LORD TECHNICAL DATA
Chemlok 5151 Adhesive
Description
LORD Chemlok 5151 adhesive is a one-coat adhesive
used to bond uncured fluoroelastomers to metal. It can
also be used to bond fluoroelastomers to phosphatized
metals.
Features and Benefits

Excellent Appearance provides good cosmetics;
non-pigmented.
Versatile bonds a wide variety of fluoroelastomers;
bonds bisphenol or peroxide curing elastomers; accommodates a wide variety of postcures.
Easy to Apply low viscosity allows for easy application.
Fluid Resistant provides excellent resistance to
immersion in ASTM Oils #1 and #3.
Application
Surface Preparation Thoroughly clean metal surfaces
prior to adhesive application. Remove protective oils,
cutting oils and greases by solvent degreasing or
alkaline cleaning. Remove rust, scale or oxide coatings
by suitable chemical or mechanical cleaning methods.
Chemical Cleaning
Chemical treatments are readily adapted to automated metal treatment and adhesive application
lines. Chemical treatments are also used on metal
parts that would be distorted by blast cleaning or
where tight tolerances must be maintained. Phosphatizing is a commonly used chemical treatment for
steel, while conversion coatings are commonly used
for aluminum.
Mechanical Cleaning
Grit blasting is the most widely used method of
mechanical cleaning. However machining, grinding
or wire brushing can be used. Use steel grit to blast
clean steel, cast iron and other ferrous metals. Use
aluminum oxide, sand or other nonferrous grit to blast
clean stainless steel, aluminum, brass, zinc and other
nonferrous metals.
For further detailed information on surface preparation of
specific substrates, refer to Chemlok Adhesives application guide. Handle clean metal surfaces with clean
gloves to avoid contamination with skin oils.
Mixing No agitation is required before or during use. If
dilution is needed, a dilution of 2-3 parts MEK to 1 part
adhesive will provide excellent primary adhesion and
environmental resistance.

LORD TECHNICAL DATA

Applying Apply Chemlok 5151 adhesive by brush, dip
or spray methods. Dip application is preferred to maintain precise control over adhesive thickness.
Drying/Curing Allow adhesive to air-dry, maintaining
forced air drying temperatures below 93C (200F).
Chemlok 5151 adhesive cures at 165-188C (330-370F).
Post cures of 12-24 hours at 204-232C (400-450F)
can be used. For exceptionally thick parts, use a step
postcure beginning at 149C (300F), and increase
the temperature in 10C (50F) increments at two hour
intervals until a temperature of 204-232C (400-450F) is
achieved.
Shelf Life/Storage
Shelf life is six months from date of shipment when stored
at 21-27C (70-80F) in original, unopened container. Do
not store or use near heat, sparks or open flame.
