ITW METHACRYLATES ITW PLEXUS, manufacturers of PLEXUS Methacrylate Adhesives, reports that the methacrylate technology of today represents "a quantum leap over the past performance of the more traditional acrylic technology" and was developed to fill the shortcomings such as the brittleness, gap filling and less than reliable cures of the early acrylics

The PLEXUS structural methacrylate adhesives provide superior performance across a wide range of substrates including  today's most advanced, difficult to bond plastics. EASY TO MIX AND APPLY: Plexus two component adhesives are combined in a ratio of 1:1, allowing them to be mixed and  dispensed using manual or less sophisticated non-metered dispensing equipment. WIDE RANGE OF SUBSTRATES...Methacrylate adhesives is compatible with a wide range of substrates including: Stainless Steel, Epoxy Coated Surfaces, PVC, ABS, Aluminum,Styrenecs, Steel, Noryl, Azloy, Rynite, Valox, Lomod, RIM Urethane, SMC, Xenoy, Bexloy, Ceramics and Ferrites. NEW FROM PLEXUS! This is the adhesive that everyone has wanted, but has never been made until now!!! Plexus MA685 is a 2-part methacrylate adhesive designed for solid surface seaming and assembly. Plexus MA685 is a highly translucent, clear, UV stable, non-yellowing adhesive.
