Challenges when bonding plastic

Bonding plastic requires a great deal of precision and the right material. This is because plastic has a variety of surfaces and properties.

Typical problems when bonding plastic:

• Difficulty in achieving a strong and lasting bond
• Different types of plastic that require special adhesives

Different types of plastic

There are a large number of different types of plastic. A recycling symbol can be found on every plastic item.

This symbol can be used to distinguish between the different types. The symbol consists of three arrows. Most of them are green and arranged in a circle. These arrows symbolize the recycling cycle. 

There is a number in the center of the circle of arrows. This number identifies the material used. There is usually also an abbreviation next to the symbol. This stands for the appropriate material group.

Here is an example:

If you see a recycling symbol with a “6” and the abbreviation “PS”, this is polystyrene. This material is usually hard and crystal clear. It is used in shopping bags, plastic bowls and disposable tableware.

However, most people know polystyrene in its foamed form as Styrofoam. It is a very popular material for packaging and insulating objects.

However, there is also harder plastic that meets higher requirements. This material is even used in medicine and for bulletproof vests. But that’s not all: hard plastic is also found in many objects in our households.

Fachbegriff: The so-called “thermoplastics” include, for example, polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate (PC), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamides (PA) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
