How about telling us what you have done already that didn't work?

I tried with this adhesion promotors after clean with MEK:
1.chlorinated polyolefines at 6% pbw in MEK/TOL
2.Desmodur L-1260 (isocyanate)at 5% in ETHYL ACETATE
3. Hypalon CP-337 at 6% in MEK/TOL/CICLOHEXANONE

all the results were adhesion fail over the PS. The PU solvent based adhesive did not attach over the surface of the polystyrene
