Acrylic cement is used for joining which materials?

Acrylic cement is used for joining which materials?

• A. For joining of acrylic and some other types of plastics; the adhesive melts the surface of the plastic and fuses it together.
• B. For joining of wood and metal only.
• C. For painting surfaces before assembly.
• D. For fastening fabrics only.

Answer: (A)

Acrylic cement bonds plastics by solvent welding. The cement contains solvents that soften the surface of acrylic (and similar plastics). When two softened surfaces are pressed together, they fuse as the solvent evaporates, creating a strong, clear bond. This makes it suitable for joining acrylic and some other plastics. It isn’t used for wood and metal, painting surfaces, or fabrics, as those materials require different bonding methods.
