Introduction



When appearance matters just as much as strength, your plastic fabrication needs to look as good as it performs. That’s where high-clarity bonding comes in.


At S&D Solutions, we use advanced bonding techniques to produce crystal-clear, bubble-free joins ideal for acrylic panels, protective screens, and display units where visibility and finish are essential.




What is High-Clarity Bonding?



High-clarity bonding refers to fabrication techniques that join plastic components, especially clear materials like acrylic, without visible residue, bubbles, or distortion.


We primarily use two methods:


  • Solvent Welding – chemically melts and fuses the surfaces for a clean, strong join

  • UV Bonding – uses UV-activated adhesives for precise, transparent joins in detailed work



These techniques are particularly important for customer-facing items, clean environments, or anywhere the join will be seen.




Where It’s Used



We use high-clarity bonding for a wide range of applications, including:


  • Point-of-sale (POS) displays

  • Retail fixtures

  • Acrylic display cases and stands

  • Medical equipment panels

  • Hygiene screens and protective covers

  • Museum and exhibition enclosures



If it’s clear plastic and needs to look premium, this is how we make it happen.




Why Choose Professional Bonding Over DIY or Basic Fixings?



Many bonding jobs fail because of:


  • Poor surface prep

  • Imprecise join edges

  • Using the wrong adhesive or too much

  • Rushing the curing process



Our team works with tight tolerances, smooth cuts (via CNC), and experienced hands, meaning your join is not just clear, but strong, reliable, and long-lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions



What materials can you bond clearly?
Acrylic is the most common, but we also work with PETG, polycarbonate, and other plastics depending on the application.

Will the bond hold up over time?
Yes — our bonds are made for long-term durability, assuming proper handling and environment.

Can you bond parts we supply?
In most cases, yes — but we’ll need to inspect materials and surfaces first to ensure compatibility.

Do you offer this for large or curved panels?
Yes — we have experience in both large-scale and shaped bonding projects.
