Buy Activators Online

The device chiropractors use is called an activator or Activator Adjusting Instrument — it delivers a small, controlled impulse to the spine for adjustments. This is unrelated to the activator/accelerator products sold by Tech-Bond Global, which are chemical catalysts engineered specifically for polymer and molecular bonding applications in industrial and repair settings.

Tech-Bond activators are compatible with a wide range of substrates including PTFE (Teflon), HDPE, Delrin/POM, rubber and silicone, nylon, polypropylene, metal, and composites. They are formulated specifically to enhance bonding on low surface energy polymers that traditional adhesives cannot effectively bond.

Yes, for optimal bond strength on difficult polymers like PTFE, HDPE, silicone, and nylon, using Poly Prep — Tech-Bond's adhesion promoter — before applying the activator is strongly recommended. Poly Prep etches the polymer surface to create the ideal texture, and the activator then accelerates the bonding agent for a permanent molecular-level bond.

The SI bonding agent is the primary adhesive that forms the molecular bond between substrates. The activator/accelerator is a catalyst applied separately to speed up the cure of the bonding agent and strengthen the final bond. Together, they form the core of the Tech-Bond Polymer Bonding Process, especially on challenging, hard-to-bond surfaces.

Activators are available both as individual components (starting at $9.95) and as part of complete kits including Starter Kits, Deluxe Kits, and Professional Kits. Individual purchases suit spot repairs or replenishment needs, while kits provide everything needed — Bonding Agent, Activator, Poly Prep, and Filler — for comprehensive bonding and repair tasks.

Tech-Bond recommends storing activators and SI bonding agents in a refrigerator for the longest possible shelf life. Before use, products should be brought back to room temperature. Poly Prep surface prep should be stored in a cool, dry place as it is a solvent-based formula. Proper storage ensures consistent performance and extends usability over time.
