Product Description
LORD® 852S/25GB Toughened Structural Acrylic Adhesive is a two-component structural acrylic adhesive system consisting of LORD® 852S Adhesive and LORD® Accelerator 25GB. It is designed to replace welding, brazing, riveting and other mechanical fastening methods while providing structural bonding of prepared and unprepared metals, polymer composite substrates such as FRP, and selected engineered plastics. The toughened formulation offers excellent impact and peel strength together with extended working time to accommodate a wider range of assembly processes.
Key Features
- Replaces welding, brazing, riveting and other mechanical fastening methods.
- Bonds prepared and unprepared metals, FRP and selected engineered plastics with minimal substrate preparation.
- Extended working time of 20–25 minutes to support larger or more complex assemblies.
- High impact and peel strength with 100% elongation for improved fatigue resistance.
- Service temperature from -40°F to +300°F (-40°C to +149°C).
- Resists dilute acids, alkalis, solvents, greases, oils, moisture, salt spray, weathering and indirect UV exposure.
Suitable For
- Structural metal bonding
- FRP and composite bonding
- Engineered plastic bonding
- Automotive assembly
- Industrial structural assembly
