Product Overview
This is the new formulation of SciGrip Weld-On #3, reformulated to be free from DCM (dichloromethane) and TCE (trichloroethylene).
Weld-On 3 is a water-thin, non-flammable cement formulated for clear bond to many thermoplastic substrates, particularly acrylic. The initial bond forms within a few minutes and quickly increases in strength to a high level within only a few hours. 1 minute of working time, 2 minute fixture time and 80% strength at 24 hours. If more time is needed consider Weld-On 4.
Weld-On 3 is formulated for cementing acrylic (poly-methyl methacrylate) plastic to itself. It will also form strong bonds with other thermoplastics such as polystyrene, CAB (cellulose acetate butyrate), PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) and polycarbonate to themselves. It is not recommended for cross-linked acrylic.
SciGrip Weld-On #3 is used extensively in sign fabrication. Strong butt joints are made with flat sheets by using the soak method for such applications as cementing letters to acrylic panels. Butyrate trim-capping of acrylics is another highly recommended use for SciGrip Weld-On #3. It is also widely used in the POP industry (e.g. display), and in the fabrication and bonding of plastic containers, housewares, bottles and many other applications using the capillary method.
