New Adhesion Primer For PP & PE

Permabond LLC introduced Permabond Polyolefin Primer (POP), a clear, single component, air-drying coating that enables difficult-to-stick-to plastics and rubbers to be bonded with Permabond cyanoacrylate (Superglue) adhesives.

POP primer promotes adhesion to low energy surfaces such as polypropylene, polyethylene, PTFE and silicone. POP primer also behaves as an activator, accelerating cure speed, thereby promoting production efficiency. POP primer can be applied by brush, spray or by dipping.

By using POP primer, flame or plasma pre-treatment of plastics can be avoided prior to bonding with cyanoacry-late adhesives.

For quality control of processed components, areas coated with POP primer will fluoresce under low energy UV light (375nm). This provides an easy means of checking process quality. After treatment with POP primer, Permabond cyanoacrylate adhesives can produce durable bonds with strengths often exceeding those of the parent materials.
