Unfortunately, they create significant problems when the manufacturer has to glue these materials together.<\/p>\n

Let’s start by defining exactly what is meant by difficult-to-bond material. These materials are usually plastics that have low surface energy, i.e., low wettability, and smooth, glossy surfaces.<\/p>\n

The wettability of a material is the ability to allow a liquid to spread evenly over its surface instead of creating droplets. An example familiar to everyone is the paint on a car that has been waxed: wax has poor wettability, and when wet, water creates droplets that do not adhere and run off easily. In parallel, when trying to glue a material with poor wettability, the adhesive flows and fails to cling to the surface.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]HOW TO GLUE THESE PLASTICS?<\/u><\/p>\n
