- Application
(1) Adhesives: Recommended for most acrylic and similar latex emulsion based adhesives, and water-borne epoxy/ urethane to enhance adhesion to metals, concrete, elastomers, ceramics and plastics (except untreated PP/ PE). Increased T-peel strength. Improved resistance to moisture, heat and corrosive environments.
(2) Coatings & Inks: Recommended for all water-borne coatings having a pH of 5 -11; including coatings formulated with acrylic/ styrenated acrylic latex emulsions, and water-borne polymer dispersions of alkyds, epoxies, urethanes and others.
- Will improve adhesion to all metals, improve salt fog resistance, reduce creep at the scribe, and reduce blistering
- Will improve adhesion to plastic films, ie treated PP/ PE and mylar
- Also, improved adhesion to many plastics, concrete, rubber, wood and ceramics

Technical Details & Test Data
- Comment
- For PUD, acrylic
- Procedure
Coatings/ Inks/ Adhesives (WB): Fully compatible with coatings/ inks/ adhesives having a pH of 5 -11. May be added directly to latex or polymer dispersion or post added in many cases. No special mixing or dilution required.
- Recommended use level is 0.35 - 1.4 wt% based upon polymer solids + organic pigment weight + anti-corrosive pigment weight.
