Hi Ventkatachlam !

In a nutshell, nbg or verdammt unmoeglich...

Just ask SIMONA and you would get the same answer.

Tut mir Leid !

There are weldable so-called 'teflons' but that's it. No known glue for any of them.

Warum die Frage?

Back in the dark ages, US Plastics sold a metallic sodium solution for prepping the surfaces of teflon so glue would hold. It was not fresh when I got around to using it, and did not work very well. IE, it stuck some, but not very well.

I forget who sold it and do not know if it is still on the market. It is called Tetra-Etch. Supposedly you can also plasma treat the material to defluorinate it. I have tried neither.

Check out the RELTEK website. They have teflon adhesives along with an etchant preparation.
