I am looking for something stronger than a two-component Poxipol to glue a broken lid hinge on an Electrolux top-packed washing machine and a few other repairs. Maybe you know specialized products?
Hello Personally, I use Dragon's "Plastic Glue". Adhesives including plastic housing. Its action causes the surface to melt the plastic at the point of application of the glue. After gluing, when it comes to opening such a housing, I have to use a hammer and hit the place of joining. Mostly the housing breaks and the seams remain intact.
szczurek_1990 give me a link to the description of this glue, thanks Nemonek, I usually use brown Poxipol it is amazing what I cannot say about the transparent version but in this case I need something stronger. Adhesives of this type and of the Super glue type are not flexible enough, they crumble under the influence of work.
Epoxy resin adhesives are good when the surface is larger or when you have something to fill. I would try a good cyanoacrylate glue, such as Technical T-40, it is a universal glue, but very strong. If you are very afraid that it will let go, use some specialized Loctite product.
I would also suggest cyanoacrylate. These are good adhesives only you need to know how to use. For example, in the case of plastic it is appropriate to carry out the coronation process. Once, for a trial, I glued two bottle caps (PE, such a greasy to the touch plastic). Normally this won't stick together at all. They are generally polyolefin-type plastics. After coronation, it stuck together. The attempted tearing resulted in failure other than the glued area. I carried out the crowning in an electric arc from a HV generator (with 20kV). And here to read: http://www.amb.pl/pubWiecej_119/Klejenie_tworzyw_sztucznych.html# It would be a good idea to find out what kind of plastic you want to glue.
Unfortunately. there are plastics that cannot be glued with adhesives. And even if they do, these adhesives are very expensive and difficult to use. I would rather suggest replacing the cover. There should be a stamp on the cover - a triangle with letters. And these letters are a symbol of the material.
But what kind of plastic? Are you talking about lead acid batteries? I checked on the car and I don't see any markings. However, it looks like polypropynene to me: it can be glued without any problems.
You can stick together. Formic acid works best, but it is not easy to get (concentrated) and the weld has a rather symbolic strength. When I find the old water complex, I can send it for experiments.

✨ The discussion revolves around finding a strong adhesive for repairing a broken lid hinge on an Electrolux top-packed washing machine. Users recommend various adhesives, including Dragon's "Plastic Glue," which melts plastic surfaces for a strong bond, and cyanoacrylate glues like Technical T-40, known for their strength. Some participants suggest epoxy resin adhesives for larger surfaces, while others caution that certain plastics may not bond well with common adhesives. The importance of identifying the type of plastic is emphasized, as some materials, like PA6.6, may require specialized adhesives or may not be suitable for gluing at all. Alternatives such as replacing the cover are also mentioned. Generated by the language model.
