Activation powder is a catalyst compound that dramatically accelerates the chemical reaction between SSD automatic solution<\/strong><\/a> and the dye or coating on defaced banknotes. On its own, SSD solution can take several hours to complete a full treatment cycle. When combined with the correct ratio of activation powder, treatment time can be reduced to under 30 minutes with equal or superior results. Pro Chemikalien Labor<\/strong> <\/a>activation powder is produced in small batches to ensure freshness and peak reactivity. Each container is vacuum-sealed with an inert gas purge to prevent moisture ingress, which is the primary cause of reduced catalytic activity in competing products.<\/p>\n

What Is Vectrol Paste?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vectrol paste is a specialized thickening and binding agent used in conjunction with SSD automatic solution for notes that cannot be fully immersed due to their condition, volume, or substrate sensitivity. The paste formulation allows the active SSD chemical components to be applied directly to the surface of affected areas and maintained in contact for the duration of the treatment cycle without runoff or evaporation loss.<\/p>\n

When to Use Vectrol Paste Instead of Immersion?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Vectrol paste<\/strong><\/a> is the preferred method in the following scenarios:<\/p>\n
