Ori-Polar™ adhesion promoters can be applied to plastic, epoxy-coated metal, or glass surfaces to enhance its ability to bond with polyurethane (PU) liquid adhesives. This solution creates chemical functional groups, as well as increases its surface energy and polarity, in such a way that the PU adhesive can better wet and adhere to the surface. The result is a stronger and more durable bond between the substrate and adhesive.

Ori-Polar™ adhesion promoters are designed to enhance the compatibility of plastic, coated metal, and glass surfaces with PU liquid adhesives. However, they can also be used with structural bonding tapes like Ori-Tape™, but it is not always necessary as these types of SBT adhesives generally have strong adhesion properties on their own.

OPL21: This treatment involves spraying onto the plastic or e-coated part, followed by UV curing. It can be applied directly after part manufacturing in our facilities.

OPM11: An innovative, patent-pending solution applied directly in-mold during the plastic injection process of the part. It requires no curing.

OPL26: Similar to OPL21, this process involves spraying onto the glass side instead of the plastic part, followed by UV curing.

Compared to toxic primers, Ori-Polar™ offers the following key benefits that can simplify and improve the adhesion process:

Non-toxic: Ori-Polar™ does not contain carcinogenic isocyanates found in conventional primers and also the use of Individual Protective Equipment (IPE) is not required when using Ori-Polar™, unlike traditional primers.

Long storage life: Ori-Polar™ functionalized parts can be stored for up to one year before PU adhesive application, compared to traditional primers which need to be applied immediately before PU adhesive application.

Simplified process: OPL21 and OPM11 can be applied in the Oribay Group manufacturing plants, whereas traditional primers need to be applied in the auto glass factory.

In-mold application: OPM11 is applied directly during the plastic injection molding process, providing an innovative solution that can improve the efficiency of the manufacturing process.
