Overview

Built for the job.

Body-Tecยฎ Attachment Tape Adhesion Promoter is specifically formulated for use with TRANSTARยฎ Attachment Tape. It is a liquid primer used for enhancing adhesion of most low surface energy plastics (TPO, PPO, PP, PC, etc.) as well as injection molded body side moldings and claddings used for automotive exterior trims.โ€ฆ

TRANSTARยฎ 4516 Adhesion Promoter is a 4-oz formulation designed to improve tape adhesion on plastic and primer surfaces before coating or clear coat application.

The promoter dries to touch in approximately 5 minutes, allowing rapid workflow while maintaining low VOC emissions at 6.88 lb/gal (824 g/L). It is compatible with a range of substrates including plastics and primed metal, providing consistent bonding without additional primers.

Use requires standard PPE: eye protection, chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator in well-ventilated areas. The product carries a "Warning" signal word and includes H-statements for flammability, toxicity, and carcinogenicity; follow the SDS for first-aid procedures.
