Adhesion promoter is a type of chemical substance used to enhance the adhesion or bonding between two different materials. It is commonly used in various industries, including automotive, construction, electronics, and manufacturing.
The primary function of an adhesion promoter is to create a strong bond between a substrate (such as metal, plastic, or glass) and a coating or adhesive applied to it. It improves the surface characteristics of the substrate, allowing better wetting and adhesion of the subsequent material.
the use of adhesion promoters will not only alter physical and chemical forces at the interface, but also provide a “glue,” or compatibility bridge, to give a much greater level of adhesion. Additionally, adhesion promoters can impart resistance to environmental and other destructive forces, such as heat and moisture, which often act on the bonded site to destroy adhesive strength.
