  • What are adhesion promoters?
  • Adhesion promoters (AP), are bi-functional materials that increase adhesive strength between the coating and the substrate, and sometimes are referred to as “ coupling agents ”. Unlike priming systems, adhesion promoters are largely applied at thinner film thicknesses and are generally thought more of as a surface treatment than an actual coating.
  • What are polyester-based adhesion promoters (PEAPs)?
  • Polyester-based adhesion promoters (PEAPs) are a series of modified UP resins that can partially replace the main binders in coatings formulations to improve their adhesion to difficult substrates.
  • Are there any good books about adhesion to polymers/plastics?
  • There are many good books written about the topic of adhesion and adhesion to polymers/plastics. This chapter is an attempt to review and provide context into variables that affect adhesion obtained to polymer surfaces, including those of both thermoplastics and thermosets. Polymer surfaces pose special challenges regarding adhesion.
  • What is adhesion in polymer coatings?
  • Adhesion, as a multi-disciplinary topic, is related to the interatomic and intermolecular interactions present at the interface of two surfaces. 1 In polymeric coatings, the adhesion deals with several concepts such as thermodynamics, surface chemistry and physics, polymer chemistry and physics, rheology, and mechanical properties.
  • Why is adhesion promotion important to a polymer surface?
  • The need for adhesion promotion to a polymer surface is predicated on the need for surface protection or for improving aesthetic appearance and on the surface energy and the type of coating desired to be applied onto said polymer surface. Techniques to enhance surface energy and adhesion are reviewed along with relative performance of applications.
  • How to increase adhesion to plastic?
  • Table III. The most commonly used method for increasing adhesion to plastic is surface preparation/ treatment. Surface treatments can be used to activate the surface of the substrate to increase its surface energy. This will allow for improved wetting of the surface by the primer coating.
