Albert Jagger offers a range of surface preparation solutions designed to enhance the durability and performance of any adhesive application.
KoraSolv is a specially formulated cleaner that removes dirt, dust, grease, and oils, leaving a clean, residue-free surface that’s ready for adhesion. It’s quick drying, non-invasive solution is ideal for use before applying Korapur adhesives.
KoraBond is a pre-treatment primer that plays a crucial role in the bonding process. Designed to help adhesives grip better and last longer, it creates a more receptive interface by forming a chemically compatible surface. This ‘new’ surface promotes stronger, more reliable bonds, particularly with challenging materials.
Whether you’re bonding metal, plastic, or coated materials, surface contamination can prevent a strong adhesive bond. To achieve optimal results, it’s essential to prepare the surface properly. Primers and cleaners are specifically formulated to maximise the performance and longevity of adhesive and are applied before the bonding process begins.
The first step is cleaning the surface. It must be free from contaminants such as dirt, dust, grease, oil, and anything else that could interfere with adhesion. This ensures the adhesive can bond directly with the material, not with residues that weaken performance.
Primers are chemical agents applied to substrates after cleaning. They work by altering the surface energy, which is especially important when bonding to difficult substrates. This process improves the adhesives’ ability to grip the surface, resulting in a stronger, more durable bond.
Why is this so important?
Adhesive don’t bond well to contaminated surfaces, and even the strongest adhesives can fail if the surface isn’t prepared properly. Reducing surface contaminants prevents interference with the adhesive, ensuring it performs effectively. A well-prepared surface improves bond strength, chemical resistance, and long-term reliability.
