An adhesion promoter is a substance or chemical compound that is used to enhance the bonding between two surfaces. It works by providing a reactive surface for the adhesive material to attach to, thereby increasing the strength and durability of the bond.

Adhesion promoters are commonly used in industries that require strong bonds, such as the aerospace, automotive, defense and pharmaceutical industries. In these industries, adhesion promoters are used to improve the adhesion of coatings, paints, sealants and adhesives to surfaces that are difficult to bond, such as plastic, rubber and metal.

The most common types of adhesion promoters are silanes and titanates. Silanes are used to bond organic materials to inorganic surfaces, while titanates are used to bond inorganic materials to inorganic surfaces. Adhesion promoters are available in many different forms, including primers, sprays, wipes and liquids.

Using an adhesion promoter can greatly improve the performance and longevity of a bond. It can also help reduce the amount of adhesive material needed, which can lead to cost savings. However, it is important to choose the right adhesion promoter for the specific application and to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully the ensure the best results.
