    Primer systems and olefins

    Posted this in the adhesives group, but thought the polymer folks might have some ideas. Currently using a silane-based primer system (with alkoxy and amine reactivity). In general it works great in bonding polyester materials to polyolefins (like EVA, EMA, EEA, etc.). Though strangely a good...

    Primer systems and olefins

    Currently using a silane-based primer system (with alkoxy and amine reactivity). In general it works great in bonding polyester materials to polyolefins (like EVA, EMA, EEA, etc.). Though strangely a good bond is not obtained when using any EAA resins. It is understandable why LDPE would not...

    Advanced Adhesion - PDMS

    I'm looking to adhere to a substrate which has a thin layer of fuser oil (poly dimethyl siloxane). You can imagine that bonding to a silicone oil is a nightmare - but due to process condition restrictions it cannot simply be removed. Is there an extrusion resin that may be laid down, and...

    Advanced Adhesion - PDMS

    Hats off to anyone who can provide some leads on this tricky task - I'm looking to adhere to a substrate which has a thin layer of fuser oil (poly dimethyl siloxane). You can imagine that bonding to a silicone oil is a nightmare - but due to process condition restrictions it cannot simply be...

    Polypropylene and Printing

    1) Does there exist a coating which will both bond to a cast polypropylene sheet and give it a higher 'paintable'/printable characteristic, while exhibiting at least a moderate flexibility? 2) Is there an effective additive or resin that can be added to the same polypropylene sheet material...

    Polypropylene Fillers

    I've been working with 20% talc filled polypropylene for moderately stiff printable materials. Is there a filler or compounded resin available that will grant a notably stiffer extruded product (without sacrificing tear and crack resistance)? Additionally, are there any suggestions for...
