The manufacturer of speciality chemical products Weicon has developed a spray to accelerate the curing of adhesives – Weicon CA-Activator PS.
CA-Activator PS accelerates the curing of Weicon Contact cyanoacrylate adhesives, so-called instant adhesives. The accelerator can be applied both before and after the bonding process, and can also be used to cure excess adhesive.
Weicon advises using the curing accelerator for highly viscous contact types, thick layers, absorbent and porous surfaces, passive materials (alkaline surfaces, such as galvanised metal parts) and unfavourable environmental conditions.
When used on absorbent and porous substrates, such as wood or foam, as well as all chemically treated surfaces such as galvanised metal, the activator is effective for approx. one minute. The activator remains effective for up to 12 hours on non-absorbent surfaces.
Equipped with a pump spray head, CA-Activator PS ensures that the surfaces to be bonded are evenly and precisely wetted with the activator.
