Adhesion Promoters for ABS Plastic

Poly Prep – Adhesion Promoter for Polymers is Tech-Bond's primary surface preparation product. It is compatible with ABS, HDPE, PTFE, nylon, polypropylene, and silicone rubber. For a complete system, the Professional Kit or Deluxe Repair Kit bundles Poly Prep with a bonding agent, activator, and filler for end-to-end bonding capability.

Yes. Poly Prep is specifically designed for low surface energy polymers, including PTFE (Teflon), HDPE, polypropylene, nylon, and silicone rubber. These materials have historically been impossible to bond with standard adhesives, but Tech-Bond's etching formula creates the surface condition required for a strong, permanent cross-linked bond.

Poly Prep is available in six sizes: 0.75 oz, 1.5 oz, 80 ml, 8 oz, 1 Gallon, and 5 Gallon. Quantity options include single bottles, 5-packs, and 10-packs. Pricing ranges from $11.95 to $1,724.95, making it suitable for individual repairs, field technicians, and large-scale industrial operations alike.

For simple surface preparation on a known polymer substrate, Poly Prep alone may suffice as a pre-treatment step. However, for complete repair or fabrication tasks — especially on challenging substrates like Delrin, PTFE, or HDPE — the Professional Kit or Deluxe Kit provides Poly Prep, a bonding agent, activator/accelerator, filler, and debonder for full lifecycle control.

Poly Prep is a fast-acting solvent-based formula that dries quickly after application, allowing rapid progression to the bonding step. This minimizes process downtime in industrial and field repair settings. Always ensure the surface is fully dry before applying the bonding agent to achieve optimal adhesion results.

The Activator/Accelerator is a separate catalyst used to accelerate and enhance the polymer bonding reaction after surface preparation. While Poly Prep prepares the substrate, the Activator/Accelerator speeds cure time and improves final bond strength. For professional-grade and time-sensitive applications, using both together as part of the full Tech-Bond system is strongly recommended.
