Adhesion Promoters - A Technology Indispensable to Formulation
Used in a wide variety of applications in the paint industry, adhesion promo-
ters impart important properties to paints and coatings, such as improved
adhesion and strength, which makes them essential to any formulation.
The evolution in the Brazilian market for adhesion promoters keeps pace
with the paint industry, where technologies improve, while requirements for
quality and protection on several substrates increase, making these additives
an increasingly essential requirement for any formulations. Since there are
several substrates to which paints and coatings do not adhere easily, only
adhesion promoters can solve the problem, hence the more and more rapidly
growing consumption of this type of additive.
The importance of adhesion promoters presents itself at the application of
finishing paints, when it will demonstrate the quality of the products to
which they are applied and secure end customer satisfaction. In the automo-
tive industry, for example, there is a sharply growing demand for adhesion
promoters due to the replacement of materials like metal and wood with
reinforced plastics and modified polymers. In anticorrosion and protective
