Adhesive for Bonding Aluminum 6063-T6 to ABS
Adhesive for Bonding Aluminum 6063-T6 to ABS
(OP)
I need to bond ABS plastic to an extruded aluminum pole (6063-T6). The plastic parts are either a plug or a collar, both with .007-.015 clearance per side.
I'm having trouble finding something that gives a good bond to the ABS, nothing really chemically bonds to it that I've tried. The second part to this is that eventually the adhesive will need to be sourced/bought in China. I think that leaves 3M, etc., out but if I know what works in the US I will know what I need to look for in China.
Looking for suggestions. Thanks.

One of the 3m epoxies will work, and I'd think an acrylic based adhesive should too.

Not even JB weld chemically bonded to the ABS (not prepped).
