Multi-Material Adhesive

Development Products LS/LS-XU

Zeon's Cyclo-Olefin Polymer multi-material adhesive is a sheet based, amorphous thermoplastic with a unique polymer microstructure and excellent heat, moisture and impact resistance. The combination of high strength and ductility make it a great choice for applications where joining dissimilar materials is required.

Handling & Storage

  • Sheet form (samples available)
  • Transparent, amorphous, thermoplastic
  • Tg = 123°C
  • Stored at room remperature & humidity

Strength & Flexibility

Stress-strain curve for LS multi-material adhesive

  • High impact strength (IZOD Impact, no break)
  • High energy absorption with excellent combination of strength & ductility

Shear bond strength with multiple difficult-to-bond substrates

  • No primer required
  • Excellent bonding strength with PP, PP-GF, PA6-GF & PBT-GF materials
