Ori-Polar™ – Non-toxic adhesion promoters for improved PU bonding on plastics and glass

High-Performance Bonding for Plastic and Glass

Ori-Polar™ is an innovative range of adhesion promoters for PU bonding of plastics and glass. It offers a safer, more sustainable and cost-saving alternative to conventional primers. By generating chemical functional groups on the surface, Ori-Polar™ increases material compatibility with adhesives and ensures stronger, more reliable bonding. The range includes tailored solutions for different substrates such as plastics (PPA/PBT/ABS/PC), e-coated metal and glass, providing flexibility for a wide variety of applications.

Toxic-free alternative to primers

Ori-Polar™ represents a disruptive technology offering a range of adhesion promoters as an alternative to traditional primers. By replacing toxic primers with these innovative, non-toxic solutions, Ori-Polar™ not only enhances adhesion performance but also outperforms the bonding strength of conventional primers. It addresses the environmental and health concerns associated with carcinogenic substances, enabling manufacturers to meet sustainability goals while ensuring superior bonding strength and process safety.

What is Ori-Polar™ adhesion promoter?

Ori-Polar™ is a range of advanced and toxic-free adhesion promoters designed to improve the bonding between plastic, epoxy-coated metal, or glass surfaces and polyurethane (PU) liquid adhesives. There are different solutions available depending on the material to be coated and the specific process used. This solution works by introducing chemical functional groups that enhance the material’s compatibility with the adhesive, allowing the PU adhesive to better wet and adhere to the surface. The result is a stronger, more durable bond between the substrate and the adhesive.

Ori-Polar™ adhesion promoters are specifically 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, such as Ori-Tape™, to further improve adhesion. While it is not always necessary, as SBT adhesives typically have strong adhesion properties on their own, Ori-Polar™ can still provide additional bonding strength when required.
Once Ori-Polar™ is applied to plastic parts or glass surfaces, the coated components can be stored for up to one year before bonding with PU adhesive. This extended shelf life provides significant advantages over traditional primers, which typically require application shortly before the bonding process. By offering the flexibility of longer storage times, Ori-Polar™ allows for more efficient inventory management, reduces the pressure for immediate bonding, and enables cost savings. This makes it a more versatile and practical solution, especially for manufacturers looking to streamline their production schedules and shipping logistics.

OPL 21, OPM 11, and OPL 26 are specialized formulations of Ori-Polar™ adhesion promoters, each designed for different materials and processes to optimize adhesion performance.

OPL 21: This treatment involves spraying the adhesion promoter onto the plastic or e-coated part, followed by UV curing. It can be applied directly after part manufacturing at our facilities. OPL 21 is ideal for plastic parts that require enhanced bonding properties before applying PU adhesives, providing a strong and durable bond.

OPM 11: An innovative, patent-pending solution, OPM 11 is applied directly in-mold during the plastic injection process. It requires no additional curing, making it a highly efficient solution that streamlines production by eliminating extra steps. This solution is perfect for plastic parts that need enhanced adhesion without post-manufacturing processes.

OPL 26: Similar to OPL 21, OPL 26 involves spraying the adhesion promoter, but it is specifically applied to the glass side of the component, followed by UV curing. This solution is designed to optimize the bonding between glass surfaces and PU adhesives, providing excellent adhesion properties for glass components.

Each product is tailored to meet the unique requirements of the material being treated and the production process, ensuring optimal adhesion and efficiency for a range of applications.

Ori-Polar™ offers several key advantages over traditional, toxic primers, making it a more efficient and safer solution for enhancing adhesion:

Non-toxic: Unlike conventional primers, Ori-Polar™ is free from carcinogenic isocyanates, ensuring a safer working environment. Additionally, the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is not required when using Ori-Polar™, unlike with traditional primers, which pose health risks to workers.

Long storage life: Parts treated with Ori-Polar™ can be stored for up to one year before bonding with PU adhesive. In contrast, traditional primers must be applied immediately before PU adhesive application, limiting flexibility in production scheduling.

Simplified process: Ori-Polar™ treatments like OPL 21 and OPM 11 can be applied directly at Oribay Group manufacturing facilities, whereas traditional primers require application at the auto glass factory, adding complexity and time to the process.

In-mold application: OPM 11 is applied directly during the plastic injection molding process, offering an innovative in-mold solution that enhances manufacturing efficiency and eliminates the need for additional steps like post-treatment curing.

Overall, Ori-Polar™ simplifies the adhesion process while offering a safer, more flexible, and more efficient alternative to traditional primers.
