Request Information
Activators are pre-applied to metal, glass, ceramic, and thermoset substrates to increase the bond strength of specific Dymax® structural adhesives in shadow areas. They are used between opaque, close-fitting parts to form durable bonds up to 3,500 psi in 10-30 seconds. Applications include magnet and ferrite bonding, motor assembly, and metal joining.

  • Strong bonds in 10-30 seconds
  • Excellent degreasing and wetting properties
  • Designed for areas inaccessible by light or heat
  • Improve strength of bonded substrates
  • Free of ODCs and VOCs

 N/A Activator for Fast, Reliable Structural Bonding

501-E-REV-A Activator, when pre-applied to metallic, plated, ceramic, or glass substrates including printed circuit boards or PCBs, rapidly cures Multi-Cure® 600 series and 800 series structural adhesives and thermal interface materials in gaps from less than 1 mil to 20 mils.

Activator bonding increases efficiency, consistency, and reliability and provides broad tolerance of adhesive-to-activator ratios. Dymax® metal bonding adhesives develop bond strengths up to 3,500 psi in 10 to 30 seconds between opaque surfaces when an adhesive activator is pre-applied to metal substrates.
