SCIGRIP SG400LSE MMA Methyl Methacrylate Adhesive for Low Surface Energy Plastics, Polypropylene
About SCIGRIP SG400LSE MMA Methyl Methacrylate Adhesive for Low Surface Energy Plastics, Polypropylene
SCIGRIP® SG400LSE MMA Methyl Methacrylate Adhesive is a two-component 10:1 formulation tailored for bonding low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene, other polyolefins, and thermoplastic elastomers to metals, FRP and other plastics – without the use of primers, and with little to no surface preparation.
Its fast cure time and high initial tack facilitate efficient assembly processes, reducing production time and increasing overall productivity. Application of SCIGRIP 400LSE is simple, requiring minimal surface preparation due to its excellent wetting properties.
Capable of creating durable cross bonds with plastics, metals, and composites, it’s versatility extends across industries including automotive, electronics, signage, and assembly, where it excels in bonding components subjected to harsh environmental conditions and mechanical stresses.
The adhesive exhibits no sagging, maintaining stability even when applied vertically and boasts low exotherm properties, minimising heat generation during the curing process.
For ease of use, SCIGRIP SG400LSE is supplied in pre-measured, side-by-side double syringe cartridges and includes static mixing nozzles for straightforward application.
