Adhesive for PE

Advanced Adhesion Inc., the manufacturer of Mr. Sticky’s Poly-Bonder, has formulated a groundbreaking adhesive for the structural bonding of the polyolefins. Mr. Sticky’s Poly-Bonder offers structural bonds to HDPE approaching 2,000 psi lap shears. This means that HDPE can be fabricated without welding and can also be bonded to other plastics, metal, wood, ceramics, glass and more.

The adhesive is toughened with the inclusion of rubber to avoid the typical epoxy pitfall of brittleness. Its toughness, imparted by flexibility, causes the energy required to break a bond to be significantly higher than brittle epoxies.

Most epoxies’ elongation is limited to 1 to 3%. To bond plastics or flexible substrates an adhesive must be quite flexible to match plastic elongation. Poly-Bonder’s elongation is 108% allowing it to resist shrinkage, expansion, bending, vibration, shock and fatigue.

Poly-Bonder also bonds LDPE, UHMW, PP and PVC. Structural bonding of the olefins does require a quick flame treatment. Poly-Bonder is paintable, sandable and UV resistant. It is formulated in an ISO facility in the United States.
