Dekalin DEKAVATOR 22 NF hechtingsbevorderaar, 30 ml (3279034)

• Adhesion improving
• Fast drying
• Economical consumption

Dekavator by Dekalin (MPN 3279034) is a primer that improves the adhesion of various Dekalin products based on MS polymer, such as Dekasyl, on closed surfaces. On substrates with low surface tension (mostly plastics) or when the composition of the substrate is unknown, it is recommended to use the adhesion activator Dekavator. Dekavator improves bondability, as it acts as a chemical bridge between the part and the adhesive.

Applications

• Aluminium, 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

• Fast drying, flash-off time approx. 5 minutes
• Easy to use

Processing

The substrates must be clean, dry, 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 colour should be transparent (if the colour is milky transparent, the product must no longer be used). Prevent Dekavator from coming into contact with water until the product has cured. Therefore, it is recommended to make two openings in the top of the can in the aluminium seal (if possible, depending on the can). Close the can again immediately after use. Apply Dekavator in a thin layer. Rub the surface vigorously with a clean, colour-free cloth moistened with Dekavator. After a drying time of about 5 minutes (the solvent must have 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 pretreat as much as can be sealed/bonded within 4 hours. Avoid touching the pretreated surfaces, as the grease film from fingers can lead to poor adhesion.

• Note 1: Due to incompatibility with paints, Dekavator should not be applied to areas that are to be painted afterwards. In this case, a template or masking tape should be used to apply Dekavator only in the bonding/sealing area (however, it is possible to simply remove residues of Dekavator with e.g. isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or acetone).
• Note 2: In case of heavily soiled surfaces, clean beforehand with e.g. IPA or acetone. It is recommended to test the compatibility of the surface with this primer in advance.
