Haftungsvermittlung - adhesion improvement?
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Manufacturing
I'm proofreading a document for a frictional connections company and found the word 'Haftungsvermittlung' translated as 'adhesion improvement', which sounds strange to me. There is limited context: it comes under the heading of 'Anstrichaufbau' (coating preparation) and the word itself is a subheading followed by a list of primers. Any help as to whether this translation is acceptable or suggestions for better solutions are greatly appreciated.

Selected
bonding primer
I would call this a bonding primer, rather than just a primer, as its purpose is to promote adhesion.

German term (edited):
Haftungsvermittlung
Bonding
To this ENS, "bonding" covers it all, and as a heading, it's quite concise

Der Verfasser ist anscheinend ein begeisterter 'ung'-Anhänger. Ich kenne das als Haftvermittler, woraus man primer, adhesion agent oder auch adhesion promoter ableiten kann.

Adhesion promotion wird anscheinend auch gerne genommen, obwohl spätestens im folgenden Halbsatz wieder die rede von primer/priming ist.
