Two step activator cure acrylic
Activator plays a role of initiating the chemical reaction to polymerize the acrylic adhesive. Hence, application on a single surface is sufficient to achieve optimum bond strength
Approximately 5:1 by weight is the proportion (Adhesive:Activator) good enough for optimum result
Mixing of Activator and adhesive is strongly discouraged.Application must follow in two steps. One surface to be applied with Activator and other surface to be applied with adhesive.Once done, both the surfaces to be bonded by proper conact.Mixing prior to bonding can result in premature curing of the adhesive.
Typically the effect of activator remains for around 2hours.
When using 2 step acrylic adhesive (activator cure acrylic adhesive) surface gaps can play an important role in final bond strength. Since these acrylic adhesives are activator cureproper matching of surface and good flatness is important for optimum bonding.Surfaces with high gaps or improper flatness or rough finish can be bonded using “Static Mixer cure acrylic adhesive”
As with all other adhesives, optimum bonding requires that bonded surfaces are cleaned and degreased with Loxeal Cleaner-10.A surface well cleaned and degreased always shows higher bonding than an unclean surface.
Bead on bead cure acrylic adhesives
Bead on bead adhesive are formulated to achieve excellent results even if activator and adhesive components are not applied in equal proportion.Bead over bead of side by side bead, they work well either way.
Mixing of Activator and adhesive is strongly discouraged.Application must follow in two steps. One surface to be applied with Activator and other surface to be applied with adhesive.Once done, both the surfaces to be bonded by proper conact.Mixing prior to bonding can result in premature curing of the adhesive.
Yes,both ways the product works well.
As with all other adhesives, optimum bonding requires that bonded surfaces are cleaned and degreased with Loxeal Cleaner-10.A surface well cleaned and degreased always shows higher bonding than an unclean surface.
Static mixer cure acrylic
These adhesive work particularly well on plastics, ofcourse like most others they also work excellent on metals,ceramics etc.
Not all but there are especially formulated “Polyolefin bonders” in our range that suit excellent for these difficult to bonding plastics. Pls refer to our”Polyolefin bonder” section for more details.
Yes.unlike Activator cure acrylic, static mixer cure arylics can fill gaps.
As with all other adhesives, optimum bonding requires that bonded surfaces are cleaned and degreased with Loxeal Cleaner-10.A surface well cleaned and degreased always shows higher bonding than an unclean surface.
Polyolefin bonder acrylic adhesive
While they are well suited for most metals,ceramics etc they are especially formulated for bonding of PP,PE,HDPE,LDPE,EPDM.PTFE and other low surfaceenergy substrates which are otherwise very difficult to bond.
These products are glass filled to ensure they are seld regulated when it comes to maintaining certain gaps.With optimum gap, these products performextremely well.
Do I need to take any other surface preparation steps while using Polyolefin bonder acrylic adhesive
No special steps are required apart from ensuring that the surface is clean from any foreign particles or substrance.
In the beginning it may seem confusing but it all depends on your specific application and with some basic understanding you can learn how to make best use ofour products. For better understanding pls contact us
