Harmonization Code : 3919.10.80 | Other self-adhesive plastic rolls not exceeding 20 cm wide.
Main features
- Rapid-Cure Urethane Bonding
- Composite, SMC, Plastic, and Coated-Metal Bonding
- Non-Sag Environmental Resistance
Product Description
LORD® 7800 Fast Cure Urethane Adhesive is an equal-mix, two-component urethane adhesive system designed for bonding composites, sheet molding compound (SMC), plastics and coated metals with minimal surface preparation. The system provides rapid strength development while offering multiple curative options that maintain consistent mechanical and adhesion properties across different working times, making it suitable for a wide range of manufacturing processes. It is also qualified under GMW 16506 Exterior Lighting Structural Adhesives for automotive and truck headlamp assembly.
Key Features
- Equal-mix, two-component urethane adhesive system.
- Rapid cure strength to support faster manufacturing and processing.
- Low exotherm cure for more consistent cure speed across bondline thicknesses.
- Non-sag formulation for vertical and overhead applications.
- Resists weathering, humidity and salt spray after cure.
- Free of heavy metals and does not contain ozone-depleting chemicals.
Suitable For
- Composite bonding
- Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) bonding
- Plastic bonding
- Powder-coated, primed and E-coat metal bonding
- Automotive and truck headlamp assemblies
