Product Description
Adhesion promoters are typically clear to pale-yellow liquids, aerosols, or powders. They are soluble in organic solvents (e.g., isopropyl alcohol, acetone) but insoluble in water. Non-corrosive and pH-neutral (6–8), these compounds feature bifunctional groups that chemically bridge substrates and adhesives. They exhibit low volatility, thermal stability up to 200°C, and excellent resistance to moisture and UV degradation.
