Adhesion Promoters Product Selection Guide

UV CURE APPLICATIONS
CN-704 CN-704 is an acrylated polyester adhesion promoter that provides excellent adhesion to polyolefins, such as polyethylene and polypropylene. CN-704 is designed for UV/ EB cured inks and coatings. Due to its low acid value, CN704 can be used in formulations containing tertiary amines. Usage levels of 40-60% are recommended. SR-9008 SR-9008 is an alkoxylated difunctional monomer developed to assist adhesion of UV/EB cured inks and coatings to glass surfaces. It is also an excellent choice for OPV applications. SR-9008 features good weatherability and impact strength. Usage levels of 5-10% are recommended. SR-9012 SR-9012 is a trifunctional acrylate monomer that assists adhesion of UV/EB cured inks and coatings to plastics, metal, and glass. Recommended usage levels are 5-10%. SR-9016 SR-9016 is a metallic diacrylate adhesion promoter for UV/EB cure applications. SR-9016 is water soluble up to 20 wt.%. This product promotes adhesion to metals, including steel, tin-free steel, brass, and aluminum. Usage levels up to 5% are recommended.

CD-9050 CD-9050 is a monofunctional acid ester that promotes adhesion to metals, including aluminum, brass, steel, and tin-free steel. CD-9050 is an excellent choice for low shrinkage. Due to its high acid value, this product is not recommended for use in formulations containing tertiary amines. Usage levels of 3% to 12% are recommended. CD-9051 CD-9051 is a trifunctional version of CD-9050. CD9051 offers the same adhesion promoting properties as CD-9050. However, due to its trifunctionality, CD9051 provides faster cure response, greater hardness, and good water resistance. As with CD-9050, CD-9051 is not recommended for use in formulations containing tertiary amines. Usage levels of 3% to 12% by weight are recommended. CD-9052 CD-9052 is a trifunctional acid ester adhesion promoter for UV/EB inks and coatings that offers exceptional cure speed. CD-9052 assists adhesion to difficult substrates, such as plastics, metals, and glass. CD-9052 is not recommended for use in formulations containing tertiary amines. Usage levels of 3-12% are recommended.

PEROXIDE CURE APPLICATIONS

SR-633 SR-633 is a metallic diacrylate monomer, developed to assist rubber-to-metal adhesion in peroxide cure applications. Recommended use levels are 4-10%.

SR-634 SR-634 is a methacrylate version of SR-633. SR-634 features excellent hardness and tear strength. Usage levels of 4-10% are recommended. SR-705 SR-705 is a metallic diacrylate monomer that assists adhesion to metals and plastics in peroxide cure applications. SR-705 is water-soluble and features fast cure response. Usage levels of 4-10% are recommended. SR-706 SR-706 is a modified metallic diacrylate monomer with similar adhesion promoting properties to SR-705. However, SR-706 offers faster cure response. Usage levels of 4-10% are recommended.

SR-708 SR-708 is a metallic dimethacrylate monomer developed to assist adhesion to metals and plastics in peroxide cure applications. SR-708 features excellent hot tear strength. Usage levels of 4-10% are recommended. SR-709 SR-709 is a metallic monomethacrylate monomer that assists adhesion to metals and plastics in peroxide cure applications. SR-709 features good tear strength. Recommended usage levels are 4-10%. SR-9009 SR-9009 is a trifunctional methacrylate ester developed to assist adhesion to metals and plastics in peroxide cure applications. SR-9009 features exceptionally fast cure response. Usage levels of 5-10% are recommended.
