LORD Maxlok MX-T6 is a two component grey paste acrylic adhesive that is designed to replace brazing, welding, riveting, and other fastening systems. The adhesive is well suited for applications that endure wide temperature ranges, and that are subjected to high impact or high peel loads. MX- T6 is non-sag, allows precise control of bondline thickness, and is UL 746C certified. It has a working time of 6-9 minutes at 77° F, Flash point at 59° F, and will it will be fully cured in 24 hours. This acrylic adhesive is capable of bonding a variety of unprepared metals and it will resist solvents, greases, oils, moisture, salt spray, dilute acids and weathering. It also has excellent resistance to indirect Ultraviolet exposure.
Advantages and Features:
Versatile - requires little substrate preparation and binds a wide variety of unprepared metals.
Temperature Resistant: Operates between -40 and +300°F (–149 to +149°C).
Environmentally Resistant - withstands diluted acids, alkalis, solvents, greases, oils, dampness, salt spray, and weathering; offers exceptional resistance to indirect UV exposure.
UL Rated - Maxlok MX/T6 adhesive system is UL 746C approved and is UL rated.
Precise Bondline - Since it contains glass beads with a diameter of 0.01 inches (0.025 cm), Precise Bondline enables exact control of the adhesive bondline thickness.
Non-Sag - maintains position when applied to overhead or vertical surfaces, enhancing process flexibility
