Main features

  • Equal 1:1 Volume Mixing
  • 20-30 Minute Working Time
  • 70% Cured Elongation

Product Description

LORD 7542D Urethane Adhesive is the 7542-A resin and 7542-D curative configuration of an equal-mix, two-component urethane adhesive for bonding FRP, SMC, other plastics, and primed metals. The system mixes 1:1 by volume and provides a typical 20 to 30 minute working time at 24 deg C, followed by handling strength in approximately 3 hours. A recommended 254 to 1016 um bondline supports controlled assembly, and full strength develops in 24 hours or less at 24 deg C. The cured adhesive has a typical tensile strength of 18.70 MPa and 70% elongation.

Key features

  • Equal 1:1 Volume Mix: Uses the same volume of 7542-A resin and 7542-D curative.
  • 20-30 Minute Working Time: Provides a defined assembly window at 24 deg C.
  • 70% Cured Elongation: Combines urethane bonding with a flexible cured response.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Bonding FRP, SMC, and other plastics with limited surface preparation.
  • Bonding primed metal substrates.
