Plastic Adhesive

Plastic adhesives are used in the construction of building structures and smaller components to join one or more types of plastic together. The type of adhesive used depends on the material being joined. Most plastic adhesives chemically melt a thin layer of the plastics, causing the dried joint to be a strong, chemically-connected bond between the two surfaces. Acrylic cement, for the joining of PVC, ABS and other materials is a common plastic adhesive.
