Anti-Microbial Additives

ADHESIVES & SEALANTS

Specialty additives, adhesion promoters and functional fillers engineered for bond strength, wetting, air release, density control, reinforcement and long-term reliability.

Waterborne 1K / 2K Reactive Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Construction Sealants
Interface engineering

The bond is only as good as the interface.

Adhesive performance begins before cure: substrate energy, wetting, trapped air, filler packing and interfacial chemistry decide whether a formulation builds durable contact.

Geocon supports formulators across waterborne, solventborne and reactive systems with additive families that improve processability, control density and reinforce the cured network—without losing sight of compatibility and application method.

ADHESIVES & SEALANTS
Chemistry selector

Match the additive
to the binder.

The same additive can behave very differently across resin systems. Compatibility, cure interference and ageing must be checked in the complete formulation.

Acrylic / PVA / Latex

Wetting, defoaming, microbial protection, rheology and filler dispersion are key.

A practical selector for common formulation challenges. Verify that the chosen additive does not interfere with cure, adhesion or ageing.
Formulation challenge Geocon product route Primary contribution
Poor substrate wetting Wetting agents · fluorosurfactants · silanes Improved contact and spread on compatible low-energy or contaminated surfaces.
Weak interfacial adhesion Silane adhesion promoters · filler treatment Coupling between organic resin and inorganic or polar substrate.
Foam and entrained air FOAMSTAB silicone / silicone-free / mineral-oil defoamers Air release, lower porosity and improved coating or bead appearance.
High density 3M Hollow Glass Microspheres Weight reduction, higher volume yield and gap filling at controlled strength.
Shrinkage / dimensional control GEOSPHERES · mineral fillers · milled glass fibres Build, reduced resin demand and reinforcement in compatible systems.
Sag and bead profile Functional fillers · rheology support Controlled body, shape retention and vertical-surface application.
Hygienic joint requirement Antimicrobial additives Selected antimicrobial functionality subject to formulation validation.
Water / soil repellency Fluorosilanes · surface modifiers Lower surface energy and easier cleaning where compatible.

Formulation design

Design for application and service-not only initial bond strength.

A useful additive must survive mixing, application, cure and ageing. Screen it against the complete performance envelope.

Application Viscosity, bead profile, open time, sag and air release.
Cure Moisture sensitivity, catalyst interaction and through-cure.
Mechanical Peel, shear, tensile, elongation and movement capability.
Durability Water, UV, heat, chemicals, fatigue and substrate ageing.
Formulation design for application and service
TECHNICAL SELECTION

Start with the substrate pair and failure mode.

Binder & cure chemistry
Substrate surface energy
Mixing shear & sequence
Application temperature
Joint movement / bond load
Ageing & exposure conditions

Recommended starting levels and addition methods must be established for the selected grade and verified in the complete formulation.

Bring us the formulation,
substrate and failure mode.

Our team can help shortlist additive chemistry, define a dosage ladder and structure comparative tests before production evaluation.
