Bonding Plastic Information:
|
Cyanoacrylates:
|
Very fast cure time. Single part adhesive that cures when confined between two substrates. |
Light-cure Acrylic & Light-cure Cyanoacrylate:
|
Single part adhesives that cure when exposed to a given wavelength of light.
|
Hot-melt:
|
Thermoplastic resin "sticks" heated to melt and then when cooled form bond. |
| Epoxy & Polyurethane: |
Single or dual part adhesives. Strong, slow curing. Epoxy reaction heat can cause damage to some plastics. |
| Two-part Acrylics: |
Flexible when cured. Good for high fatigue situations. |
| Solvents: |
Solvent attacks and liquifies substrate and then dissipates to leave joint of parent material. |
