Adhesive Activators, Accelerators & Primers

Low surface energy (LSE) polymers — including PTFE, HDPE, polypropylene, nylon, silicone rubber, and Delrin — all require surface preparation with an adhesion promoter like Poly Prep. These materials have naturally smooth, non-reactive surfaces that resist bonding. Etching them first with a solvent-based primer creates the surface texture necessary for strong, permanent molecular bonds.

Yes. Tech-Bond's Activator/Accelerator is compatible with cyanoacrylate-based bonding agents and is specifically designed to catalyze and accelerate cure times. It works in conjunction with Tech-Bond's SI bonding agents (Blue, Black, Green) and is included in both the Professional Kit and Deluxe Kit for complete bonding system performance on polymers, metals, and composites.

Poly Prep is a fast-acting, solvent-based adhesion promoter that dries quickly after application, typically within seconds to a minute under normal conditions. Once the solvent evaporates and the surface has been etched, you can proceed directly to the bonding step. The fast drying time makes it well-suited for industrial production lines and field repair workflows.

Yes. Poly Prep is available in sizes ranging from 0.75 oz up to 5 gallons, with multi-pack options including 5-pack and 10-pack quantities. The Activator/Accelerator is also available in multiple variants and sizes. Volume pricing is available for larger orders. Contact Tech-Bond Global directly to discuss bulk purchasing, industrial accounts, or distribution arrangements.

Adhesive activators and primers are widely used in automotive repair and manufacturing, industrial maintenance, pipeline and infrastructure repair, aerospace, marine, and construction industries. Anywhere PTFE, HDPE, nylon, or polypropylene components are assembled or repaired, a surface preparation product like Poly Prep is essential for achieving strong, durable bonds that meet performance requirements.

Poly Prep should be stored in a cool, dry place as it is solvent-based. The Deluxe Kit bonding agents have an extended shelf life when stored in a refrigerator — bring them to room temperature before use. Always reseal containers tightly after use.
