- Non-Sag Structural Placement
Product Description
LORD Maxlok T3S Acrylic Adhesive is a fast-working two-component structural acrylic adhesive used with LORD Maxlok MX accelerator for bonding supported metals and composites. Its off-white to tan paste formulation is part of the Maxlok S-series offered as an alternative to welding, brazing, riveting and other mechanical fastening methods in assemblies exposed to high impact or peel loads. T3S provides 3 to 5 minutes of working time and reaches handling strength in 6 to 8 minutes at 77 deg F (25 deg C). The non-sag system supports cartridge or automatic dispensing and has a service-temperature range of -40 deg F to 300 deg F (-40 deg C to 149 deg C).
Key features
- Fast T3S work time: Provides 3 to 5 minutes for rapid assembly at 77 deg F (25 deg C).
- Rapid handling strength: Reaches 50 psi handling strength in 6 to 8 minutes at 77 deg F (25 deg C).
- Non-sag structural placement: Supports cartridge or automatic application on vertical and overhead bond areas.
Applications
Applications include structural bonding of supported metals and composites as an alternative to selected mechanical fastening methods.
