High-Performance Adhesives for PVC & UPVC Fabrication
Teraxo FX40 and PVC-specific adhesives are engineered for the unique challenges of plastic fabrication. Our chemical-resistant formulas provide strong, durable bonds for window manufacturing, pipe joining, profile assembly, and plastic fabrication applications.
In PVC and UPVC fabrication, adhesives must bond low-surface-energy plastics, withstand weather exposure, and resist plasticizer migration. Teraxo's specialized adhesives are formulated specifically for PVC and UPVC materials, providing reliable bonds that maintain integrity in outdoor applications, plumbing systems, and structural plastic assemblies.
Common Challenges in PVC & UPVC Fabrication
Water-Resistant Bonding
Standard adhesives struggle in moist and humid conditions, especially for plumbing and outdoor applications.
UV Degradation
Outdoor PVC applications require UV-resistant adhesives that won't yellow or weaken.
Plasticizer Migration
PVC plasticizers can migrate and weaken standard adhesive bonds over time.
Temperature Cycling
PVC expansion and contraction with temperature changes can break weak bonds.
Low Surface Energy
PVC's low surface energy makes it difficult for standard adhesives to wet and bond properly.
Slow Production
Long curing times slow down window manufacturing and pipe fabrication processes.
How Teraxo Solves PVC Fabrication Challenges
Water-Resistant Bonds
FX40 creates durable water-resistant bonds suitable for plumbing, outdoor windows, and moisture-prone environments.
UV Resistant
Formulated to resist yellowing and degradation from prolonged sun exposure in outdoor applications.
Plasticizer Tolerant
Special formulation resists plasticizer migration that weakens bonds in flexible PVC applications.
Flexible Bonds
Maintains bond integrity through PVC expansion and contraction with temperature changes.
Fast Production
3-10 second curing enables faster assembly lines in window manufacturing and pipe fabrication.
Chemical Resistance
Withstands exposure to cleaning chemicals, pool chlorine, and other harsh substances.
