Cushion Coatings & Primers

Primers help increase the coating hardness, water resistance, and adhesion of other coatings. On certain substrates, a primer can function as a ‘cushion coating’, improving the impact resistance of many types of plastic.

We offer:
  • Cushion Coating Primer, Water Based
  • Reactive Air Dry Primer Concentrates, Solvent Based
  • Adhesion Promoting Thermoplastic Primer, Solvent Based
  • The one of a kind water based ‘cushion coating’ primer, Prime Klear™ 158, is especially designed for creating a foundation for our Hardcoatings on modern ophthalmic lenses. These optical plastics are very thin and brittle, requiring special primer and hardcoat treatments to prepare them for anti reflective metallization processes. Features include:

  • Water based solutions
  • Preserves optical quality
  • Adheres to all ophthalmic lens materials
  • Perfect for use in anti reflective lens metallization processes
