Fastening VYCOM In this chapter, various methods of fastening HDPE are covered, as well as important details to consider during the fabrication process. With the numerous uses for HDPE and the differing environments of service, it is important to take into account the material properties during fabrication and installation. Adhesives There are many different methods of fastening Seaboard, Designboard and Playboard to various substrates. In some industries, mechanical fasteners using screws, nails or staples are common. However, adhesives can also be an effective bonding tool provided that the correct adhesive is chosen for the applications (Figure 2a). Generally, HDPE is difficult to adhere to itself or other substrates due to the low surface energy. Two part epoxy and two part acrylic systems have proven effective. Suggested adhesives are shown in the table below. Lap shear strength values of greater than 1,000 psi have been achieved. HDPE has been successfully bonded to itself, wood, aluminum, fiberglass and Gelcoat. NOTE! Use caution during heat-cycles. Insufficient bonding may occur.
