What adhesive or glue can I use with YUPO?

We recommend a polyurethane-based adhesive called 3M PUR adhesive. For mounting to wood, the best part number would be 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ PUR Adhesive TS230. There are probably other polyurethane-based adhesives available as well.

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) based hot glues are also compatible. Many hot glue sticks are made of EVA but some formulations could vary and I’m not sure if they have to disclose composition.

We also recommend double-sided tapes 3M 476XL or 3M 9456. We believe these will work with wood/YUPO but cannot say for certain.

The key would be the adhesive should be able to bond polypropylene (YUPO) to the desired material, such as wood. Water-based adhesives, however, will not work.

If you are bonding to wood, the wood and any type of treatment can impact the adhesive bond strength.

Excess temperature from the adhesive could cause YUPO to distort or shrink so care must be taken to use the lowest temperature possible.
