Description
Plexus MA420 (also known as AO420) is a two-part methacrylate adhesive designed for structural bonding of thermo plastic, metal and composite assemblies. Combined at a 10:1 ratio is a rapid curing system and is the standard choice for composite bonding applications in the transportation industry because it requires no surface preparation.
Plexus changed the name of this popular formula, and it is now called AO420. But many customers know it as MA420
