For decades, Chemlok® adhesives have helped engineers create durable rubber-to-metal bonds that improve performance, reduce vibration, and enhance reliability across countless applications. Discover the legacy of inventor Don Alstadt, explore the industries impacted by Chemlok technology, and access Parker Lord’s Chemlok® Adhesives Selector Guide to help identify bonding solutions for your next project.
Parker has launched CHEMLOK® NX-100, a next-generation covercoat adhesive that bonds elastomers to substrates during vulcanization while supporting greater environmental sustainability and improved regulatory compliance. This new topcoat adhesive bonds NR, SBR, CR, and EPDM polymers to metals and other rigid substrates without the use of chlorinated solvents that raise EHS concerns.
Hallstar’s polarity chart offers a visual guide for comparing plasticizers by polarity and molecular weight. This technical resource also outlines suggested applications, performance features, and compatible polymer systems—making it a valuable tool for formulators seeking optimal plasticizer solutions.
