Anvil launches new bonding primer

Anvil 1750 High Performance
Water Borne Grip-Tite Bonding Primer

Anvil Paints & Coatings has introduced a new bonding primer, Anvil 1750 High Performance Water Borne Grip-Tite Bonding Primer, which penetrates into concrete and forms a surface that improves the adhesion, workability and durability of the topcoat. The new primer can be used on interior or exterior, painted or unpainted concrete, masonry, stucco, CMU block and porous brick surfaces whether vertical or horizontal. Anvil 1750 is also ideal as a touch up primer.

Once the surface is primed with Anvil 1750, the decorative concrete contractor or homeowner can also use Anvil 1700 High Performance Epoxy Show Coat to provide a durable satin finish resistant to chemicals, oil, gasoline, fading and hot tire pick-up. For the finishing touch, Anvil’s Wet Look 2350 Super Clear Acrylic Sealer can be added for a super-gloss showroom finish.

SPECIALTY COATING SYSTEMS’ NEW ADHESION PROMOTION TECHNOLOGY Specialty Coating Systems (SCS) has introduced a new adhesion promotion technology—AdPro Plus—specifically developed to improve adhesion of parylene conformal coatings to various substrates. AdPro Plus increases adhesion between parylene coatings and various substrates. Strong adhesion of parylene is critical to enable the coating to provide maximum benefit to the application. Optimal adhesion of parylene to a wide variety of substrates, including metal, plastic, elastomer, glass and paper is commonly achieved by a treatment with A-174 silane prior to parylene coating. However, in some applications, materials remain to which parylene coatings may not achieve optimal adhesion. AdPro Plus is an adhesion promotion technique that improves adhesion of parylene coatings to mate-

rials such as titanium, stainless steel, gold, chromium, Santoprene, polyimide, polycarbonate and solder mask, to name a few. Additionally, AdPro Plus has demonstrated improved stability at elevated temperatures, making it a good adhesion promotion tool for harsh environment applications.

HIGH TEMP. NYLON FLASH TAPE FOR METAL AND COMPOSITE BONDING Scapa North America has introduced Scapa 815, a heat-resistant, non-sili-cone tape that withstands temperatures up to 350°F. This product is designed to mask and hold tools, forms and parts for metal and composite bonding, and for masking PCB contacts during conformal coating. Scapa 815 consists of a high temperature nylon backing, single coated with a rubber adhesive that eliminates the potential for silicone contamination. The 3.2 mil-liliter-thick tape is easy to apply and remove, and withstands autoclaving if necessary.
