Solvent Welding differs from using adhesives in that a solvent is used to soften and liquify the mating surfaces which are then fused to form a solid weld once the solvent has evaporated. These chemical welds are not subject to aging or deterioration common to glued joints. A variety of solvents are used for ABS, PC-ABS, PVC, PC and Acrylic all of which solvent-weld well. Parts are fixated before the solvent is applied with an applicator syringe. Curing occurs within minutes and full bond strength is obtained within a few hours. A well executed solvent weld is almost invisible.
