A common question we get when it comes to glue is how to glue greasy or difficult plastics in a sustainable way? It can be a challenge that is difficult to crack, but we have some smart solutions for joining hard-to-glue plastics and rubbers as well as metals.
The fact that fatty plastics are more difficult to glue is because they have a relatively low surface tension. In order to get surfaces of oily plastic and other materials such as rubber and metal to stick together, you therefore need to use an adhesive with a lower surface tension than the oily plastic material.
We recommend Loxeal Superlox which is a two-component fast curing acrylic adhesive, designed to join a variety of materials, even in combination with each other. Ideal for difficult-to-glue materials and easy to use.
Loxeal Superlox:
✓ Makes it possible to create a glue joint with extreme
small gap.
✓ Is easy to use, 2-cartridge mixer tube.
✓ Provides a transparent adhesive joint with high shear and peel strength.
✓ Is ideal for, for example, plastics such as PP, PT, PTFE and PMMA, rubber, metals, wood and leather.
✓ Requires no preparatory surface treatment.
✓ Fixing time: 10 minutes.
