Bonding Tempered Glass To Glossy ABS

10/16/2026 5:09 AM

Hello! Anyone have a suggestion for an adhesive/sealant/glue that will bond tempered glass to glossy ABS plastic? Constraints are: *This a sliding door handle of a horizontal ice-cream refrigerator which is -20 C inside, * don't prefer 2K adhesives or sealants, * handling time 2-3 hours, * breaking strength 35 Newton, not possible to use CA or UV adhesives. Thanks in advance

look at a one-part MS polymer adhesive, such as TaftGrip. It's listed for glass and ABS, with a service temperature down to -40°C. The catch is cure time: it needs about 24 hours for functional cure, so don't confuse initial grip with load-bearing strength. Lightly abrade the glossy ABS, clean both surfaces with a compatible cleaner, and test the actual parts first. If you need the full 35 N strength within 2–3 hours, confirm that requirement with the adhesive supplier before committing.
