DisclaimerDisclaimerThe information contained herein is intended to be used solely as an indicator of the bondability of the evaluated plastics. The information is believed tobe accurate, and is well suited for comparative analysis, however, the testing was performed using a limited number of adhesive lots, plastic lots, andreplicates. Consequently, this makes the information contained herein inappropriate for specification purposes.Suggestions concerning the compatibility of plastics with adhesives is based on test data and general knowledge concerning the chemical resistanceof plastics. All thermoplastics have the potential to stress crack when exposed to uncured adhesive depending on the exposure time, part geometry,stresses, and plastic composition variables. Consequently, it is important that the end user evaluate the suitability of the adhesive in their process toinsure that the adhesive does not detrimentally affect the performance of the plastic.Suggestions for surface cleaners to be evaluated are based on test data and general information concerning the chemical resistance of the plastics.The chemical resistance of plastics can be affected by the exposure time, temperature, stress levels, and plastic composition variables. Consequently, itis important that the end user evaluate the suitability of the cleaning solvent in their process to insure that the solvent does not detrimentally affect theperformance of the plastic.Henkel can not assume responsibility for the results obtained by others over whose methods we have no control. It is the user's responsibility todetermine suitability for the user’s purpose of any production method mentioned herein and to adopt such precautions as may be advisable for theprotection of property and of persons against any hazards that may be involved in the handling and use thereof.In light of the foregoing, Henkel Corporation specifically disclaims all warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose arisingfrom sale or use of Henkel Corporation’s products. Henkel Corporation specifically disclaims any liability for consequential or incidentaldamages of any kind, including lost profits. The discussion herein of various process or compositions is not to be interpreted as representation thatthey are free from domination of patents owned by others or as a license under any Henkel Corporation patents which may cover such processes orcompositions. We recommend that each prospective user test the proposed application in its manufacturing process using this data as a guide. Thisproduct may be covered by one or more United States or foreign patents or patent applications.96The Loctite ® Design Guide for Bonding Plastics, Volume 4
