Abstract
High Bond Strengh Achieved Even When Bonding Polyolefins. Plastics difficult to bond with adhesives, such as polyethylene (PE), polyoxymethylene (POM), polysiloxane elastomers (SI), or polybutylene terephtalate (PBT) can be bonded with rapidly polymerizing cyanoarcrylic esters and strong, dependable bonds are attained when suitable primers are used. These adhesive joints are considerably more water resistant than those made by bonding metals. Moreover, values of bond strength obtained after the heat aging of these joints are technically interesting.
