What Makes the Superglue Extra Strong Multi-Purpose Dry Faster?
When it comes to bonding projects, drying speed can be a crucial factor, especially in time-sensitive situations.
To accelerate the curing process of cyanoacrylate adhesives, also known as Super Glue Forte, using an activator is often the best solution.
Super Glue Colle21 offers two specially designed products to speed up the drying process of its glues:
✅ Activator 21 Liquid
✅ Activator21 Spray
The Importance of Activators for Cyanoacrylate Glues
Cyanoacrylate adhesives cure in reaction to moisture present in the air and on the surfaces being bonded.
However, in low humidity conditions or when the glue is applied in thick layers, the drying time can be longer than expected.
This is where activators come into play, creating the optimal conditions for the glue to harden almost instantly.
Activator 21 Liquid: Precise and Controlled Application
Activator 21 Liquid is a bottle-based activator solution with an integrated brush applicator, designed to be applied directly to the surface before or after applying the super glue.
Features of Activator 21 Liquid:
✅ Targeted application: The integrated brush applicator allows precise application of the activator on specific areas, making it perfect for small projects or hard-to-reach spots.
✅ Accelerated drying: When applied, the super glue hardens within seconds, significantly reducing waiting time.
✅ Versatility: Compatible with all cyanoacrylate adhesives, Activator 21 Liquid is ideal for use on a wide range of materials.
Activator21 Spray: For Quick and Even Application
Activator21 Spray is the aerosol version of the activator, ideal for applications requiring a quick and uniform coverage.
This product is particularly useful for large-scale projects or when working with bigger surfaces.
Advantages of Activator21 Spray:
✅ Fast application: The spray format allows for quick and easy activator application over large surfaces.
✅ Maximum efficiency: Ensures instant drying of the super glue, even on thick layers or porous materials where natural humidity is insufficient.
✅ Ease of use: The spray eliminates the need for manual application and reduces direct contact with the activator’s chemicals, providing a safer and more convenient user experience.
How to Use Activators with Super Glue
1️⃣ Surface Preparation: Ensure the surfaces to be bonded are clean and dry.
2️⃣ Applying the Activator:
- For Activator 21 Liquid: Apply the activator to one of the surfaces using the brush applicator.
- For Activator21 Spray: Spray the activator evenly over the surface.
3️⃣ Applying the Super Glue Forte: Apply the super glue on the other surface (not on the one treated with the activator).
4️⃣ Assembly: Press the two surfaces together and hold them for a few seconds. - The reaction between the activator and the super glue happens instantly, reducing the curing time to just a few seconds.
Conclusion
Using activators like Activator 21 Liquid and Activator21 Spray by Colle21 is an effective method to speed up the curing process of super glues, especially in low-humidity environments or when a fast bond is essential.
These products are essential accessories for anyone using super glue, ensuring fast and reliable results with every application.
