Lord Corp.’s Signlok structural adhesive and 810/20 LRT (Low Read-Through) adhesive are bonding solutions tailored specifically for sign industry professionals. Both adhesives are available through Chemical Concepts Inc.
Signlok 403 and 406 from Lord, each now being distributed by Chemical Concepts, is an acrylic adhesive formula that can proficiently replace the hassle of riveting, brazing, and welding in the presentation and function of signs. The Signlok series can withstand temperatures from -40 F to 300 F and endure acids, alkalis, moisture and other challenges posed by the environment. The 403 and 406 varieties of Lord’s Signlok are versatile, having the ability to bond a variety of unprepared metals, and have non-sag properties allowing for greater flexibility.
Lord’s 810/20 Low Read-Through is an improvement upon the often maligned byproduct of high read-through alternatives that leave signs looking aesthetically subject. Lord’s 810/20 LRT on the other hand offers no bond-line read-through, minimal shrinkage, very little substrate preparation and 90 percent to full cure in just one hour. The non-sagging, two-component adhesive also has excellent peel strength and is exceptionally flexible (190 percent elongation). Chemical Concepts offers Lord’s 810/20 LRT adhesive in 400 mL, 200 mL, 50 mL, and 5 gallon pails and drums.
