Chemical Bonding Techniques at IPFL

Tensol 70 Cementing: Ideal for acrylic sheets, Tensol 70 cement cures at room temperature to create strong, durable, and weather-resistant bonds. This method is particularly effective for external applications, producing clear, water-tight joints.
Solvent Bonding: A technique where strong solvents at room temperature weld plastic joins by temporarily dissolving surfaces, forming a permanent seal. It is cost-efficient with good environmental resistance, ideal for clear joins.
UV Bonding: Involves applying UV adhesive, which cures only when exposed to high-intensity UV light, resulting in an optically clear, tough, and robust joint. Our skilled staff ensure precise positioning before curing to avoid waste or scrap.
