Description
Acrifix 192 is a high-quality, one-component UV-curing adhesive specifically designed for bonding clear acrylic (PMMA) materials. It is widely used in applications requiring strong, transparent bonds, such as in signage, display cases, aquariums, and model making.
Key Features
- UV-Curing: Polymerizes upon exposure to UV light, allowing for controlled curing times.
- Clear Finish: Dries to a clear, bubble-free bond, maintaining the transparency of acrylic materials.
- Strong Bond: Provides high-strength adhesion suitable for both edge and surface bonding.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for use with cast and extruded acrylic sheets, as well as other clear plastics like polycarbonate and polystyrene.

Application Guidelines
- Surface Preparation: Clean and degrease bonding surfaces thoroughly. For best results, roughen surfaces with 230–320 grit sandpaper.
- Adhesive Application: Apply Acrifix 192 directly from the tube or using a dispenser, ensuring even coverage and avoiding air bubbles.
- Assembly: Align and fix the parts in place, ensuring no movement during the curing process.
- Curing: Expose the assembly to an appropriate light source based on the desired curing time.
- Post-Curing: For enhanced strength and weather resistance, anneal the bonded parts at 70–80°C for 2–4 hours.
Safety Precautions
- Flammability: Contains methyl methacrylate; keep away from heat and open flames.
- Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation of fumes.
- Protective Equipment: Wear suitable gloves and eye protection during application.
