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.
