Poly Prep allows you to glue the poly's

Tech-Bond Solutions
"When performance is a must!"

Polyolefin Plastics and other Polymers, such as; Nylon, Delrin®, Mylar®, Starboard®, Teflon®, UHMW's, HDPE, etc. - impossible to glue? No longer!

Consumers have found it virtually impossible to glue polymer based materials, including: polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, polyester, nylon, silicon, Teflon®, Delrin®, Mylar® and the alphabet soup of polymers; UHMW's, PET's, HDPE,'s, ABS, UHMWPE's et al. There materials are used to make everything from dentures to cell phones. Break one of these items and the response from retailers and manufacturers has been "So sorry, but you will have to buy a new (camera, printer, cell phone, etc.)"

No longer will you have to buy new when you break an item made with these space age materials. Our adhesion promoter, the Poly Prep™, will enable you to bond polymers ... easily, quickly and with strength. A liquid, the Poly Prep™ can be sprayed, rolled or brushed on the polymer surface. After applying, let the liquid dry and the surface cure for five minutes. Once cured you can "glue" the surfaces with one of our structural adhesives. The Tech-Bond system bonds polymers to themselves and to other substrates. , i.e., a monomer.  Epoxies and ethyl CA's won't work satisfactorily, even after the polymer surfaced has been primed with the Poly Prep™.

Our 1 ounce and 80 milliliter bottles come with a pump sprayer. In most cases, spraying a polymer surface to the point of saturation is the most effective way to "prime" it. If a brush is used, make sure that the polymer surface is saturated with the Poly Prep™.  Whenever taking off the cap, whether pump sprayer or brush cap, double check that, when the cap is put back on the bottle, that the cap is tight. The Poly Prep™ evaporates quickly and will disappear if the cap is not seated firmly. (Press down on the pump cap and then aggressively tighten.)

To the Skeptic(s)
The Tech-Bond system does what we say it will do - primes polymer surfaces so that you can glue them. Though your skepticism is based on real world experience which tells you that nothing will glue these plastics. But the world is constantly changing, advances in science and technology occur daily. These poly's can now by glued.

In ten years of experience in working across many industries, TBS can proudly say that we have not had a performance complaint. Why this sterling record. We take the time to find out what you need to do, the materials you're working with and where the stress to the join will arise. Then we are able to tell you whether or not our solution(s) will work for you. So call us with your situation.

Why isn't the Poly Prep™ available in retail stores?
That's a difficult question to answer, but the primary reason is probably cost. Since you really don't want to put a chemical that etches plastic in a plastic bottle, especially if that filled plastic bottle is going to sit on a shelf for long periods, a metal bottle has to be used. Metal bottles, especially if those containers are smaller sized, are more expensive than plastic bottles. Pump sprayers, the preferred distribution system are more expensive than caps and putting these pump sprayers on the bottles is not easy. Sophisticated machinery, or a great deal of care, is needed.

Plus the Poly Prep will only work with "glues" that form a molecular bond. Priming the polymer surface with the Poly Prep and then using an ethyl CA (super glue) or epoxy won't produce satisfactory results. Though not difficult to use, the Poly Prep does require instructions that need to be followed in order for the user to achieve desired results. Tech-Bond systems comes with a complete set of instructions and "how to" videos will soon be on www.tech-bond.net.
