Enhancing Paint Adhesion: Sustainable Solutions for Metal Surface Treatment

June 26, 2025 |

This webinar will explore how to enhance performance across substrates like aluminum (Al), hot dip galvanized steel (HDG), cold-rolled steel (CRS) and multimetal surfaces, offering a sustainable path forward.

Facing strict regulatory standards and growing demands for sustainability, the metal treatment segment needs innovative solutions that guarantee excellent paint adhesion and corrosion resistance while relying on less toxic chemicals. Organic boosters stand out as a versatile additive that meets these challenges, compatible with various inorganic chassis such as zirconium (Zr), titanium (Ti) and trivalent chromium (Cr III).


This webinar will explore how to enhance performance across substrates like aluminum (Al), hot dip galvanized steel (HDG) and cold-rolled steel (CRS), offering a sustainable path forward.

Agenda: 

  • Navigating current regulations and the need for eco-friendly solutions
  • Why Addibond improves paint adhesion and corrosion resistance across different substrates
  • Examples of organic boosters’ application and effectiveness in different metal surfaces and industries
