PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is 3M™ Adhesion Promoter K500, and what does it do?
3M™ Adhesion Promoter K500 is a liquid primer used to improve the adhesion of 3M tapes to surfaces such as plastics, rubber, and painted surfaces. It creates stronger bonds between tape and substrate.
-
How big is each bottle of 3M™ Adhesion Promoter K500?
Each bottle contains 4 oz (118 mL) of the liquid adhesion promoter.
-
Can I buy more than one bottle at once?
Yes! If you need multiple bottles, we offer them in cases containing 24 bottles each. Don't hesitate to ask us for pricing options if you require large quantities or have any other questions about our products.
Versatile Adhesion Promoter for 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tapes in Automotive Applications
3M™ Adhesion Promoter K500 is a liquid promoter used for most EPDM, polypropylene, chlorinated rubbers, ABS, AES compounds and certain PET/PBT blends. However, since formulations and surface energies for these materials vary, each application should be verified through testing. 3M™ Adhesion Promoter K500 is a moisture cured system that is specifically formulated for use with 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tapes for automotive applications.
Preparing the Surface Before Application
Before applying the adhesion promoter, the bonding surface should be clean and dry. If the surface is contaminated, it should be cleaned with an untreated, lint-free cloth and 3M™ General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner (Part No. 08984) or 3M™ Prep Solvent 70 (low VOC cleaner, Part No. 08973). After cleaning, wipe the surface with another untreated, lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
Easy to Apply
To apply the adhesion promoter, use a felt tip applicator, pressurized flow gun, knurled roller or other similar type applicator. Apply a thin, uniform coating to the bonding surface using the minimum amount that will fully coat the surface. This is typically less than 0.002 inch thick. Allow the adhesion promoter to dry thoroughly before applying tape. Although this is usually accomplished in less than one minute, allowing 10 minutes yields the ultimate adhesion. For best results, apply tape within 30 minutes after application of primer. Be sure the primed surface remains free from contaminants prior to laminating the tape. For clean-up tasks, 3M Adhesion Promoter K500 can be removed with acetone solvent.
Required Equipment for Application
3M™ Adhesion Promoter K500 can be applied with a felt tip applicator, pressurized flow gun, knurled roller or other similar type applicator. Applicator heads should be cleaned or replaced regularly.
