Overview
Solvent-based adhesives are widely used for bonding popular plastics such as:
- Acrylic
- Polycarbonate
- Polystyrene
- PETG
- ABS
- PVC
- Butyrate and polyurethane
Solvent-based adhesives generally offer low viscosity and are clear. As a result, they are used widely in sign and point-of-purchase (POP) applications. Due to their low viscosity, they can often be applied at the edge and will “wick” into the joint by capillary action.
Weld-On 3, 4 and 16 are the most popular grades and are used mostly with acrylic and polycarbonate. Weld-On 4007 and 4052 are low VOC (volatile organic compound) PVC adhesives.
