Not every acrylic joint can be closed with a thin, fast-evaporating adhesive. When there's a gap to fill, a large surface to bond, or a joint that needs to hold up outdoors for years, fabricators turn to reaction adhesives instead.
Acrifix reaction adhesives are built on MMA/PMMA chemistry. Rather than simply evaporating like a solvent-based glue, they cure through polymerization triggered either by UV/light exposure or by mixing in a catalyst. The adhesive first softens the surface of the acrylic parts, letting the polymer chains from both sides swell and mesh together. Then, as curing kicks in, the adhesive itself forms new polymer chains, locking everything into place with extra reinforcement that a solvent-only bond can't match.
The result is a joint that's gap-filling, handles area bonding well, and depending on the specific formulation holds up to outdoor weather exposure. This makes Acrifix reaction adhesive glue a go-to choice wherever appearance and long-term durability both matter.

Each variant differs in viscosity, cure method, and cure time. Reach out and we'll help match the right one to your joint.
Solvent adhesives bond by evaporation alone, while reaction adhesives cure through polymerization either under UV light or via a chemical catalyst. This gives reaction adhesives gap-filling ability and makes them better suited to area bonding and joints that need extra strength.
1-component adhesives cure under UV or light exposure and suit most standard bonding jobs. 2-component adhesives cure chemically with a catalyst (Acrifix CA 0020) and are typically chosen when UV curing isn't practical, or when the adhesive needs to be thinned or colored.
Most Acrifix reaction adhesives are weather-resistant, with annealing recommended for best long-term performance. Exact resistance varies by product. Our team can confirm the right choice for outdoor applications.
This depends on the specific adhesive, ranging from about an hour to over three hours. Full technical data sheets are available on request.
