Our Technologies

Photoactivated surface reactions

Our patented technologies are all based on controlled photo-activation—using light energy to create covalent bonds directly between coatings and difficult substrates. When UV photons of the right wavelength reach the surface, they activate specific molecules in our primer or surface activator systems together with reactive groups on the substrate itself. This triggers instant surface modification and chemical bonding, forming a durable, covalently anchored interface. This scientifically precise approach to adhesion makes our products both robust and simple to use—they do not rely on delicate surface-energy matching or expensive functional oligomers, but on well-defined, repeatable photochemical reactions that deliver consistent results across a wide range of substrates. In Duoprime®, a photo-activated complex forms on melamine surfaces, enabling direct bonding of UV-curable coatings with perfect adhesion in a single step. For other substrate materials different photo-chemistry takes place: distinct activator molecules react with the substrate under UV light of certain wavelengths, triggering a surface reaction, to achieve the same instant and permanent adhesion.
