MC-Bond is a solvent-based acrylic cement designed for bonding acrylic, PETG, and polycarbonate sheet materials. This fast-setting adhesive forms strong bonds through solvent welding, making it suitable for plastic fabrication, display assembly, and industrial bonding applications.
Compatible materials: Acrylic (PMMA), PETG sheet, polycarbonate sheet, and related thermoplastic materials.
MC-Bond is commonly used in fabrication workflows where clean, durable bonds are required between plastic components. The low-viscosity solvent cement rapidly penetrates mating surfaces to create strong assembled joints after short contact times.
Researchers, fabricators, and industrial users commonly utilize acrylic solvent cements for display construction, plastic assemblies, laboratory equipment fabrication, prototyping, and specialty manufacturing applications.

FAQ
Click a question to expand.
1. What is MC-Bond used for?
MC-Bond is used for bonding acrylic, PETG, and polycarbonate sheet materials in fabrication, display construction, and industrial assembly applications.
2. Does MC-Bond work on acrylic sheets?
Yes. MC-Bond is designed for solvent welding acrylic sheet and acrylic plastic components.
3. Can MC-Bond bond PETG and polycarbonate?
Yes. MC-Bond is compatible with PETG and polycarbonate sheet materials used in plastic fabrication applications.
4. How does solvent cement bonding work?
Solvent cements temporarily soften compatible plastic surfaces, allowing the materials to fuse together as the solvent evaporates.
5. What factors affect bond strength?
Bond strength depends on surface cleanliness, material compatibility, joint fit, solvent application, and curing conditions.
