Structural Adhesives for Heavy-Duty Equipment Manufacturers
Our OEM customers replace and supplement welds with structural adhesives and mechanical fasteners to bond metal-to-metal or cross-bond various materials including composites and thermoplastics. Bonding clips and brackets improves cycle time. Since Roll Over Protection Structures (ROPS) cannot be cut or welded, bonding components to ROPS cabs during in-plant or dealer installed options maintains structural integrity. Using LORD adhesives allows you to:
- Reduce operating costs by reducing manufacturing time
- Increase uptime
- Bond and seal in one step
- Environmental and corosion resistance
- High strength, durability and UV protection
- Adaptable product line to fit various manufacturing processes
