As a vital component in any marine glazing or bonding project, this surface preparation agent is the professional’s choice for achieving superior adhesion and long-term performance, even in the harshest marine environments. Whether you are installing a new boat windshield, replacing a leaky porthole, or performing critical maintenance, Sika Aktivator-100 is the essential first step to guarantee the structural integrity and reliability of your Sikaflex adhesive bond.

Sika Aktivator-100 is a cleaning and activating agent specifically formulated for the treatment of the adhesion faces in the direct bonding of windshields before the application of Sikaflex products.

It is used on glass, ceramic coating of glass, the cut and matched surface of previous polyurethane beads on window glass and on paint.

Achieve Unshakeable Bonds and Ultimate Protection

In the demanding world of boating, a failed seal can lead to costly water damage, compromised safety, and frustrating rework. Sika Aktivator-100 mitigates these risks by chemically preparing bonding surfaces for an inseparable connection. Its unique formulation works in a single, efficient step to clean and activate non-porous substrates. It removes invisible contaminants, fingerprints, and residues that can compromise adhesion, while simultaneously creating a chemically receptive surface that promotes a powerful, covalent bond with the Sikaflex polyurethane adhesive. This pre-treatment process is critical for preventing adhesive failure, leaks, and degradation from UV exposure, saltwater spray, and constant vibration.
