Dekalin 6257812 DEKAvator 30 ml bottle Primer Adhesion promoter

Dekavator from Dekalin (MPN 6257812) is a primer that improves the adhesion of various Dekalin products based on MS polymer, such as Dekasyl, to closed surfaces. For substrates with low surface tension (mostly plastics) or if the composition of the substrate is unknown, it is recommended to use the Dekavator adhesion activator. It ensures permanent adhesion and prevents moisture penetration in outdoor areas. Dekavator improves adhesion by acting as a chemical bridge between the joint and the adhesive.

Applications

For pre-treatment of:

• Aluminum, steel, copper, and brass
• Powder-coated metal
• Painted metal (the compatibility of the solvent with the substrate should be checked beforehand)
• (Ceramic-coated) glass
• Polyester (GRP)
• ABS and PVC

Properties

• Adhesion-enhancing
• Fast drying, flash-off time approx. 5 minutes
• Easy to use
• Economical consumption

Application

The substrates should be clean, dry, and free of dust and grease. The packaging should remain tightly closed until use. Dekavator can be used directly from the original packaging, provided that contamination and viscosity increase are prevented. The color should be transparent (if the color is milky transparent, the product should no longer be used). Dekavator should not come into contact with water until the product has hardened. It is therefore recommended to make two openings in the aluminum seal at the top of the can (if possible, depending on the can). Close the can immediately after use. Apply Dekavator in a thin layer. Rub the surface vigorously with a clean, colorless cloth moistened with Dekavator. After a drying time of about 5 minutes (the solvent should be completely evaporated; the lower the temperature, the longer the drying time), the adhesive/sealant can be applied. The best adhesion is achieved when the adhesive/sealant is applied within 4 hours after Dekavator has dried. Therefore, only as much as can be sealed/bonded within 4 hours should be pretreated. Avoid touching the pretreat surfaces, as the grease film on your fingers can lead to poor adhesion.
Note 1:Due to its incompatibility with paints, Dekavator should not be applied to areas that are to be painted at a later date. In this case, a stencil or masking tape should be used to apply Dekavator only to the area to be bonded/sealed (however, it is possible to remove any residue of Dekavator easily with, for example, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or acetone).
Note 2:If the surface is heavily soiled, it must first be cleaned with, for example, IPA or acetone. It is recommended to test the compatibility of the surface with this primer in advance.
