Bumper & Cladding Coat™ Adhesion Primer Compatible Substrates
Compatible Substrates
Bumper & Cladding Coat™ Adhesion Primer is optimized for adhesion to TPO (TEO, PP blend) plastics. Bumper & Cladding Coat™ Adhesion Primer may be sprayed on TPO plastic surfaces without first sanding or scuffing the surface.
B&C Adhesion Primer is not recommended over other substrates such as raw polyurethane (PUR) or OEM painted bumpers. B&C Adhesion Primer may have adequate adhesion to these substrates as long as they are scuffed or sanded.
IMPORTANT NOTE: On painted plastics or raw PUR and Xenoy plastics, Bumper and Cladding Adhesion Primer offers no benefit over any other primer. It is formulated to adhere to raw, unsanded TPO and polypropylene plastics only
Compatible Topcoats
B&C Adhesion Primer may be topcoated with one of the approved base/clear refinishing systems listed here.
Additional Notes:
B&C Adhesion Primer is ready to spray, but it may be thinned if desired.
Original Formula ("Orange Label") B&C Adhesion Primer may be thinned with lacquer thinner (up to 5% by volume).
Low VOC ("Gray Label") B&C Adhesion Primer may be thinned with acetone (up to 5% by volume).
The highest quality control measures are taken during the production of Bumper and Cladding Coat. However, it is highly recommended a 25 micron filter be used to filter the paint immediately before use to achieve the cleanest finish.
Raw TPO Bumpers
B&C Adhesion Primer's resin system is optimized for adhesion to raw TPO plastic. Polyvance recommends the use of B&C Adhesion Primer only over raw TPO substrates, NOT polyurethane or OEM primed bumpers. To the best of our knowledge, all domestic manufacturers ship their bumpers with primer. The import manufacturers most likely to ship raw TPO bumpers are Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Hyundai, and Kia.
