Technical Overview
Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2 is formulated to interact with cyanoacrylate adhesives, initiating a rapid polymerisation process. This ensures a quick set and strong bond, particularly on porous surfaces where adhesives can be absorbed, slowing down the curing process. The aerosol delivery system allows for precise application, minimising waste and ensuring consistent results.
Chemical Properties: Contains Naphtha (petroleum), hydrotreated light and N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine. These components facilitate rapid curing and enhance bond strength.
Application Temperature Range: While specific temperature ranges aren't listed in the SDS, it's generally recommended to apply at ambient temperatures, typically between 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F). Extreme temperatures can affect the evaporation rate and effectiveness of the activator. For best results, ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application.
Application Information
- Required Tools: Aerosol spray can, clean cloth for wiping excess.
- Trade-Specific Tips: Spray a light, even coat on one surface before applying the cyanoacrylate adhesive to the other. For intricate work, use a small nozzle extension for precise application. Ensure proper ventilation during use.
- Common Issues and Solutions: If the adhesive cures too quickly, reduce the amount of activator used. If bonds are weak, ensure surfaces are clean and dry and apply a more generous coat of activator.
Storage and Shelf Life
- Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F).
- Shelf Life Information: Refer to the product packaging for specific shelf life information. Generally, aerosol products have a shelf life of approximately 12 months when stored correctly.
- Temperature Considerations: Avoid storing in extreme temperatures, as this can affect the aerosol pressure and product effectiveness.
Certifications
- Complies with REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
- Adheres to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 for hazard classification.
Frequently Asked Questions About Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2
Q: How do I apply Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2?
A: Spray a light, even coat on one of the surfaces to be bonded. Allow a few seconds for the solvent to evaporate before applying the cyanoacrylate adhesive to the other surface and joining the parts. This ensures rapid curing and a strong bond.
Q: Will this activator work with all cyanoacrylate adhesives?
A: Yes, Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2 is designed to work with most standard cyanoacrylate adhesives. However, it's always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired results.
Q: Can I use this activator on metal surfaces?
A: While it's primarily designed for porous surfaces like MDF, it can be used on metals to accelerate curing. However, ensure surfaces are clean and free from oils or contaminants for optimal adhesion.
Q: What safety precautions should I take when using this product?
A: Use in a well-ventilated area, wear protective gloves and eye protection, and avoid inhaling the spray. Keep away from heat sources and open flames. Refer to the SDS for detailed safety information.
Q: How should I store the Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2?
A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F). Ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use.
Q: Can this product be used in cold weather conditions?
A: While it can be used, colder temperatures may slow down the evaporation of the solvent and thus slightly delay the activation process. Ensure the surfaces are at a reasonable temperature for best results.
Q: Is this product suitable for large scale industrial applications?
A: Yes, the Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2 is suitable for both small and large-scale industrial applications where rapid bonding is required. Its aerosol format allows for efficient application across various project sizes.
Use Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2 for:

- Simplify application with the aerosol spray, ensuring even coverage and ease of use in tight spaces. This saves time and reduces waste compared to manual application methods.
- Enhance the overall reliability of cyanoacrylate adhesive applications, reducing the need for rework. For instance, quick on-site repairs can be made with confidence.
How to apply Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2:
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants.
- Shake the aerosol can well before use.
- Spray a light, even coat of the activator onto one of the surfaces to be bonded.
- Allow a few seconds for the solvent to evaporate.
- Apply the cyanoacrylate adhesive to the other surface.
- Join the surfaces and apply pressure for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.
- Wipe away any excess activator or adhesive with a clean cloth.
Selsil MDF Kit Activator Spray-T2 limitations:
- Not suitable for use on non-porous surfaces where cyanoacrylate adhesives are already effective without an activator, as it may cause overly rapid curing and weaker bonds.
- Avoid excessive application, as it can lead to a white residue or weakened bonds.
- Not recommended for applications requiring long-term flexibility, as cyanoacrylate bonds are generally rigid.
