Adhesion promoters form a very important group of additives, without which many industrial products (29 product groups made out of 30 different polymeric materials) cannot perform according to requirements. The previous publication on this subject was mostly related to silanes, which formed the most widely used group of these additives. The information on silanes was based on the book that was published at the beginning of the 1980s. Since then, many new additives were introduced into the market. Many of these new additives are not based on silanes but on one of 37 chemical groups of chemical compounds needed for a variety of products in which silanes do not function, are too expensive, or better performance can be achieved with these new additives, some of which are environmentally friendly and come from renewable resources.


The last five years, since the first edition of Databook, had a significant impact on sourcing and selection of adhesion promoters for different tasks. Due to the merges and acquisitions, many additives are no longer in use. Because of scientific developments, more products are based on renewable resources and are selected from less toxic origins. Also, there is a clear tendency to limit the scope of application, which provides many products designed for specialized, frequently single product applications. This is well seen from the comparison of the 1st and the 2nd editions.


The information provided is organized into five groups of data which are discussed below in detail. The data are presented in tabular form, easy to find and compare.


In the General information section, the following data are displayed: name, CAS #, EC #, Acronym, Active matter, Chemical category, Common name, Common synonym, Components, Complexed organics, Empirical formula, Functional organic group, General description, Molecular mass, Mixture, Metal content, Number of metals, Organoreactive group, RTECS number, Solids content.


Physical-chemical properties section contains data on State, Odor, Color, Boiling point, Melting point, Density, Diluents, Neutralizing agent, pH, Refractive index, Sulfur content, Surface tension, Solubility in water, Specific gravity, Specific heat, Specific surface area, Thermal decomposition product, Vapor density, Vapor pressure, Viscosity, and Volatility.


Health and safety section contains data on Flash point, Flash point method, Autoignition temperature, NFPA Health, NFPA Flammability, NFPA Reactivity, HMIS Health, HMIS Fire, HMIS Reactivity, HMIS Personal protection, UN number, UN Risk Phrases, R, UN Safety Phrases, S, DOT Hazard Class, UN/NA hazard class, UN packaging group, ICAO/IATA Class, IMDG Class, Proper shipping name, Rat oral LD50, Mouse oral LD50, Rabbit dermal LD50, Inhalation rat LC50, Route of entry, Skin irritation, Eye irritation, Ingestion, Inhalation, First aid: eyes, skin, and inhalation, Carcinogenicity by ACGIH, IARC, NTP, and OSHA, Mutagenicity, and TLV - TWA 8h (ACGIH, NIOSH, OSHA)


Ecological properties section contains data on Atmospheric lifetime, Biodegradation probability, Aquatic toxicity LC50 (Green algae, Rainbow trout, Bluegill sunfish, Fathead minnow, Zebrafish, and Daphnia magna), Bioaccumulative potential, Bioconcentration factor, Biodegradation probability, BOD/COD ratio, Biological oxygen demand, Chemical oxygen demand, Theoretical oxygen demand, Partition coefficient (log Kow and log Pow) and Stability in water.


Use & performance section contains information on Manufacturer, Outstanding properties,  Recommended for polymers, Recommended for products, Recommended applications, Processing methods, Concentration used, Guidelines for use, Food approval, Alternative products, and Conditions to avoid.

The above data are given, whenever available, for more than 400 most important adhesion promoters produced and used today. This book is best used together with the Handbook of Adhesion Promoters, which contains an analysis of scientific and patent literature available on the subject today. Both books are complementary and form the most comprehensive, actual, and accurate information on the subject of adhesion promoters.

The book is recommended for readers interested in all aspects of polymers and plastics, with special attention to the development, studies, legislation, and production of coatings, paints, adhesives, sealants, coated fabrics, laminates, conveyor belts, films, inks, tapes, gaskets, electronics, pharmaceuticals,  corrosion protection, and many other products.

This Databook provides a detailed, balanced view of the entire international adhesion promoters market and, more importantly, identifies the key trends that might help in developing a new business strategy.

Databook of Adhesion Promoters is a comprehensive study of various adhesion promoters. It enlightens leaders in the industry about what new technology can do for different segments of business and offers a detailed view of their current performance in different regions across the globe.
