Surface Treatment Agent - A Solution to Increase Adhesion for Industrial Adhesives
What Is a Surface Treatment Agent?
- A surface treatment agent is a specialized additive used before applying adhesive to improve adhesion between the adhesive and the material. It is an important step in many industrial manufacturing sectors, especially footwear, handbags, furniture and products using hard-to-bond material surfaces.
- For materials such as TPR, TPU, rubber, PU or some engineering plastics, using a surface treatment agent increases the adhesive's bonding, limits peeling and improves finished product durability.
Why Use a Surface Treatment Agent?
- Not all materials bond well with adhesive from the start. Some surfaces are slippery, contain oil or have low surface energy, making it hard for adhesive to form a durable bond.
Using a surface treatment agent brings many benefits:
* Increases the adhesive's adhesion.
* Improves bond strength.
* Reduces the risk of peeling after use.
* Improves finished product quality.
* Supports stable, uniform production.
How It Works
- After being brushed onto the material surface, the treatment agent makes it easier for the adhesive layer to grip more firmly. As a result, the bond between the two surfaces is more effective than using adhesive alone.
This is why many footwear and furniture factories always treat the surface treatment step as an important part of the production process.
Which Materials Should Be Surface Treated
Surface treatment agents are usually used for:
* TPR shoe soles.
* TPU soles.
* Natural rubber.
* Synthetic rubber.
* PU.
* PVC.
* Some engineering plastics.
* Materials with hard-to-bond surfaces.
Applications in Production
The product is widely used in:
* Footwear manufacturing.
* Handbag processing.
* Leather wallet production.
* Furniture.
* Industrial materials production.
* Products that require high bond durability.
PU and PVC surface treatment agent helps increase surface adhesion
FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS OF THE SURFACE TREATMENT AGENT:
- Very common use, fast drying, used to treat PU and PVC surfaces. Suitable for production lines or manual work
- Mùi nhẹ , không màu, độ lỏng như nước.
- Helps the surface of the material to be bonded accept the adhesive more easily.
- Increases the bonding of the adhesive on hard-to-bond surfaces such as PU, PVC....
NOTES FOR USE:
- Use only on the correct materials: PU and PVC.
- For the best results, use PU adhesive for bonding.
- The surface material to be treated must be dry and clean. After brushing on this surface treatment agent, wait until it is completely dry before applying PU adhesive the adhesive. Drying time is about 2 to 5 minutes depending on how thick the coat is and the material.
- The tools used to brush on the surface treatment agent must be clean.
Instructions for Use
Step 1
Clean dust, grease and impurities from the material surface.
Step 2
Brush a thin, even coat of surface treatment agent on the area to be bonded.
Step 3
Let the treatment agent evaporate for the recommended time.
Step 4
Apply the adhesive on the treated surface.
Step 5
Press and bond following the proper technical process.
Are Surface Treatment Agent and Hardener the Same?
This is a question many customers ask.
Although both are additives supporting adhesives, the two products have completely different functions.
* The surface treatment agent is used before applying adhesive to improve the material's adhesion.
* The hardener is mixed directly into the adhesive to increase bond strength, heat resistance, water resistance and the stability of the adhesive line.
In many applications requiring high technical standards, businesses can combine both the surface treatment agent and the hardener to achieve optimal bonding.
Why Use a Surface Treatment Agent?
- Adding a surface treatment step helps businesses improve product quality, reduce defect rates and increase stability in production.
- For hard-to-bond materials, this is a solution chosen by many manufacturers to meet the market's increasingly high technical requirements.
Auxiliary Solutions for Industrial Adhesives
- Besides adhesive quality, using the right surface treatment agent and hardener will maximize bonding effectiveness, improve product lifespan and optimize the production process.
- This is a solution applied by many businesses in footwear, furniture and industrial materials to produce products with stable quality and high durability.
