High-Performance Activation Without DMPT
In the world of industrial adhesives, activators are indispensable tools for accelerating the curing of adhesives and achieving the best results. Their use becomes necessary under suboptimal environmental conditions, such as cold temperatures, low humidity, and thick adhesive layers. Pretreatment with an adhesive activator is also recommended when bonding highly absorbent and porous surfaces, as well as inert materials.
The latest generation of WIKO® Activators features an improved formula that is completely without the toxic ingredient N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMPT). This allows us to offer you high-performance products that are not only efficient but also less toxic.
Why the New Formulation Is Important
Adapting our activators to the European Commission’s latest CLP Regulation was not only a response to legal requirements but also a step toward greater user safety. Starting in September 2025, DMPT will be classified under the 21st ATP (Adaptation to Technical Progress) with the H-statement H350 “May cause cancer,” thereby prohibiting the free trade of products containing it. For more information on the current CLP Regulation, please visit: REACH WEBSITEThe new activators from WIKO are free of N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMPT) and will therefore still be permitted for free trade to Private Consumers even after September 25, 2025. With the new formula of our WIKO® Activators, you are already well-prepared today and can benefit from the following advantages.
Advantages of the new WIKO® Activators
- Improved occupational safety: Free of DMPT, making them less toxic and still available for over-the-counter sale even after September 2025.
- High-performance formulation: Reliable activation under suboptimal environmental conditions such as cold temperatures, low humidity, or thick adhesive layers.
- Greater efficiency: Shorter time to finger-tack ensures faster workflows.
- Improved handling: Optimal spray pattern and low reaction odour enhance the user experience.
Our new activators, WIKO® SUPER GLUE AKTIVATOR and WIKO® ANAEROBE AKTIVATOR, are therefore ideal for anyone who wants to prioritize the highest quality and safety right now.
