TENSOL 12 Acrylic Adhesive, 50ml Bottle/Perspex Bonding Glue Cement

Product Information

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):

Do not use adhesive that has been mixed for more than 20 minutes as it will be difficult to use and givepetroleum ether or white spirit then washed with water. Extruded or machined parts should be annealed assembly. After 4 hours cure the parts can be lightly machined but, for the best results, the joint should be 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.

Before using Tensol 12 store the adhesive at 5 to 10oC for 12 hours to reduce solvent evaporation between 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. 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. They should be left twenty four hours before taking out. This glue is very strong as it 'fuses' both shrinks on curing allowance must be made for this when making butt joints and fillet joints. When bondingThe bonds obtained using Tensol 70 are of approximately the same strength as the acrylic sheet. Typical 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’). SW or AG grades and is not suitable for laminating sheets. Typical bond strengths are 24 MPa for a cold Extraction and ventilation is vital. Tensol releases fumes, dangerous to inhale. The fumes can ignite under the wrong circumstances. For this reason, extraction / ventilation is vital. Wear suitable protective clothing.
