Plastic materials and their glues.
Gluing plastic - there's nothing to it.
The multiplicity of plastics and their differing structures, surfaces and properties means that it is not easy to stick plastics together. Certain plastics can only be stuck together with the help of additional chemical, physical or mechanical aids, thereby posing an insuperable problem for the ordinary individual.
You will find here an alphabetical list of plastics and a number of items that are often – but unfortunately not always – made of these plastics. These items are also offered as a second search criterion, as it is not always easy to identify the various different plastics with any certainty.
Both these search methods will turn up alternative recommendations for adhesives to stick the indicated plastics together. A further clue in identifying plastics is often given by the marks stamped on the plastic for disposal purposes
