Solvent bonding reinforced abs/pc
Solvent bonding reinforced abs/pc
(OP)
I am designing some injection molded parts to be made from abs/pc alloy. It is desireable to use glass fiber reinforcement. Is it possible to solvent bond these parts together? The stress on the joint is minimal.






RE: Solvent bonding reinforced abs/pc
It works better if some ABS or PC/ABS polymer is added to the solvent to increase viscosity and to "add material" to the joint as it evaporates.

The glass of course does not reinforce across the bond interface, but you already indicated the bond is not in a high stress area, so all should be OK
