Solvent "Hypo" Needle Applicator for Cementing - This small applicator is used for Capillary Cementing which is the popular way of joining acrylic and polycarbonate sheet. It works because of the ability of solvent type cement to flow through a joint area by capillary action. Properly done, capillary cementing yields a strong, transparent joint.

Solvent Cements are available in several viscosities. The following is a one of the popular solvents often used and available from Modern Plastics.

IPS WELD●ON® 3, ACRYLIC CEMENT, is a non-flammable, water-thin, very fast setting solvent cement for bonding acrylics (Plexiglas®). Also bonds styrene, butyrate, PETG, and polycarbonate (Lexan®). Will not bond to cross-linked acrylics.

Modern Plastics has used the IPS WELD●ON® brand of cement products for over 30 years in our own ISO Certified Fabrication Facility and it is the premier choice of product used by professionals for the most critical of applications. You can count on consistent quality with all of the IPS WELD●ON® brand of cement products.
