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.

MICA A-131-X
MICA A-131-X is the industry standard of water-based primers. It is a high-performance, multipurpose product for extrusions, inks, coatings, & adhesives.
MICA A-251-A
MICA A-251-A is a single component, aqueous polymeric dispersion designed for promoting adhesion of extruded resins to aluminum foil substrates.
MICA G-1092
MICA G-1092 is a single component, aqueous polymeric dispersion useful as a primer for aluminum foil and metalized substrates prior to extrusion coating with polyethylene, copolymers, and ionomers. Adhesion at the primed interface is stronger than typically observed with other poly(ethylene-acrylic acid) based primers.
MICA G-782
MICA G-782 is a single component, waterborne dispersion designed for promoting adhesion of extruded polyethylene to various supporting films and papers. SiOx coated films are among the substrates to which MICA G-782 provides superior adhesion. This primer contributes excellent moisture resistance to the subsequent SiOx/PE laminate. MICA G-782 also bonds strongly to AlOx surfaces.
MICA H-722
MICA H-722 is a single component, concentrated aqueous resin dispersion designed for promoting adhesion of extruded polyethylene to paper and film.
MICA H-760-A
MICA H-760-A is a single component, concentrated aqueous resin dispersion designed for promoting the adhesion of extruded resins to various supporting films and papers.
MICA H-788
MICA H-788 is a single component, concentrated aqueous resin dispersion designed for promoting adhesion of extruded polyethylene to paper or film.
MICA I-1050
MICA I-1050 is an aqueous polymeric dispersion suitable for use as an in-line film primer for extrusion coating or printing. An optional crosslinker can be added for superior water resistance.
MICA I-1051
MICA I-1051 is an aqueous polymeric dispersion suitable for use as an in-line film primer for extrusion coating or printing. An optional cross linker can be added for superior water resistance.
MICA I-372-C
MICA I-372-C is a “press-ready” aqueous polymeric dispersion suitable for use as a film primer for extrusion coating or printing. An optional crosslinker can be added for superior water resistance.
MICA I-793
MICA I-793 is an aqueous polymeric dispersion suitable for use as a block-free film primer for extrusion coating or printing. It may be suitable as a base coat for metallization. An optional crosslinker can be added for superior water resistance.
MICA I-842
MICA I-842 is an aqueous polymeric dispersion suitable for use as an in-line film primer for extrusion coating or printing. An optional cross linker can be added for superior water resistance.
MICA M-1164
MICA M-1164 is a single component, aqueous polymeric dispersion useful as a primer for aluminum foil and metalized substrates prior to extrusion coating with polyethylene, copolymers, and ionomers.
MICA M-2420
MICA M-2420 is a single component, aqueous resin dispersion designed to promote adhesion of extruded ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) resins to film substrates. MICA M-2420 passes the severe service exposure test when used with ozone.
MICA MC-634
MICA MC-634 is an aqueous emulsion that passes the ASTM D6400 standard for compostability. It is designed to function as a sealing layer or adhesion promoter applied to paperboard substrates for adhesion to PLA and PHA resins and films. It may also find use as a primer applied to paper, and bio-based metalized and non-metalized films, for adhesion of PLA and PHA extrudates.
MICA R-1207
MICA R-1207 is a unique, water-based, single-component resin formulation designed to bond extruded polypropylene to paper.
MICA R-1509-C
MICA R-1509-C is a single component, concentrated aqueous resin dispersion designed for promoting adhesion of extruded polyester or poly(lactic acid) (PLA) to paper and paper board substrates. The primer produces high bond strength and provides resistance to blistering under high-temperature conditions.
MICA R-1595
MICA R-1595 is a single component, aqueous resin dispersion designed to promote the adhesion of extruded ethylene copolymers such as ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), ethylene ethyl acrylate (EEA), and ethylene methyl acrylate (EMA) to film substrates. The primer offers robust bond strengths without the need for ozone to facilitate surface oxidation of the melt.

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.Application Examples for Extrusion Primers
