What is the best glue for pom poms?

POM is a high-performance plastic used in cars, appliances, and machinery. Getting a strong and lasting bond with POM depends on choosing the right glue and method.This article explains the main ways to bond POM and introduces suitable adhesive types, including Molibon's specialized plastic structural adhesives, to help you achieve reliable and high-quality results.

How to bond POM together?

1.Hot Melt Welding: This method uses a specialized hot melt equipment to heat the POM surfaces. The heated parts are then pressed together, melting and fusing into a single, strong joint. It's ideal for bonding large POM components.

2.Mechanical Bonding: POM parts can be joined through mechanical connections. Instead of using adhesive, this method connects POM parts by shaping their surfaces to interlock, like gears or slots that fit together. Suitable for permanently bonding POM part.

3. Chemical Bonding: High-strength POM structural adhesive is selected for chemical bonding of POM materials. First, prepare the POM surface. Then, apply the two-component POM adhesive. Finally, press the two parts together to join them. This bonding method requires high surface properties of the POM material but can achieve good bonding results.

4. Solvent Bonding: Using a solvent to temporarily soften the surface of POM material. After applying the solvent, the surfaces become tacky and are pressed together to form a bond.Solvent bonding requires the selection of a suitable solvent and strict control of bonding time and temperature, but it can achieve good bonding results.

 Common POM Adhesive Types

• Acrylic Adhesive: It is a solvent-free POM adhesive with features such as fast curing, high strength, and high temperature resistance.Suitable for various applications of POM bonding.
• Neoprene Rubber Adhesive: Ideal for applications requiring a certain bonding strength for POM in in oily or corrosive environments.
• Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive: Known for its very high strength and excellent performance under high temperatures. A reliable choice for strong, permanent bonding of POM.
• High-Strength Modified Rubber Adhesive: Provides good wear and corrosion resistance, often used for surface bonding and sealing of POM materials.

Recommended Solution: Molibon MA-5539 LSE Structural Adhesive

For tough industrial jobs, especially bonding POM with hard-to-stick plastics like PP, PE, or PS, Molibon MA-5539 plastic adhesive glue is made to solve complex bonding challenges in modern manufacturing.

Benefits:
