Product LC-E258 Replaces Legacy Film Adhesives That are Being Discontinued Due to the Presence of PFAS (forever chemicals)
July 10, 2025: At Lincoln Composite Materials (LCM), we are launching Product LC-E258, a high-performance structural film adhesive engineered to replace existing film adhesives that are being discontinued due to the presence of PFAS chemicals (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
Product LC-E258 is the result of years of experience and customer collaborations, offering equal to or better reliability and performance than its predecessors without the environmental trade-offs. Developed and manufactured in the United States, the new material is already gaining attention from Tier-1 suppliers across aerospace, transportation, and other industrial sectors.
Our customers are under pressure to find PFAS-free alternatives that don’t compromise on performance or logistics, product LC-E258 solves that problem! Its compliant, consistent, and available with lead times measured in days, not months.
Key Benefits of Product LC-E258:
- PFAS-free formulation meets evolving regulatory and environmental requirements.
- Short lead times (2 weeks) enabled by domestic manufacturing.
- Tested performance for structural bonding, metal-to-metal adhesion, and high-demand applications.
- Direct engineering support for customers requiring additional customization.
LCM’s in-house engineering team works directly with customers to ensure seamless integration, fast turnaround on evaluations, and formulation support for unique bonding challenges.
As part of the product launch, LCM is providing technical data sheets, comprehensive testing data, and Q&A sessions with its engineering team.
