A Paint Adhesion Promoter for the Coatings Market
Adhesion refers to the attraction between two dissimilar surfaces, such as a painted layer and the underlying metal substrate. In coatings, adhesion is crucial for ensuring paint adheres to a surface and performs effectively over time.
Unlock superior adhesion on metal substrates with Addibond™ 106, a cutting-edge specialty additive designed to enhance both dry and wet adhesion in waterborne coatings. This adhesion-promoting additive offers excellent compatibility across a wide range of resin systems, and can be incorporated at any stage of the formulation process at a low dosage.
Addibond™ 106 specialty adhesion promoter is designed for waterborne DTM (Direct-To-Metal) coatings, paints, adhesives and inks. It improves dry and wet adhesion on ferrous and non-ferrous metallic substrates, such as galvanized steel and aluminum, ensuring strong bonds between the metal surface and subsequent coatings. Addibond™ 106 integrates seamlessly into formulations while supporting sustainability goals with its APE-free profile, Ecolabel compliance and low VOC composition.
Improved Bond Strength
When it comes to coating metals, achieving a strong bond between the surface and the top organic layer is critical. Addibond™ 106 answers the call. With its unique dual-functional polymer structure, one monomer anchors securely to the metal surface while the other reacts with the top organic layer (e.g., paint, adhesive), forming a long-lasting bonded layer. The technology ensures superior performance, improving adhesion even after seven days of drying at room temperature.
