AKEMI® Plastic Adhesion Promoter Spray is a 1-component product which contains solvents and special adhesion promoting agents. The aerosol propellants are free of CFC. The product is characterized by the following properties:
- - easy to apply
- - fast drying
- - highly effective
AKEMI® Plastic Adhesion Promoter considerably improves the adhesion of spray paints to parts made of unplasticized (rigid) plastic, i.e.
EPDM: - modified polypropylene rubber
PP-EPDM: - modified polyproplylene rubber with specified degree
of hardness
ABS: - acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene plastic
PC: - polycarbonate plastic
GRP: - glass-fibre reinforced plastic
This product, however, is not effective if applied to plastics such as polyurethane (plasticized and unplasticized) and plasticized PVC. It is mostly used in the car sector for plastic parts such as spoilers, bumpers, side aprons, side view mirrors etc. It is also used in the D.I.Y. and hobby sectors, e.g. for painting furniture made of rigid plastic.
