Question 1

What is the real difference between loctite epoxy plastic bonder and loctite super glue plastics bonding system with activator?

Accepted Answer

The difference is in what you want to bond. Epoxy is a 2 part glue that is mixed in equal parts, it will bond plastics such as ABS, PVC, nylon, and Acrylic which are  "NON" waxy plastics. The loctite super glue plastics bonding system is a Cyanoacrylates type glue and can be use on plastics such as polypropylene , HDPE, PE, etc which are a "Waxy" type of plastics.

Question 2

Anyone know what the activator is? Can I use the activator with other glues?

Accepted Answer

I'm still searching myself--perhaps this will help someone:  IF n-Heptane works as an activator to bond plastics, you can buy a pint can of (apparently 100% pure) nHeptane on Amazon for under $14:  "BESTINE Solvent and Thinner for Rubber Cement...16 Ounce Can".  Amazon's link:  https://www.amazon.com/BESTINE-Solvent-Thinner-Rubber-Cement/dp/B004O7HM38/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1534190132&sr=8-1&keywords=heptane&dpID=51xQHaC%252BC6L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

I would very much like to know if this would work as an activator to bond polyethylene to polypropylene using a glue (such as a super glue, and perhaps others)?

Question 3

does this bond clear PET plastic?

Accepted Answer

Loctite's website says its designed for polyethylene plastics so I would give it a try. Other glues that seem to bond anything to anything are the various GOOP glues and E6000, which I prefer because it isn't so thick. GOOP and E6000 are basically the same type of glue (synthetic rubber based) with the latter being a little easier to work with, especially for small components. Both are made by the same company. But I would try the Loctite glue -- it makes a really strong bond. Be sure to follow the instructions EXACTLY and make sure you put a substantial amount of the activator (contained in the pen component) onto both surfaces and wait 20 seconds to dry before applying the glue component to one of the surfaces and putting the parts together. Hold the two parts together for at least 30 seconds to set/cure.

Question 4

Will this work on something coated with teflon (pfte) ?

Accepted Answer

I would say if the teflon coating is in good shape it should work pretty well....
