The high efficiency of the polymer coating is achieved only by the proper choice of thermal and other conditions during the formation of its structure. The aim the work is to study only the initial stage of physical and chemical processes by the formation of the structure of polymer coating, namely, the creation of a primer adhesive layer after the application of monomer paint solution on the steel sheet before to the polymerization. In this work, the dynamic Monte Carlo method for the modified lattice Langmuir’s model of adsorption was used. Time dependences of the sticking coefficient of monomers on the surface of the steel at the same and different heating rates of the metal sheet and the given values of the interaction constant of the monomers and the energy barrier are calculated. It’s shown that there is an optimum temperature regime at which the adhesion of monomer coating on the surface of the metal sheet is maximal. The simulation results are confirmed by experimental data on study of adhesion strength of the primer layer from the poly-vinyl-butyral on the surface of steel sheet.
