With a 10:1 mix ratio and a working time of 3 to 5 minutes, this adhesive delivers strong, structural bonds at room temperature without the need for primers or special surface treatments, making it a faster, more efficient solution for challenging substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped as a polyolefin bonder, NEXTITE AB406 creates high-performance, permanent bonds where other adhesives struggle. Once cured, it offers excellent resistance to water, humidity, and chemicals (especially automotive chemicals). This makes it ideal for industrial, automotive, and assembly applications where long-term durability is essential. It also features a low exothermic reaction during bonding, which reduces the risk of material distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNEXTITE AB406 bonds both similar and dissimilar materials, including plastics, metals, and composites, even with minimal surface preparation. This can significantly reduce labour time and production costs while improving bond consistency and part aesthetics. It is also an ideal alternative to mechanical fasteners, rivets, solvent welding, or plastic welding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNEXTITE AB206 or NEXTITE AB406?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth NEXTITE AB206 and AB406 are designed for bonding difficult plastics, including polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), without requiring a separate primer.
