LORD 363

Main features

  • 3 to 5-Minute Working Window
  • Self-Leveling Flowable Placement
  • Solvent-Free Bonding Formulation

Product Description

LORD® 363-A/363-B Epoxy Adhesive is a fast-setting, two-component epoxy adhesive designed to bond scuffed sheet molding compounds (SMC), wood, fiberglass reinforced plastics (FRP) and other supported plastics. Its self-leveling consistency flows into hard-to-reach areas and supports assemblies with tight tolerances. The solvent-free system can be cured at room temperature or with heat for faster processing.

Key Features

  • Fast room-temperature cure with a 3–5 minute working time and handling strength in 15–30 minutes.
  • Self-leveling consistency for flowing into hard-to-reach areas and bonding close-fitting parts.
  • Solvent-free formulation that is nonflammable and virtually odorless.
  • Room-temperature or heat curing to support different production requirements.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Scuffed sheet molding compound bonding
  • Fiberglass reinforced plastic bonding
  • Wood and supported plastic assemblies
  • Close-fitting parts and hard-to-reach bond areas

Physical Properties
Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application
Resin: 7000 -16,000 | Hardener: 8000 - 20,000 mPa.s
Thermal Properties
Flash Point
The flashpoint of a solvent is the lowest possible temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable vapor. Flashpoint is often confused with “autoignition temperature”, which is the temperature at which a solvent ignites without an ignition source.
Resin: >93 | Hardener: >93 °C
