Acrylic Pre-Bond Cleaner (IPA-70%)
Acrylic Pre-Bond Cleaner (IPA-70%) is a ready-to-use surface preparation solution specially formulated by Cyber Acrylics for professional acrylic (PMMA/Plexiglas/Perspex) and polycarbonate (PC) bonding projects in South Africa. This 70% isopropyl alcohol-based cleaner effectively removes dust, fingerprints, light oils, grease, and contaminants from bonding surfaces without leaving residues that could interfere with solvent cements like Diamond Bond, Acrifix, or other acrylic adhesives.

Product Information
Key Features & Benefits
Optimal concentration: 70% IPA provides excellent cleaning power with balanced evaporation and water content for safe, streak-free results on sensitive plastics.
Safe for acrylic & polycarbonate: Unlike harsher solvents (e.g., acetone or pure alcohols), this formulation minimizes the risk of crazing, cracking, fogging, or stress marks when used correctly.
Essential pre-step: Ensures maximum bond strength, clarity, and durability by creating a clean, dry, contaminant-free surface — critical for invisible, welded joints in displays, boxes, signage, enclosures, or fabrication.
Convenient & professional-grade: Supplied in practical bottles (check cyberacrylics.co.za for available sizes), with easy application via cloth or wipe.
How to Use It (Step-by-Step Guide)
Work in a well-ventilated area: Wear gloves and eye protection. Avoid open flames — IPA is flammable.
Prepare your workspace: Ensure surfaces are free of large debris first (e.g., brush off dust).
Apply the cleaner:
Pour a small amount onto a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth, soft cotton wipe, or paper towel (never pour directly onto the plastic to avoid pooling).
Gently wipe the bonding edges or surfaces in circular or straight motions to remove oils, fingerprints, and residue.
For stubborn spots, repeat with fresh cleaner on a new section of cloth.
Final wipe (optional but recommended): Follow with a dry lint-free cloth to remove any excess moisture or streaks.
Allow full drying: Let surfaces air-dry completely (usually 1–5 minutes) — no residual moisture should remain before applying adhesive.
Bond immediately: Proceed with your solvent glue (e.g., Diamond Bond for PC or Acrifix for PMMA) while surfaces are pristine for best results.
