Study Notes
Plastic Bonding
- Plastic bonding uses adhesives to join plastic substrates.
- One-component adhesive and two-component adhesives are used.
- One-component adhesive combines resin and hardener in one package.
- One-component adhesive cures through a chemical reaction triggered by heat or moisture.
- Two-component adhesive requires mixing and applying pressure to cure.
Repairing Plastic Cracks with Two-Component Adhesive
- Steps include: choosing adhesive, cleaning, grinding a "V", mixing adhesive, applying filler, sanding and contouring, and painting.
Safety for Body Repair Work Shop
- Wear personal protective equipment like eyewear, gloves, hearing protection, and respiratory protection.
- Keep work area clean and free from oils or grease.
- Do not use tools without protective masks.
Plastic Welding
