LOXEAL Activator 9 for cyanoacrylate adhesives 1 L, curing accelerator for CA adhesives, clear liquid activator for fast bonding in production and service

LOXEAL Activator 9 for cyanoacrylate adhesives 1 L is a specialised auxiliary product that accelerates the curing of CA adhesives and allows the final bond strength to be reached within a few seconds. The clear liquid activator can be applied to one side of the joint before bonding or directly onto the adhesive already dispensed on the parts. The economical 1 L can is ideal for workshops, assembly lines and series production.

Advantages and unique features

• Accelerates the curing of cyanoacrylate adhesives – final bond achieved within a few seconds after assembly.
• Can be applied to the substrate before bonding or directly onto freshly applied CA adhesive.
• Clear, low-viscosity liquid – easy to apply a thin and uniform activator layer.
• Stable physical properties (viscosity, density) support accurate dosing in production processes.
• Surface remains active for approximately 1 hour, providing flexibility for assembly operations.
• Long shelf life – up to 24 months in the original container.
• Economical 1 L pack designed for professional users.

Properties and applications

• Rapid bond formation: enables the cyanoacrylate bond to reach final strength in just a few seconds, depending on substrate, adhesive grade and joint gap.
• Faster assembly: reduced curing time shortens production cycles and minimises waiting time.
• Flexible application methods: may be applied to the surface before bonding (after complete evaporation) or sprayed directly onto the adhesive bead.
• Industrial and service use: bonding of components with CA adhesives in automotive, electronics, signage, workshop and service applications.
• Support for demanding substrates: helps obtain repeatable bonding results where standard CA curing is too slow.

Technical data

Storage recommendations

Store LOXEAL Activator 9 in its original, tightly closed container away from open flames, sparks and high temperatures. The product is flammable and should be kept in a well-ventilated area protected from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged contact with skin and eyes and always close the container carefully after use. Keep out of reach of children.

FAQ

How should LOXEAL Activator 9 be used with cyanoacrylate adhesives?
Apply a thin layer of activator to one side of the joint, allow the solvent to evaporate completely, then apply the CA adhesive to the other side and assemble the parts. Alternatively, the activator can be sprayed directly onto the adhesive bead immediately before joining.

How long does the surface remain active after activation?
The surface remains active for about 1 hour. If the parts are not bonded within this time, the activation step should be repeated before applying the adhesive.

Is Activator 9 suitable for all CA adhesives?
It is designed for use with cyanoacrylate adhesives, but the adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations and a preliminary test on the actual substrate should always be followed.

Does LOXEAL Activator 9 increase only the curing speed or also the bond strength?
The main function of the activator is to shorten curing time and stabilise bonding conditions; the final strength of the joint depends primarily on the selected adhesive and surface preparation.

What safety precautions are required when handling the activator?
Work in a well-ventilated area, avoid inhaling vapours and contact with eyes and prolonged skin contact. In case of contamination, wash skin with soap and water and rinse eyes with plenty of water. Follow general safety guidelines for flammable chemical products.
