Handbook of Adhesion Promoters, Second Edition outlines known mechanisms, principles of use, and the applications of different groups of adhesion promoters, along with a discussion of the mechanisms that cause adhesion loss, such as corrosion, delamination, detachment, liquid penetration and peeling. Surface condition and treatment are also discussed, including different methods (cleaning, mechanical, plasma, microwave, flame, corona discharge, laser, UV, and chemical modification) for practical applications. Formulation of typical primers used in the application of adhesives, sealants, coatings, coil coatings, cosmetics, metal, optical devices, polymers and plastics are covered, with over 50 primer formulations provided.
In addition, a full chapter is dedicated to the subject of polymer modification for improved adhesion, a method frequently used instead of the addition of adhesion promoters. The book's final chapters contain information on available evaluation and selection of adhesion promoters that work with different polymers (29), products (28), and those that help to prevent corrosion.
- Provides detailed, essential data on adhesion promoters, including additives that are both widely used and recently introduced
- Covers critical aspects involved in the application of adhesion promoters
- Discusses mechanisms that result in adhesion loss, primer formulation, polymer modification for improved adhesion, and surface treatment methods
- Supports readers in the selection of adhesion promoters, including detailed information on adhesion promoter properties, applications and their potential
