Parker Lord Structural Adhesives for Specialty Trucks and Trailers

Many truck and trailer manufacturers are making the switch to adhesives instead of traditional welding and fastening. Lowering fuel cost, wind drag, and weight has become an important component in manufacturing specialty vehicles. Results have shown that structural adhesive bonds are often stronger and more reliable. Parker Lord offers a variety of acrylic, epoxy, and urethane structural adhesives. With help from an industry expert, Ellsworth Adhesives can assist you with product selection and implementing a new production process.
