Mercene is a Swedish-based surface-chemistry company focused on one problem: making industrial coatings and inks bond reliably to difficult substrates like melamine, PP, and PET. Mercene uses patented UV-assisted photochemistry to activate the surface, so that the next layer bonds covalently. For panel-, foil-, or edge-band producers, the company's primers mean thinner coating systems, better scratch resistance, a
simplified coating process, and new product designs that are hard to make with conventional adhesion primers.
