Tamiya have prepared another type of cement dedicated to plastic parts, this time made of ABS plastic. This type of material was for example used by Finemolds to produce seatbelts sets of „Nano aviation" series.
I am not quite sure whether this item is really new but I think it's better to inform about it twice than not inform at all. Company still labels this as an „new item”.

Tamiya Cement (for ABS)
Item No:87137
Capacity: 1 bottle contains 40ml.

Descripiton as provided by company:
This new cement is specially formulated for use with ABS plastic parts such as the masts in 1/350 scale ship model kits, which cannot be attached with normal plastic cement. Cement can also be used to cement ABS plastic parts to styrene parts. The bottle's cap has an applicator brush to ensure easy application.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. A tough plastic used for such things as camera bodies, Lego Bricks etc. Tamiya might be using it for the bodies of radio-controlled racing cars and similar things. It requires special cement and paint, usually called acryl.
