Tips and Techniques

Activator Failure

Activator exposed to high temperatures during transport or storage will start to break down and loose strength, this will generally show up as a slower cure.
High temperature decomposition of the activator can also release gasses into the activator component.
Bubbles may appear in the dispensed product and the compressibility of the gases may act like a spring compressing with each pull of the trigger, producing fluctuations in the dispensing rate, off ratio cure and drooling at the tip.
Our tests revealed that some manufacturer's activator may separate after freezing; this can cause the proportions of active ingredients (therefore the cure) to vary.
If you suspect damaged activator, contact your supplier.
