Stop It® ADHESION PROMOTER 125 (AP125) is a specialized two-part, solvent-free primer system designed to solve the challenge of bonding to Low Surface Energy (LSE) plastics. By modifying the surface chemistry of difficult substrates, AP125 creates a high-strength interfacial bond, acting as a critical tie-coat for urethane-based adhesives and repair systems.
While engineered as the essential primer for the STOP IT® PIPE REPAIR SYSTEM, AP125 is an effective surface preparation agent for a wide range of urethane adhesive applications where standard bonding fails.
Target Substrates (LSE Plastics)
Standard adhesives struggle to grip some plastics due to low surface energy. AP125 provides the necessary adhesion pathway for:
- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
- LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Various Polyolefins
Primary Use Cases
- LSE Surface Priming: Prepares polyethylene and polypropylene surfaces for structural bonding.
- Urethane Adhesive Bonding: Promotes strong adhesion between LSE plastics and urethane resins.
- Critical Pipe Repair: Essential for sealing leaks on HDPE/PP piping using composite wraps.
- Industrial Maintenance: Enables mechanical reinforcement and chemical resistance repairs on plastic substrates.
Key Benefits
- Unlocks LSE Bonding: Achieves structural bond strengths on plastics that typically reject adhesives.
- Urethane Compatible: Optimized for use with the Stop It® Pipe Repair System and other urethane resin technologies.
- Fast Action: Short cure time (6–8 minutes working time) allows for rapid in-field repairs.
- User-Friendly: Solvent-free formulation with a simple 1:1 mix ratio.

Industrial Piping & Infrastructure
- HDPE Pipe Leak Sealing: The primary use case—repairing leaks in High-Density Polyethylene piping in water treatment, chemical processing, and irrigation where standard epoxy or clamps slide off.
- Polypropylene (PP) Process Lines: Creating a structural bond for composite wraps on PP pipes used in factories for acid or waste transport.
- Gas Distribution Reinforcement: Reinforcing polyethylene (PE) gas lines with composite wraps for corrosion control or abrasion protection.
- Dredging Pipe Maintenance: Repairing heavy-duty HDPE slurry pipes used in mining and dredging operations without needing to weld or replace sections.
Manufacturing & Fabrication
- Plastic Tank Repair: Bonding urethane patches or sealants to polyethylene chemical storage tanks (which are notoriously difficult to patch).
- Urethane Over-Molding: Priming polypropylene or polyethylene cores/inserts before casting urethane around them (e.g., manufacturing custom rollers, bumpers, or wheels).
- Conveyor System Repair: Bonding urethane wear pads or grip strips onto plastic conveyor belts or guide rails.
Automotive & Transportation
- Polyolefin Bumper Repair: Using as a tie-coat to bond urethane structural adhesives or fillers to plastic car bumpers and trim.
- Fuel Tank Maintenance: External reinforcement or abrasion protection on plastic fuel tanks.
Marine & Offshore
- Buoy & Pontoon Repair: Patching cracks or punctures in polyethylene marine floats and buoys using urethane repair kits.
- Desalination Plant Piping: Repairing HDPE lines in high-salinity environments where corrosion resistance is key, but adhesion is difficult.
Telecommunications & Utilities
- Fiber Optic Conduit Repair: Sealing or joining HDPE conduits that house fiber optic cables without using heat fusion equipment.
- Manhole Rehabilitation: Bonding urethane sealants or liners to plastic manhole inserts to prevent groundwater infiltration.
General Maintenance (MRO)
- HVAC Plastic Component Repair: Fixing cracks in plastic housings or condensate pans using urethane sealants.
- Wear Surface Bonding: Attaching urethane wear sheets to plastic chutes, hoppers, or slides to prevent abrasion in material handling.
