description:
Sika® Aktivator-205 is a solvent-based transparent adhesion promoter that reacts with moisture and deposits active groups on the substrate. These groups act as a connection between substrates and primers or sealants/adhesives. Sika® Aktivator-205 is designed to treat surfaces to be glued before applying Sikaflex® and Sikasil® adhesives and sealers.

The surfaces must be clean, dry and devoid of grease, oil, dust and contaminants.
Adhesion on substrates can be improved by adding and/or combining pre-treatment processes such as abrasion and cleaning before the activator application.
Pass the area to be glued with a paper cloth that does not parade clean and moistened (not wet) with Sika® Aktivator-205. Never immerse the cloth in the activator and pass the surface only with a clean side. Do not moisten the same paper cloth twice, and change it frequently.
Sika® Aktivator-205 must be applied with moderation as the excess of activator may cause an adhesion error.
If the pretreated area is not pasted within the maximum flash-off time, the activation process must be repeated (only once).
The ideal application and surface temperature is between 15 °C and 25 °C.
Consumption and method of application depend on the specific nature of substrates.
Securely shut down the container immediately after each use.
