METAL Adhesion Promoters

Adheseal's Adhesion Promoters are formulated to improve the bond strength and durability of sealants, adhesives, and coatings on substrates that are traditionally difficult to bond. These promoters create a chemical bridge between the substrate and the applied material, ensuring a strong and lasting bond. Ideal for use on non-porous surfaces, metals, plastics, and other challenging materials, our adhesion promoters are essential for achieving reliable adhesion in a variety of construction and industrial applications. They improve the performance of subsequent coatings and sealants, ensuring long-term durability and preventing premature failure. Adheseal's Adhesion Promoters are designed to meet the rigorous demands of Australian trade professionals, providing consistent and reliable results.

Trade Professional Information

• Required Tools: Clean cloths, spray equipment (if applicable), brushes, safety glasses, gloves, cleaning solvents.
• Trade-Specific Tips: Ensure substrates are clean, dry, and free from contaminants before applying the adhesion promoter. Apply the promoter in a thin, even layer, ensuring full coverage. Allow the promoter to flash off or dry according to the manufacturer's instructions before applying the sealant, adhesive, or coating. Avoid over-application, as this can weaken the bond. For porous substrates, ensure even absorption.
• Common Issues and Solutions:
  • Issue: Poor adhesion despite using an adhesion promoter. Solution: Ensure proper surface preparation and apply the correct type of adhesion promoter for the substrate. Check the expiry date of the product.
  • Issue: Uneven application. Solution: Use appropriate application techniques and equipment. Maintain a consistent application rate.
  • Issue: Incompatibility with subsequent coatings. Solution: Check the compatibility of the adhesion promoter with the sealant, adhesive, or coating being used. Conduct a test patch if unsure.
