Parts made of Eastman™ copolyesters can be assembled using a wide variety of joining techniques. Solvent bonding, UV-curable adhesives, and ultrasonic welding are the most common methods of joining medical devices and are the most suitable techniques for joining parts made of Eastman™ copolyesters.

In planning to use a bonding method, an Eastman technical service representative can provide you with information on acceptable mixtures and bonding methods. If you use other systems or methods, they should be tested first for bond strength, chemical stress-crack resistance, and safety.
