Leather Adhesion Promotor
ADHESION PROMOTOR
- Extremely flexible
- Ideal for high use areas
- Greatly improves adhesion to leather and vinyl surfaces
- Once dried, the Adhesion Promoter becomes tacky so creates a better base for our Colourants to adhere to
Adhesion Promoter is a polyurethane liquid with extraordinary adhesive properties. Applied to leather or vinyl one step before the application of colourant, the product creates a flexible coating that binds to the leather surface. When the colourant is then applied, it sticks to the layer of Adhesion Promoter, rather than the leather.
The adhesive properties of the promoter are much greater than that of the Colourant, so applying it first, will create a better bond to the leathers surface than the Colourant would have on its own. In addition to helping adhere to the leather better, the Adhesion Promoter will also start to bind with the Colourant creating a permanent merged layer, rather than one sitting on top of the other.
Adhesion Promoter is Suitable For
Adhesion Promoter is ideal for use on all restoration jobs, especially those where the leather is heavily creased. Creases naturally occur as the leather is used, in these creased areas there tends to be a lot of stress and flex to the surface. The Adhesion Promoter helps in these high wear areas, preventing the new coatings from deteriorating, therefore extending the leathers life.
The Adhesion Promoter should also be used on leather that you expect might be problematic, such as areas where grease/oil has been removed. The product will help the Colourant stick better, reducing chances of the grease coming back through and affecting the colour.
It should also be applied to areas where the piping is raised out as this leather is easily knocked and abraded with use. Applying Adhesion Promoter onto these raised areas will increase the lifetime of a repair; areas such as car seat bolsters.
