Polyolefins (PO) are a class of plastics, which are used in a lot of applications ranging from films used in the packaging sector to fabrics used for textiles. Despite its several advantages (inexpensive, chemical resistance, etc…), a problem remains its hydrophobic nature resulting in poor adhesion of waterborne aqueous coatings, such as paints, dyes and inks to hydrophobic POs. To improve the adhesion, adhesion promotors are coated on various substrates. However, such adhesion promotors are produced from petroleum products.
