What glue should I use for fat plastics?

Response:

It is very important to use the right kind of glue when gluing fatty plastics, which are often considered relatively difficult to glue. "Fat plastics" include, for example, PP/PE, PP, PA, PE, ABS, and PET. 

Why is it more difficult to glue fat plastics?

The reason why a specially adapted glue is required to glue so-called fat plastics is that these have a relatively low surface tension. The surface to be glued needs to have a higher surface tension than the glue has. If you use the wrong kind of glue, it is difficult to achieve a good adhesion. We at Tribotec offer acrylic glue with a lower surface tension than the surface of the fatty plastic has - and which therefore performs well with both difficult-to-glue and fatty plastics, as well as rubber and, for example, metal.
