ParkerLord
Parker LORD is the engineered materials division of Parker Hannifin, formed after Parker's 2019 acquisition of the former LORD Corporation, a materials science company founded in 1924 and headquartered in Cary, North Carolina. The company develops adhesives, coatings, encapsulants, and thermal management materials used in mission critical bonding, sealing, and heat management applications. Parker LORD operates manufacturing and R&D facilities across multiple continents and serves a global, blue chip customer base. Its product lines include structural acrylic, epoxy, and urethane adhesives, rubber to metal bonding chemistries, and the COOLTHERM line of thermal management materials for electronics and electric vehicles. As part of Parker Hannifin, the brand combines decades of adhesive chemistry expertise with the scale of one of the world's largest motion and control technology companies.
Krayden is an authorized distributor of Parker LORD adhesives, encapsulants, and COOLTHERM thermal management materials, giving customers direct access to the full range of structural bonding and thermal solutions without going through the manufacturer. Krayden stocks and ships Parker LORD products in the package sizes and formats manufacturers actually use on the line, from cartridges and pails to drums, backed by technical support to help select the right chemistry for a given substrate or application.

Markets Served by ParkerLord
Adhesives and Sealants
Parker LORD's adhesives and sealants portfolio covers epoxy, silicone, structural acrylic, and specialty urethane chemistries built for structural bonding across metals, composites, plastics, and rubber. These products are formulated to replace traditional mechanical fastening methods like welding, riveting, and screws, while improving weight, appearance, and assembly speed. The range includes general purpose adhesives for everyday industrial bonding as well as specialty systems engineered for cryogenic, aerospace, and high impact applications. Primers, accelerators, and adhesion promoters round out the line to support proper cure and bond strength on difficult substrates.
Encapsulants
Encapsulants protect electronic assemblies from moisture, dust, vibration, and thermal stress by fully surrounding components in a cured resin or compound. Parker LORD's encapsulant range includes potting compounds for two component protective fill and gap fillers that conform to uneven surfaces to maintain thermal and mechanical contact. These materials are formulated for minimal shrinkage during cure and strong dielectric performance, making them well suited to sensitive electronic and power assemblies.
Thermal Management Materials
COOLTHERM thermal management materials are engineered to move heat away from batteries, power electronics, and other heat generating components. The line includes thermally conductive adhesives that bond while conducting heat, along with potting and encapsulation compounds that protect components while maintaining thermal pathways. COOLTHERM materials are a core part of Parker LORD's electric vehicle and electronics offering, supporting cell to pack and cell to module battery designs as well as general power electronics cooling.
Surface Preparation Materials
Surface preparation materials condition a substrate before an adhesive is applied, improving bond strength and reliability on difficult surfaces. Parker LORD's range includes primers, accelerators, and adhesion promoters that work in combination with its structural adhesives. These materials are especially important on low surface energy plastics, rubber, e-coated metals, and other substrates that don't bond well on their own.
Application Spotlight
EV Battery Packs
An electric vehicle (EV) battery pack is a fully integrated energy storage system that powers the electric motor in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). It converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions, enabling efficient, zero-emission vehicle operation. As the core of any EV, the battery pack directly influences driving range, performance, safety, and overall vehicle efficiency.
See how Parker LORD provides materials that combine thermal management, structural bonding, and protective functions within EV battery systems.
