Adheseal Primer 50A is a clear, fast-drying adhesion-promoter wipe for non-porous surfaces before selected polyurethane, MS polymer, silicone and acrylic sealants or adhesives. It is particularly useful on powder-coated metal and other difficult-to-bond finishes where surface preparation can determine the success of the joint.
Choose 50A for sound, non-absorbing substrates such as suitable aluminium, coated metal, fibreglass, porcelain and tested plastics. For porous masonry, concrete and timber, use a suitable penetrating primer such as Everflex Supaprime instead.
Common applications
-
Powder-coated metal joints: adhesion preparation before a suitable construction sealant or adhesive.
-
Sign fabrication: treating compatible panels, coated metals and plastic components before bonding.
-
Caravan and vehicle assembly: improving adhesion on specified non-porous fabrication surfaces.
-
Glass, ceramic and fibreglass details: surface priming when the chosen adhesive system calls for it.
Application essentials
Clean and dry the surface first, including a suitable wipe with Adheseal IPA Cleaner. Light abrasion may be needed on very smooth powder coat. Apply 50A sparingly; it should dry in seconds rather than remain visibly wet. Use only in a ventilated area and follow the sealant system's preparation instructions and compatibility testing.
Do not use on porous substrates, lead or copper. Discard any primer that has turned milky through moisture contamination, and protect the primed surface from disturbance before bonding.
