Dynabond 500: A Breakthrough in Adhesion Technology
Dynabond 500 stands out as a high-performance adhesion coating engineered to resolve one of the most persistent challenges in the automotive plastics industry—bonding coatings and paints to low-surface-energy substrates. Traditional coatings struggle to adhere to materials like TPO and polypropylene due to their inherent chemical resistance and non-polar surfaces.
Dynabond 500 delivers a powerful solution with benefits such as:
- Exceptional adhesion to TPO, PP, and other engineered plastics
- Strong primer characteristics that improve topcoat durability
- Fast-drying and production-friendly application properties
- Resistance to peeling, chipping, and environmental exposure
- Superior film formation for long-term stability
This advanced adhesion coating is widely used by automotive suppliers who demand reliability, consistency, and high-level performance from their coating systems.
Adhesion Promoter for TPO Substrates
Thermoplastic olefin (TPO) is one of the most widely used materials in modern automobile manufacturing. While its light weight and impact resistance are significant advantages, its low surface energy makes adhesion extremely difficult. This increases the need for specialized adhesion-promoter solutions.
Durafine’s adhesion promoter for TPO substrates is formulated to overcome these challenges by enhancing surface receptivity. Its benefits include:
- Strong wetting properties that prepare low-energy surfaces
- Improved bonding for both waterborne and solvent-based topcoats
- Enhanced durability under UV exposure, heat, and abrasion
- Process compatibility with automotive-grade production cycles
- Stable performance even in demanding exterior applications
Whether used on bumper fascias, trim components, interior panels, or molded decorative parts, Durafine’s adhesion promoter ensures a strong foundation for further coating layers, improving both appearance and long-term performance.
Soft-Touch Coating for Automotive Plastics
As consumers demand more refined and comfortable automobile interiors, soft-touch surfaces have become an essential design element. Soft-touch coatings provide a premium tactile feel, reduce gloss, and enhance the perceived quality of interior components such as dashboards, center consoles, door panels, and switches.
Durafine’s soft-touch coating for automotive plastics is engineered to help manufacturers achieve:
- High-quality matte or velvet-like finishes
- Scratch, abrasion, and chemical resistance
- Improved tactile comfort and premium feel
- Stability under UV light, heat cycles, and daily wear
- Compatibility with complex interior part geometries
Soft-touch coatings not only elevate visual appeal but also contribute to a more pleasant driving experience. Durafine’s formulations maintain consistent texture and color over time, ensuring that automotive interiors continue to look and feel premium throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle.
Engineering Expertise That Drives Performance
Durafine’s strength lies in its combination of advanced chemistry, hands-on industry understanding, and rigorous testing protocols. Each formulation undergoes detailed evaluation to ensure it meets or exceeds automotive and industrial standards.
Their R&D approach focuses on:
- Surface behavior analysis for engineered plastics
- Polymer compatibility and adhesion science
- Resistance to heat, humidity, and chemical exposure
- Finish quality, texture consistency, and application ease
- Compliance with global environmental and safety standards
This emphasis on scientific precision ensures that manufacturers receive coatings that perform consistently, even in high-stress environments.
