dissolved in solvent for the bonding of acrylic sheet for interior use only. Tensol 12 hardens as the solvent applications, 1 to 2 weeks should be adequate. To obtain the maximum strength more rapidly the bond can perspex together permanently. Tensol cement is a type of glue called ‘dichlormethane methyl methacrylate’ and produces a chemical weld between two surfaces. The glue is applied to the surfaces to be glued and they are pressed together. They should be clamped for 24 hours and this gives a permanent joint.

SW or AG grades and is not suitable for laminating sheets. Typical bond strengths are 24 MPa for a cold shrinks on curing allowance must be made for this when making butt joints and fillet joints. When bonding The bonds obtained using Tensol 70 are of approximately the same strength as the acrylic sheet. Typical EVO-Stik TENSOL 70 is intended for cementing acrylic sheet to itself, but it will bond acrylic sheet to other materials such as wood. Applications include sign making, model making, structural engineering and acrylic sheet repair. Unsupported gaps of up to 1mm can be produced. EVO-Stik TENSOL 70 is not recommended for structural applications on aircraft. Mix Ratio (By Weight):Liquid solvent is applied using a brush or a syringe (often supplied with the glue). As it is a liquid, it is drawn along joints and surfaces through a process called capillary action. Care must be taken, as the glue damages exposed surfaces (as it melts the surfaces of the materials forming a ‘weld joint’). Once the adhesive has set the final bond strength can be increased by heat curing the material. This can Tensol 70 is a two component, acrylic adhesive which hardens at room temperature by the polymerisation An alternative to a vice is a set of G-Cramps. These spread the pressure across the surfaces being joined, in much the same way as a vice. Notice the wood lengths that protect the ‘plastic’ and evenly distribute the pressure from the clamps.

ANGLOSOL CEMENT 1200 should not be used for outdoor applications and cannot be used with Perspex ME, Perspex SW or Perspex AG grades.Nor is it recommended for laminating cast acrylic (Perspex) sheets as crazing will eventually occur. Select an adhesive (Tensol), which joins plastics such as acrylic, together permanently. Tensol is also called ‘dichlormethane methyl methacrylate’ and produces a chemical weld between two surfaces. Tensol is applied to the surfaces to be glued and they are pressed together. The surfaces are clamped for 24 hours. assembly. After 4 hours cure the parts can be lightly machined but, for the best results, the joint should be of the Part A. The Part A is a viscous mixture of acrylic polymer dissolved in monomer. The Part B is a Joints will be set sufficiently to be handled after 3 hours but must not be machined for at least 24 hours

edge to face the edge should have a 10o chamfer to allow a sufficient quantity of adhesive into the joint. Cover the container and allow the mixed adhesive to stand for 5 minutes to allow the larger air bubbles to Dispense the refrigerated cement directly into the joint using a suitable dispenser. It is best to do this in Tensol 70 is designed for bonding cast acrylic sheet. It will also bond extruded acrylic sheet, but will cause for 3 to 4 hours at 80oC. Thermoformed, highly stretched components may be heated for 4 to 5 hours at
