Description

Weld-On® 40 is a two-component, reactive acrylic adhesive formulated for clear, high-strength bonding of acrylic (PMMA) and a wide range of compatible thermoplastics. Supplied as Component A and Component B, it polymerizes at room temperature to form strong, weather-resistant joints within hours.

With its optical clarity, reliable performance, and versatility across substrates, Weld-On 40 is trusted in applications where both appearance and structural strength are critical—making it a go-to choice for aquariums, museum-grade displays, and specialty plastic fabrication.
