    Adhesion promoters

    An adhesion promoter is used to ensure the adhesion between the applied coating and the surface it is applied to. It has a positive influence on durability and effectiveness of the coating by ensuring better adherence, particularly on challenging surfaces like plastics, metals and/or old paints. Adhesion promoters can be used as additive in formulations or can be applied as a primer, making them essential for achieving long-lasting and reliable systems in various applications.
