Actually, there are several surface prep methods that will greatly enhance bonding by altering the surface molecules. http://www.masterbond.com/bssp/bspolye.html has a discussion of techniques, ending with a couple of chemical products they make on a wholesale basis.
Hot melt adhesives can work well, and are available for hobbyist glue guns. Bostik 6384, 6390 specifically specify PE in their description.
Penguin Cement http://www.sunstarea.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=27 include commercial adhesives used in the automotive industry.
Loctite is rumored to have an epoxy that will bond to PP. The Loctite® All Plastics product (activator followed by cement) is labeled for PE and PP.
Addendum by another contributor: I have used Loctite Super Glue Activator on polyetheylene sheeting (a rink liner with a hole). The bond seems very strong (a patch of sheeting attached to damaged sheet). The bond is strong enough to tear the sheet before peeling off (on a test piece of course; I didn't rip open my rink liner!)
Tech-bond http://www.tech-bond.net/Debonders_Accelerators_Gels.html sells a chemical prep solution via internet (note that they also bond Teflon).
I'm sure other brands exist. Dow Corning makes several saline compounds that are great additives for adhesives that need to bond to organic polymers so formulators (e.g. tech-bond) should be providing solutions.
I also used an automobile headliner spray adhesive as an underlayment for attaching self stick reflective numbers to my PP mail box and that's held up well for 2 years.
(I have no interest in any of the above companies; this is just a result of my Google searches for 'will bond to polypropoline' (sic) -- more hits than using the correct spelling. polypropylene.)

What can be used to patch polyethylene?
Specialized adhesives designed for polyethylene, such as polyethylene adhesive or polyethylene repair tape, can be used to patch polyethylene materials. These products are formulated to bond effectively with polyethylene, providing a secure and durable patch. Additionally, heat welding or using a polyethylene welding kit can also be an effective method for patching polyethylene.
What brass compression fitting is used for 14 copper tube to 38 polyethylene tubing?
38 polyethylene piping does not exist.
What is poly tubing typically most used for?
Polyethylene (or PE) is an often used plastic material. Polyethylene tubing is usually used in laboratories for a various number of tasks. Another main application area is water transport or the usage for drinking of water or other liquids.
What adhesive used to bond polyethylene sheet?
Perhaps DP8005 by 3M ???Loctite Plastix BonderBonds all plastics, even polyethylene and polypropyleneTwo-part application - activator and adhesive, no mixing requiredYes, I found loctite Activator for superglue works well to make a strong, sealed patch on a polyethelene sheet (in my case, a rink liner with a hole).Ans 5 - The best adhesive I've found for polyethylene is 'Gloozit Plumbers Goop'. It works well on many shiny, flexible surfaces
What is used to bond polyethylene to itself?
Hot welding with a polyethylene stick is the only way. No glue has yet been made that will effectively adhere to polyethylene.
Where is Polyethylene found in?
Polyethylene is commonly found in plastic items such as plastic bags, plastic bottles, and food containers. It is also used in pipes for plumbing and tubing for irrigation systems. Additionally, polyethylene is used in the manufacturing of many types of packaging materials.
How you clean tile adhesive of floor tiles?
If they are ceramic tiles and this is the adhesive used to bond them, instructions will be on the container.
What does the PH-6 stands for in tubing?
PH-6 refers to the material grade of the tubing, which is polyethylene with a high-density level. This type of tubing is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion and chemicals. It is commonly used in various industrial applications due to its strength and versatility.
What is dry-bond?
Re-positional adhesive used mainly in scrapbooking
What is the chemical composition of lamination adhesive?
Lamination adhesive typically consists of a combination of polymers, resins, and solvents. Polymers such as polyurethane, polyethylene, or polyester provide the adhesive properties, while resins help improve adhesion and cohesion. Solvents are used to adjust the viscosity and drying time of the adhesive.
What type of adhesive should be used for bonding materials to polystyrene, and why is it important to use a polystyrene compatible adhesive?
The recommended adhesive for bonding materials to polystyrene is a polystyrene-compatible adhesive. It is important to use this type of adhesive because it is specifically designed to adhere well to polystyrene, ensuring a strong and durable bond. Using a non-compatible adhesive may not bond properly to the polystyrene, leading to weak adhesion and potential failure of the bond.
What are the different etching agents used in restorative dentistry?
Examples of different etching agents used in restorative dentistry include Total-etch Adhesive, XP Bond-Universal, and One-Step-Universal Dental Adhesive. Most dentist use a universal adhesive that will bond to all dental substrates.
