RESION AcryWeld Acrylic Adhesive

RESION AcryWeld is a transparent, extremely low-viscosity solvent-based adhesive designed for bonding acrylic (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), and various other rigid plastics. Its low viscosity makes it particularly suitable for capillary bonding. For capillary bonding, the adhesive is applied along the bond line using a fine needle or dispensing applicator, allowing it to flow between the components through capillary action.

This product is a single-component adhesive and is therefore ready to use. No mixing is required. AcryWeld is a replacement for Weld-On 4SC and Vivtek 04.

Benefits of RESION AcryWeld

• Extremely low viscosity for capillary bonding.
• Transparent and colourless.
• Ready to use.
• Short working time of 1 to 2 minutes.
• Suitable for PMMA, PC, PS, and various other rigid plastics.
• Penetrates approximately 6 mm into the joint.
• Available in a 500 ml container.

Suitable for various plastics

RESION AcryWeld can be used for bonding:

• Acrylic (PMMA)
• Polycarbonate (PC)
• ABS
• Polystyrene (PS)
• PVC
• CAB
• PETG

The final bond strength may vary depending on the type of plastic and is also influenced by the surface condition and joint design. For unfamiliar materials or critical applications, always perform a test bond first.

Applications

AcryWeld is suitable for applications requiring a low-viscosity plastic adhesive and a clean bond line, such as:

• Acrylic tanks and structures.
• Displays and presentation stands.
• Advertising letters and signage.
• POS and POP materials.
• Transparent plastic structures.
• Plastic housings and profiles.
• Model making.
• Alurapid and Elkamet materials.

How to use RESION AcryWeld 

Ensure that the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from grease before starting.

1. Position the components precisely against each other.
2. Apply a small amount of adhesive along the bond line using a fine needle or dispensing applicator.
3. Allow the adhesive to flow into the joint through capillary action.
4. Wait a few seconds and gently press the components together.

5. Allow the bonded assembly to cure without applying any load.

Do not use more adhesive than necessary. Due to its very low viscosity, comparable to that of water, AcryWeld spreads easily throughout the bond line.
