Glueing plastics<\/b> consists of the process by which two or more parts are assembled by means of glues and other physical processes. The cuts are made by means of <\/span>laser cutting<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>CNC router machining<\/span><\/a>, thus achieving a result that guarantees durability in plastic installations, adaptation to established measurements and maximum quality in what is known as acrylic glueing.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Plastic Express we carry out glueing of polymeric materials and other methacrylate glueing techniques. We use both silicone and industrial glue, trying to design a product that adapts to the needs required by the client. The results consist of high quality standards that are characterised by being resistant, waterproof and durable, thanks to the extensive experience acquired after many years of work and manufacture.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to glueing <\/span>acrylic plastic<\/b><\/a>, there is addition work involved. In order to do this, methylene chloride, known as dichloromethane, is used; which is a product that allows the dissolution of the material and the fusion of the parts into one to provide a single piece. It is considered a volatile, colourless chemical. Once it cools, the result that is achieved is characterised by having a high strength and durability over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another technique we use is ultraviolet curing. It consists of adding a glue that reacts with a photochemical reaction caused by ultraviolet radiation. A polymer network is then generated. In this way, the manufacturing of the product is done by polymerisation. A low-temperature, high-speed process is required, but without evaporation. The result is a really good optical quality so that the product is of the best quality for industrial use.<\/span><\/p>\n

When glueing acrylic plastic one needs to carry out either of these two techniques in order to obtain products with which a professional glueing can be achieved that provides the following qualities:<\/span><\/p>\n
