How to bond PET – Successful PET bonding
What is PET? (Polyethylene Terephthalate) – PET is a thermoplastic material. It can be difficult to bond PET with many adhesives. As a result, Permabond developed specialty adhesives to allow bonding PET without pre-treating. PET is easy to recyclable, so it is commonly used as disposable packaging. The recycling symbol is 1 inside the […]
Successfully Bonding Acrylic with Industrial Adhesives
What is Acrylic? (PMMA) – polymethyl methacrylate – Several types of industrial adhesive bond acrylic. Because its surface is receptive to adhesive bonding, bond strength typically exceeds the substrate strength (when the joint is pulled apart, the substrate breaks before the adhesive joint). Most applications involve clear acrylic, so a crystal clear, non-yellowing adhesive is […]
How to Bond Acetal? Achieve success bonding Acetal
What is Acetal (POM – Polyoxymethylene)? Acetal is a popular thermoplastic. Therefore, its use spans a number of industries. Generally, acetal has a high surface slip lubricity, making it difficult to bond acetal. This plastic is fairly low cost and has good structural properties. Consequently, it is often used instead of metal. POM is very […]
How to bond ABS? Achieve success bonding ABS
What is ABS? ABS stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, a common thermoplastic that is quite easy to bond. Which ABS adhesive is best? Various types of plastic adhesives (plastic glues) bond ABS. A few of the most common include cyanoacrylates, 2-part epoxies, structural acrylics, and UV curable adhesives. ABS Adhesive Types All grades of cyanoacrylates, […]
