Permabond CAPOP000004Z4101, Pop Primer, 4 Ounce Aluminum Bottle W-Pump Sprayer, Case of 6
Permabond POP Polyolefin Primer, 4 oz Aluminum Bottle with Pump Sprayer, Case of 6 (CAPOP000004Z4101)
Permabond POP Polyolefin Primer is a surface treatment primer developed for polyolefins, PTFE, and silicones prior to bonding with Permabond cyanoacrylate adhesives. Low surface energy plastics such as PTFE, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and silicones are notoriously difficult to bond without special surface treatment. After treatment with Permabond POP Primer, durable bonds stronger than the substrate material itself can be achieved with cyanoacrylate adhesives.

Key Features
- Enables bonding of low surface energy plastics — treats PTFE, PP, PE, and silicone surfaces that are otherwise difficult or impossible to bond with standard adhesives
- Bonds stronger than the substrate — after treatment, cyanoacrylate bonds can exceed the strength of the substrate material itself
- Pump sprayer applicator — 4 oz aluminum bottle with pump sprayer for controlled, even application
- Works with Permabond cyanoacrylates — designed specifically for use with Permabond CA adhesive product line
Ideal Applications
- Bonding PTFE (Teflon) components with cyanoacrylate adhesives
- Bonding polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) parts in assembly operations
- Surface treatment of silicone components prior to CA bonding
- Any application requiring adhesion to low surface energy plastics
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a polyolefin primer and why is it needed?
Polyolefins (polypropylene, polyethylene) and other low surface energy materials like PTFE and silicone have surfaces that repel most adhesives, making standard bonding methods ineffective. A polyolefin primer chemically modifies the surface to increase its surface energy, allowing cyanoacrylate adhesives to wet out and form a strong, durable bond.
Which Permabond adhesives work with POP Primer?
POP Primer is designed for use with Permabond cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesives. Consult the TDS or contact Permabond for specific CA product recommendations based on your substrate and application requirements.
How is POP Primer applied?
Apply POP Primer to the substrate surface using the included pump sprayer. Allow the primer to dry before applying the cyanoacrylate adhesive. Refer to the Technical Data Sheet for specific application instructions, dry times, and coverage rates.
Can POP Primer be used on all plastics?
POP Primer is specifically formulated for low surface energy plastics including PTFE, polypropylene, polyethylene, and silicone. For other plastic types, standard surface preparation or a different primer may be more appropriate. Always test on your specific substrate before production use.
