Key Features of Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2
-
Rapid Curing: Significantly accelerates the curing process of cyanoacrylate adhesives, reducing waiting time and speeding up project completion. For example, joints that typically take minutes to set can be ready in seconds.
-
Enhanced Bond Strength: Improves the adhesion of cyanoacrylate adhesives on porous surfaces, ensuring a stronger and more durable bond. This is particularly beneficial on materials like MDF, where adhesive absorption can be an issue.
-
Easy Application: The aerosol spray provides an even and consistent application, ensuring uniform coverage and optimal activation. This makes it easy to apply even in hard-to-reach areas.
-
Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including cabinet making, furniture repair, and general assembly work. It's an indispensable tool for any professional needing fast and reliable bonding.
Technical Overview
Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2 is formulated to interact with cyanoacrylate adhesives, initiating a rapid polymerisation process. This ensures a quick set and strong bond, particularly on porous surfaces where adhesives can be absorbed, slowing down the curing process. The aerosol delivery system allows for precise application, minimising waste and ensuring consistent results.
Chemical Properties: Contains Naphtha (petroleum), hydrotreated light and N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine. These components facilitate rapid curing and enhance bond strength.
Application Temperature Range: While specific temperature ranges aren't listed in the SDS, it's generally recommended to apply at ambient temperatures, typically between 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F). Extreme temperatures can affect the evaporation rate and effectiveness of the activator. For best results, ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application.
Application Information
-
Required Tools: Aerosol spray can, clean cloth for wiping excess.
-
Trade-Specific Tips: Spray a light, even coat on one surface before applying the cyanoacrylate adhesive to the other. For intricate work, use a small nozzle extension for precise application. Ensure proper ventilation during use.
-
Common Issues and Solutions: If the adhesive cures too quickly, reduce the amount of activator used. If bonds are weak, ensure surfaces are clean and dry and apply a more generous coat of activator.
Storage and Shelf Life
-
Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F).
-
Shelf Life Information: Refer to the product packaging for specific shelf life information. Generally, aerosol products have a shelf life of approximately 12 months when stored correctly.
-
Temperature Considerations: Avoid storing in extreme temperatures, as this can affect the aerosol pressure and product effectiveness.
