ACTIVATOR POWDER 1. Hair Color: In hair coloring products, activator powder (or developer) is mixed with hair dye to start the oxidation process that allows the dye to penetrate the hair shaft and produce the desired color change. 2. Adhesives: Some types of adhesives use activator powders to kickstart curing processes. When mixed with a suitable adhesive, the powder triggers a chemical reaction that causes the adhesive to harden or set. 3. Industrial Applications: Activator powders are also used in various industrial processes where controlled chemical reactions are necessary to achieve specific results. The specific composition and function of activator powders can vary widely depending on their intended use. For instance, in hair coloring, the activator powder often contains hydrogen peroxide, while in other applications, it might involve catalysts or accelerators tailored for different chemical reactions.
