Use 50A Primer for: Enhancing the adhesion of sealants and adhesives on non-porous surfaces, improving bonding to difficult substrates, and ensuring maximum performance and longevity of sealant applications.
50A Primer is an adhesive wipe specifically designed to improve the adhesion of polyurethane, MS, silicone, and acrylic sealants and adhesives to non-porous surfaces. It's ideal for use on metals, powder coats, plastics, paints, lacquers, and other challenging substrates. This primer is particularly useful in sign manufacturing, caravan, marine, and automotive manufacturing and repair. When maximum performance and longevity are required, 50A Primer, combined with light abrasion and cleaning with Adheseal IPA cleaner, ensures a strong and durable bond.
Key Features of 50A Primer
- Enhances Adhesion: Improves the bond strength of sealants and adhesives on non-porous surfaces.
- Fast Drying: Ready for sealant/adhesive application shortly after application.
- Ready to Use: Single-pack, user-friendly formulation.
- Non-Corrosive: Safe for use on various substrates without causing corrosion.
- Increases Durability: Proven to extend the long-term durability and life of sealants and adhesives.
Technical Overview
50A Primer is formulated to promote adhesion on non-porous substrates. Its application prepares the surface to create a stronger bond with sealants and adhesives. Proper surface preparation and application of 50A Primer are crucial for achieving optimal results, especially on challenging surfaces like powder coat.
Chemical Properties: Clear alcohol solution.
Application Temperature Range: +5°C to +40°C.
Application Information
- Required Tools: Adheseal IPA cleaner, clean cloth. For extremely non-porous substrates, light abrasion tools may be needed.
- Trade-Specific Tips: For maximum performance on extremely non-porous substrates, lightly abrade the surface and clean it thoroughly with IPA Cleaner before applying 50A Primer. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth.
- Common Issues and Solutions: Do not use if the primer appears milky, as this indicates water absorption. Ensure the primer dries completely before applying sealant/adhesive.
Storage and Shelf Life
- Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry place between 10°C and 35°C.
- Shelf Life Information: 12 months in original packaging.
- Temperature Considerations: Avoid storing in extreme temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions About 50A Primer
Q: How do I know if a surface is porous or non-porous?
A: Dispense a small puddle of water on the surface. If the water absorbs in less than two minutes, it's porous. If it remains, it's non-porous.
Q: Can I use 50A Primer on porous surfaces?
A: No, 50A Primer is designed for non-porous surfaces. Use Adheseal 2001 primer for porous surfaces.
Q: How do I apply 50A Primer?
A: Clean the surface with Adheseal IPA cleaner, then wipe the area with 50A Primer using a clean cloth. Apply sparingly and allow it to dry completely.
Q: What should I do if the primer appears milky?
A: If the primer is milky, it has absorbed water and should be disposed of. Do not use it.
Q: How long does 50A Primer take to dry?
A: When applied correctly, it dries very quickly (approximately 15 seconds). If it takes longer, it has been applied too heavily.
Use 50A Primer for:
- Enhancing the adhesion of polyurethane, MS, silicone, and acrylic sealants/adhesives.
- Bonding to powder coat and other challenging non-porous surfaces.
- Sign manufacturing.
- Caravan, marine, and automotive manufacturing and repair.
- Applications requiring maximum performance and longevity of sealant/adhesive bonds.
Why Use 50A Primer:
- Ensures strong and durable bonds on non-porous surfaces.
- Simplifies application with its ready-to-use formulation.
- Reduces the risk of adhesion failure and extends the life of sealant/adhesive applications.
- Provides versatility with its suitability for various substrates and applications.
How to apply 50A Primer:
- Ensure the surface is sound, stable, dry, clean, and free of contaminants.
- Clean non-porous surfaces with Adheseal IPA cleaner.
- Wipe the area with 50A Primer, using a clean cloth and applying sparingly.
- Allow the primer to dry completely before applying the sealant or adhesive.
- For extremely non-porous surfaces, light abrasion and thorough cleaning with IPA Cleaner are recommended before applying the primer.
50A Primer limitations:
- Do not use if the contents of the container have become milky.
- Use only in well-ventilated spaces.
- Do not expose the primed surface to thermal, mechanical, or chemical influences before the product has dried.
- Do not use on porous surfaces.
Safety precautions when using 50A Primer:
- Personal Protective Equipment: Wear safety shoes, gloves, apron, and chemical goggles. Gloves made from nitrile rubber are suggested for intermittent contact.
- Inhalation: Keep the victim calm and remove them to fresh air. Obtain medical treatment immediately.
- Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with water, followed by soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
- Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes, removing contact lenses. Seek medical advice after flushing.
- Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Clean mouth with water and drink plenty of water afterwards. Obtain medical treatment immediately.
