Chem-Set Ultralok Put to the Test
When it comes to shear strength, Chem-Set’s Ultralok line is second to none. But don’t take our word for it – let us show you! In the video below, we put Chem-Set Ultralok to the test to prove its superior shear strength and bonding capabilities.
In the video, two pieces of steel bonded together with Chem-Set Ultralok are placed in a machine designed to test shear strength and pull the pieces of metal apart. Once activated, the machine gradually applies more and more force in attempting to pry the steel apart until the adhesive fails.
As you can see, the superior holding capabilities of Chem-Set Ultralok put the machine through its paces, requiring nearly 2,700 pounds of force to cause the adhesive to fail.
The secret to Ultralok’s superior bonding strength lies in the integrated glass beads, which act as spacers to maintain consistent bondline thickness when the adhesive is applied. Consistent bondline thickness results in stronger joints and prevents failure due to over-clamping.
Ultralok is one of the most versatile high-strength adhesives that we stock, with the ability to bond to a wide range of plastics, unprepared metals, and composite materials. The Ultralok series adhesives are available in several versions, with faster or slower curing speeds available depending on your needs and the ambient temperature of the project site.
With high impact resistance, low odor, a tack-free surface, and a variety of available colors, Chem-Set Ultralok is the go-to high-strength structural adhesive for a huge number of our clients.
