the entire curing process. Cure rate can be
  accelerated by applying modest heat [<150°F (<66°C)].
