Extrusion Primers that Perform

Water-based primers that enhance bonding for extrusion coating and extrusion lamination applications

MICA extrusion primers are an integral part of high-quality, multiple-layer flexible laminates produced by extrusion coating and extrusion lamination. Our extrusion primers are used in the manufacture of thin-film, lightweight, biodegradable, compostable, reusable, and recyclable structures.

All of our primers are environmentally responsible, safe, easy to use, provide high bond strength for durability, and have a long storage and pot life. Primers help to improve product quality, increase shelf life, and help operators create products smoothly and efficiently.

Need assistance selecting the perfect extrusion primer for your application, or have a question about one of our products? Contact us. Our team of experts is standing by to help.

Key Attributes
of Extrusion Primers

Water-Based
In 1971, we were among the first to introduce a water-based primer to the flexible packaging industry. Today, we are the global leader in water-based primers, coatings and adhesion promoters.
Promote Adhesion

These products can help improve and enhance adhesion to a variety of surfaces or coatings.

Optically Clear
Mica's extrusion primers can help keep brand colors and identity intact, and reduces haze in clear film applications.
