Kevlar cord with Bondcoat adhesion promotion Kevlar cord with Bondcoat adhesion promotion Bondcoat™ Adhesion Enhancing Coating

CORE™ Vinyl Powder Coatings are dry blends of suspension PVC resins that are plasticized for flexibility. With multiple OEM approvals, the VBX Series provides ease of product acceptance and qualification with considerable design flexibility.

Glasforms™ Improved Adhesion Formulations Glasforms™ thermoset pultruded composites featuring improved adhesion resin formulations provide enhanced adhesive properties that enable exceptional bonding performance for end products. Pultrusions manufactured using these formulations can also enable the use of adhesives to replace mechanical fasteners, reducing complexity and improving fatigue performance. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Improves bonding performance of epoxy adhesives in installation of pultruded parts • Eliminates need for surface preparation with abrasion or removal of peel ply layer prior to application of adhesives • Reduces overall system costs by saving time and labor on secondary processes • Enables replacement of mechanical fasteners with epoxy adhesives for improved fatigue performance and reduced weight • Simplifies manufacturing processes and reduces part complexity PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Resin chemistry is optimized for process conditions, fiber adhesion, and end-use application of the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). Common resins include MDPE, HDPE, PVDF, PVC and Nylon.

However, an ongoing challenge, especially for high-end products with demanding aesthetic requirements, is to prevent adhesive residue when the protective film is removed. Versaflex™ CF 6668 low adhesion build-up TPE for protective film meets that need. The formulation delivers high initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and various other substrates, yet offers low adhesion build-up to reduce the risk of residue when peeling off film.
