The Challenge
Bonding of critical substrates is always a challenge for end-users. Thus, there is always a demand for better
adhesion properties on difficult to glue plastic substrates and in light weight construction. There is currently no
available solution to address this challenge of critical substrates adhesion.

The Solution
A new solution is available to enable adhesion on complex substrates mix. Indeed, with VPS SIVO 280, formulators
can develop adhesives and sealants with excellent adhesion on critical to stick plastics, especially to PMMA.
Moreover, VPS SIVO 280 can help to improve the strengths by higher elasticities in silicones, and it allows
formulating environmentally friendly adhesives/sealants.
This unique combination of performances enables:
Longer product lifecycle
Higher endurance to vibration, stress, temperature variation
The possibility to bond complex substrates to broaden the applications
› Enhanced adhesion performance: up to 2,8 times higher adhesion
With VPS SIVO 280, formulated in SMP-products or RTV-silicones, excellent adhesion on a wide variety of
substrates like metal and low energy plastic surfaces (e.g. PC, PVC) can be achieved.
As shown in the figure below, a STPU adhesive with VPS SIVO 280 exhibits outstanding adhesion on PMMA
compared to standard aminosilane:

› Enhanced mechanical performance: +60% elongation at break
Excellent adhesion and mechanical performance can be achieved in RTV-silicones formulations thanks to VPS
SIVO 280.
In oxime silicones, VPS SIVO 280 improves the mechanical properties positively, resulting in higher strengths
along with higher flexibilities. The tear strength is increased by 70% and the tensile strength by 50%:

› Formulate environmentally friendly adhesives/sealants: >75% VOC reduction
On top of these adhesion and mechanical performances, VPS SIVO 280 is a VOC-reduced (VOC reduction > 75 %,
compared to traditional aminosilanes), environmental friendly silane. VPS SIVO 280 is also a low volatile
adhesion promoter leading to a potential use in odor reduced hot melts.
