Polypropylene plastic is a favourite substrate among goods manufacturers. It is low-cost, tough with some degree of flexibility and has excellent chemical resistance.\u00a0 Certain blends can even rival ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) in terms of performance.\u00a0 High-density and low-density polypropylene surfaces can be quite difficult to bond or print onto. This is due to low surface energy or poor \u201cwettability\u201d \u2013 typically only 29mN\/m. To achieve \u201cwetting\u201d or adhesion, with most adhesives surface energy above 36mN\/m is required).<\/p>\n

Many goods manufacturers use welding techniques (e.g. friction welding, ultrasonic welding, lasers etc). As well as being expensive, welding is normally not suitable when bonding polypropylene to other substrate materials.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t do Surface Preparation?<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t worry, there are industrial adhesive products available for bonding polypropylene without treated surfaces. Permabond structural acrylic polyolefin bonding adhesives<\/a> have excellent adhesion to untreated polyolefins as well as other substrate materials.<\/p>\n

Surface Preparation for Bonding Polypropylene<\/h2>\n

Due to the low surface energy of polypropylene, with any other adhesive, we recommend surface treatment before bonding. There are several ways of pre-treating surfaces for bonding polypropylene:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Flame Treatment: This uses specialized equipment. It is important to have the set up optimised so parts are the correct distance from the flame and pass through at the correct speed; over-treating the surface will result in similar bonding results to untreated surfaces i.e. the adhesive will not stick!\u00a0 Be careful if manually attempting this because results will be inconsistent. Flame treatment is more suited to flat, uniform surfaces rather than complex shapes. Professional equipment can be quite bulky.<\/li>\n
  2. Corona or Plasma Treatment: Good for components with intricate shapes. It involves an electronic discharge over the surface of the parts, which helps activate surface electrons and makes them more receptive to bonding.\u00a0 Equipment can be quite costly.<\/li>\n
  3. Primer: Special chemical primers can be used to activate the surface for bonding.\u00a0 Permabond offers Permabond POP Polyolefin Primer<\/a> \u2013 this can only be used in conjunction with a cyanoacrylate adhesive<\/a>. This offers a simple solution for customers looking for an instant bonding solution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After you increase the surface energy with treatment, it is ready for bonding. Remember: for consistent results, bond surfaces as soon as possible after pre-treatment.<\/p>\n
