- CASE Ingredients Functions
- Adhesion PromoterCoupling Agent
ADDITOL® VXL 4950 is a specialized adhesion-promoting primer formulated for plastics, specifically designed for application as a pre-treatment primer. It is crucial to note that ADDITOL® VXL 4950 is not intended for use as an additive in paints. With a focus on marine coatings, this primer enhances adhesion when applied before the coating process. Its application methods include brush, roller, and spray, ensuring versatility in different coating scenarios. The appearance of ADDITOL® VXL 4950 is clear, contributing to its suitability for various plastic substrates in marine coating applications.

- Processing Information
Before application Additol VXL 4950 must be diluted with toluene or xylene, mixing ratio 1 : 8 (Additol VXL 4950 : toluene or xylene). Additol VXL 4950 should be applied in form of a thin coating by spraying process, roller coating or brushing. After a five minutes flash-off time the film can be treated by UV-irradiation or can be overcoated directly with any other paint system. Additol VXL 4950 must be applied as pre-treatment primer and cannot be used as additive in paints.
- Special Properties and Uses
Without special pre-treatment of plastic materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polyamide (e.g. corona discharge, roughening, flame or chromic acid treatment) good adhesion of coatings can be obtained after applying a thin adhesion promoting layer of Additol VXL 4950 to the surfaces. For plastic substrates made of polyethylene a short period of additional UV-irradiation of this film is recommendable. In general irradiation of Additol VXL 4950-coatings can further improve adhesion.
