LORD Corporation Announces Growing List of UL Approved Adhesives

Cary, N.C. - LORD Corporation � a pioneer in specialty structural adhesives, polyurethane coatings as well as electronic, vibration and noise control solutions � has announced a variety of adhesives for sign bonding applications approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

According to Yoshihiro Yamaguchi, Marketing Manager for LORD Industrial Assembly and Components, structural adhesives have proven to be a growing alternative to welding and traditional mechanical fasteners for the sign industry. However, a third-party testing organization�s listing mark is required on most sign assemblies in order to comply with the National Electric Code guidelines and local ordinances. As such, LORD Corporation obtained recognition of several LORD adhesives from UL. The adhesives were tested in accordance with the requirements from the following standards.

U.S. Coverage - UL 48, "Electric Signs" and UL746C, �Polymeric Materials for use in Electrical Equipment Evaluations�

Canadian Coverage - CAN/CSA - C22.2 No. 207-M89, "Portable and Stationary Electric Signs and Displays"
