Acrifix 192

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.
