Product Overview
ACRI-BOND 110 is a slower set, thickened, clear solvent cement ideal for joining cast and extruded acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS and more. ACRI-BOND 110 is a solvent cement meaning it works by chemically softening and fusing the surfaces of compatible plastics. This creates a true molecular bond where the two parts effectively become one solid piece after curing. This provides a strong bond that other Acrylic Glues cannot achieve.
ACRI-BOND 110 is widely used to do butt joints, t joint, mitre joints and face to face joints. Due to being thickened it allows for some gap filling and easier to apply compared to other conventional solvent adhesives. As it is a slower setting solvent adhesive it is perfect for use in smaller production lines, for hobbyists, in education or material specific applications where you would like the adhesive to be more forgiving.
ACRI-BOND 110 or 125?
ACRI-BOND 110 is slower setting and a less aggressive solvent compared to ACRI-BOND 125 which dries faster and penetrates acrylic deeper providing a stronger bond. However, ACRI-BOND 110 is more forgiving to use as it is slower setting.
If you are finding bubbles appearing when using ACRI-BOND 110, try using ACRI-BOND 125 as it is specially formulated to reduce this due to it curing much more rapidly. For true bubble free joining for indoor use consider our ACRI-BOND UV Adhesives.

Applications and Uses
ACRI-BOND 110 has been designed for bonding Acrylic to Acrylic. It also shows good results when bonding Polycarbonate, HIPS, ABS and PVC to themselves. If your substrate is not listed in our material suitability tab due to it being mixed or other plastic material combinations, contact us or test on a small job before using in your production.
It can be used in a range of plastic fabrication jobs. For example: Sign Fabrication, Display Boxes, Plastic Structures, Model Making and Point of Sale Displays.
Tools and Accessories
For professional use of ACRI-BOND 110 it is important to use the right tooling. We recommend using our 65mL Applicator Bottle with either a 0.8mm (green base) or 1.4mm (dark green base) precision dispensing tip. This will allow for maximum control of the adhesive when applicating. ACRI-BOND 110 100mL Varieties come in a clear 100mL Applicator Bottle, these are also suitable for this thickened adhesive.
To help dispense the adhesive into the applicator bottles we stock small clear funnels and clear 100mL beakers.

Instructions for use
Parts to be joined should fit without forcing and be clean, it is recommended to use Acri-Bond Cleaner prior to applying any product to remove any dust and dirt. Apply adhesive with suitable applicator and assemble while parts are still wet. Press parts together in firm contact. ACRI-BOND 110 forms an initial bond in about 4 minutes. Strength develops rapidly reaching full strength in 24 to 48 hours leaving about 30% dry residue. For a tutorial how to use please refer to our YouTube Chanel.
Shelf Life and Storage
ACRI-BOND 110 has a 2+ Year Shelf Life when stored correctly.
Store in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight to extend the shelf life of this product. Keep the open container tightly closed do not leave open as the adhesive will evaporate.
