Description
Weld-On 16 Acrylic Cement – DCM & TCE Free
Safer Solvent Cement with Identical Performance to Legacy Weld-On 16
Weld-On 16 acrylic cement is a medium-bodied, high-strength acrylic adhesive reformulated to eliminate methylene chloride (DCM) and trichloroethylene (TCE) in compliance with EPA regulations. It delivers fast curing, strong bonds, and reliable weather resistance—making it ideal for signage, plastic housings, industrial assemblies, and display work. For the legacy formula with methylene chloride, see our original Weld-On 16 (MC-based) version.
With a 5-minute working time and excellent gap-filling capability, weld-on 16 acrylic cement is a go-to for plastic fabricators who need durability and alignment flexibility during bonding. This next‑gen formula offers the same trusted performance, now with improved worker safety and simplified SDS handling.
