Methods of applying cleaning solvent with titanate adhesion promoter to polymeric substrates
First Claim
1. A method of treating a polymeric substrate surface, comprising:
- combining a cleaning agent with an adhesion promoter to form a reactivation solution, the adhesion promoter including a titanate compound, and the cleaning agent comprises Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Toluene, Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), and Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK); and
simultaneously cleaning and reactivating the polymeric substrate for adhesion to another material by applying the reactivation solution.

Abstract
Methods of applying and combining cleaning solvent with titanate adhesion promoter to a polymeric substrate are disclosed. In one embodiment, method of applying the solvent mixture includes providing a polymeric substrate to be treated. The polymeric substrate is treated with the reactivation solution comprising a cleaning agent and a titanate adhesion promoter. The reactivation solution is applied to the polymeric substrate and allowed to treat the polymeric substrate by simultaneously cleaning and promoting adhesion, reactivating the surface in preparation for adhesion between the substrate and another material. Finally, another material is applied to the treated polymeric substrate and the method is repeated, if desired. Embodiments of the invention provide the desired production and labor efficiency, while further addressing the risk to personnel in treating a variety of polymeric substrates.
