Adhesive Activators, Primers & Debonders are essential products in the adhesive industry. These products are designed to improve the bond strength between adhesive and substrate and remove adhesive residues after bonding.
Adhesive Activators
Adhesive activators are products that help to promote the adhesion between the adhesive and substrate. These products are designed to increase the substrate's surface energy, allowing the adhesive to wet the surface more easily. Adhesive activators are typically used with difficult-to-bond substrates such as plastics, metals, and composites. There are different types of adhesive activators, such as solvent-based, water-based, and UV-curable.
Primers
Primers are products that improve the bond strength between the adhesive and substrate. Primers work by creating a chemical bond between the adhesive and the substrate. Primers are typically used with substrates that are difficult to bond, such as plastics, metals, and composites. There are different primers, such as solvent-based primers, water-based primers, and acid-etch primers.
Debonders
Debonders are products that are used to remove adhesive residues after bonding. Debonders break down the adhesive bond and release the adhesive from the substrate. Debonders are typically used when adhesive residues are left on the substrate after bonding. Different types of de-bonders exist, such as solvent-based debonders, water-based debonders, and heat-activated debonders.
Typical Applications of Adhesive Activators, Primers & Debonders
Applying adhesive activators, primers, and debonders is critical to achieving a successful bond. The application method will depend on the type of product being used and the substrate being bonded. Adhesive activators and primers are typically applied by spraying, brushing, or wiping onto the substrate. Debonders are typically applied by soaking, spraying, or wiping onto the substrate.
Adhesive activators, primers, and debonders are essential products in the adhesive industry. These products are designed to improve the bond strength between adhesive and substrate and remove adhesive residues after bonding. By understanding the different types of adhesive activators, primers, debonders, and their applications, adhesive manufacturers can ensure a successful bond every time.
