What it bonds
Where the manufacturer names a material, we quote them. Where we have assessed it ourselves, we say so and grade it lower. The two are never merged.
| Material | Basis | Manufacturer wording |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic | Listed by the manufacturer A | “acrylic to itself; polycarbonate to itself” |
| Polycarbonate | Listed by the manufacturer A | “acrylic to itself; polycarbonate to itself” |
| Polystyrene | Listed by the manufacturer A | “other thermoplastics such as polystyrene, CAB (cellulose acetate butyrate), and polycarbonate to themselves” |
Preparation
Use clean, dry, close-fitting parts and control stress before cementing.
Limitations
Not recommended for cross-linked acrylic. Solvent vapour, fire and crazing hazards require the stated controls.
