Paint Bonding Agent Additives
BioPowder.com offers an innovative range of biological bonding powder additives for paint bonding agent applications. Either in a natural or hydrophobic form, our Olea FP (Functional Powders) are 100% made from top-grade olive stones – a sustainable side stream material.
Bonding agents are mainly resins, e.g. epoxies, that facilitate adherence of a coating to a surface material. In practice, primers are often applied to a surface to enhance adhesion of the subsequently applied paint.
The low-density particles of BioPowder.com Olea FP can easily migrate on the surface and create an optimised adhesive particle flow. Customisable micron sizes in the fine range can also improve binding power and adhesion, especially in solvent-free formulations.
Adhesive Applications: Enhanced Bonding and Texture
Manufacturers of adhesive additives rely on our biodegradable powders to create material mixes with excellent bonding capacity. For example, our additives can be used to create bonding paint that can be applied directly to any surface, without the need for prior sanding or application of a primer. Besides, foundations and undercoatings can be improved while boosting the bio-based percentage of their components.
In the past years, the demand for ecological glues has grown impressively: consumers are becoming aware of potentially harmful effects of synthetic glues, especially when used in their immediate environment. Hence, there is a clear buying preference for adhesives with minimal solvents, volatile organic compounds, or other chemicals. Our range of Olea FP helps formulators solve the challenge of creating an effective bonding agent for paint with plant-based additives!
At one glance: BioPowder.com powders are effective additives for
- epoxy and polyurethane adhesives
- lightweight craft glues
- adhesive strips
- wood and natural surface glues
- sealants, e.g. hydrophobic car sealants or hydrophobic paint sealants
Thanks to variable particle sizes, our powders can act as strong porosity enhancers. This is advantageous for glues to bind porous materials. Especially in the medical field where bonding of biomaterials with non-toxic agents is crucial, Olea FP is the natural solution for an innovative high-porosity paint bonding agent.
Bonding Additives for Ultra Hydrophobic Material
Our hydrophobic powders Olea FP H50 and H100 were developed for the use as hydrophobic fillers. They can therefore act as hydrophobic paint bonding agent additives in a variety of resins and hydrophobic coatings for plastic items.
When exposed to moisture, H50 and H100 retain their light beige colour. This is particularly advantageous for manufacturers of wood adhesives or wood repair products. No bleaching is required to match the colour of wood, but it is possible to work with natural pigments to adapt to different wood types. Hence, this opens opportunities for restoring wooden floors and furniture with ecological resins and coatings.
If you are a developer of paints, coatings, or adhesives, we are pleased to offer you innovative natural bonding additives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Paint Bonding Agent Additives
What is a paint bonding agent?
A paint bonding agent serves as an essential component for enhancing the adhesion between a paint coating and the underlying surface. It bridges the gap by penetrating the substrate's pores, creating a robust adhesive property that prevents peeling and flaking over time — vital for achieving long-lasting and durable finishes in industrial and decorative applications. Experience superior quality with our innovative solutions. Our products, derived from the natural by-products of agricultural production, offer sustainable alternatives without compromising on performance. These bio-based agents not only meet ecological standards but also support the broader objectives of reducing environmental impact and promoting circularity. Elevate your production processes with our cutting-edge biodegradable materials, crafted with precision at our Spanish facility renowned for its rigorous quality controls. For businesses committed to sustainability and seeking top-tier performance, our offerings add unmatched value, aligning with your eco-conscious operational goals.
What is used as a bonding agent?
For industries seeking sustainable solutions, bonding agents play a vital role in ensuring product stability and performance. A paint bonding agent, often composed of eco-friendly materials, provides that crucial link. At BioPowder, we create biomass-based powders that serve as an effective substitute for traditional bonding materials in various applications. These powders, derived from olive stones, almond shells, and other agricultural by-products, not only enhance adhesion but also contribute to environmental preservation. Our clients benefit from the unique properties of our paint bonding agent, which supports both binding and biocompatibility. By using our naturally sourced powders, businesses can uphold their commitment to sustainability without compromising on quality. These solutions not only support the push towards greener production processes but also meet rigorous industry standards for performance and durability.
What is a bonding agent used for?
A bonding agent, like our bonding powder, serves as an essential intermediary to enhance adherence between layers. It creates a robust interface that unifies surfaces, ensuring a cohesive bond and increasing longevity and durability. For industries aiming to improve coating adhesion, a bonding agent can be pivotal, eliminating irregularities and promoting an even application. These agents, like paint adhesion promoters, optimise surface readiness, minimizing the risk of peeling or flaking, especially when dealing with challenging substrates. This has become vital for industries employing sustainable materials, where surface compatibility is crucial. Implementing a premium-grade bonding agent can streamline processes, reduce material waste, and enhance overall product performance. With BioPowder's commitment to innovation and sustainability, our materials seamlessly integrate with bonding solutions, paving the way for superior quality in eco-friendly production.
Can you paint over a bonding agent?
Indeed, it's feasible to apply paint over a bonding agent, provided that correct preparation steps have been carried out. A bonding agent is designed to create a robust adhesive layer between surfaces, ensuring paint adheres well, especially on slick substrates. Before painting, ensure the bonding powder has fully cured, which may vary from product to product — consult the manufacturer's instructions for exact timing.
Once dry, lightly sand the surface to enhance grip. This step is typically advisable for optimal adhesion, particularly in industrial applications where surface integrity and uniformity are crucial. Applying a primer tailored for over-bonding agent use can further guarantee a smooth, durable finish. Selecting primers and paints that align with environmentally conscious production, akin to BioPowder’s ethos of sustainability, will support high-quality outcomes and align with eco-friendly practices.
Taking these steps will optimise the integration of agents for paint into your production processes, boosting efficiency and surface quality.
