bonding agent

Makes things stick

A bonding agent is a substance that helps materials adhere to each other.

In construction, bonding agents ensure new concrete sticks to old.

In dentistry, they help fillings and crowns attach to tooth enamel.

Primers and adhesives often function as bonding agents: Apply the bonding agent before the final coat.
