Detailed Specs & Benefits of CLEARFIL™ DC Activator
CLEARFIL™ DC Activator
Dual-Cure Compatibility. Universal Adhesive Performance. CLEARFIL™ DC Activator extends the versatility of CLEARFIL™ SE BOND 2, CLEARFIL™ SE Protect, and CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond 2 by enabling strong adhesion with self- and dual-cure materials — ideal for indirect restorations and core build-ups. Simply mix one drop with the adhesive to achieve reliable self-cure bond strength, low film thickness, and superior sealing performance through TOUCH-CURE technology. Backed by Kuraray’s proven chemistry, it ensures universal compatibility and confident results in more clinical situations. Dual-Cure Power. Universal Possibilities.
Features & Benefits
Universal Dual-Cure Capability
Enables CLEARFIL™ bonding systems to be used with self- or dual-cure cements and composites—no light-curing required.
TOUCH-CURE Activation for Better Sealing
When contacted by resin cement or core build-up materials, the system self-activates at the interface, improving seal and bond reliability.
Low Film Thickness for Ideal Fit
Reduces bond layer to 3–5 μm, ideal for seating indirect restorations without affecting marginal fit or esthetics.
Reliable Bond Strength in Self-Cure Mode
Achieves high bond strength without light-curing, matching or surpassing other leading adhesives in independent tests.
Works with Multiple CLEARFIL™ Adhesives
Compatible with CLEARFIL™ SE BOND 2, CLEARFIL™ SE Protect, and CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond 2 for flexible, simplified inventory.
35+ Years of Proven Adhesive Chemistry
Inherits Kuraray’s trusted dual-cure innovation legacy—beginning with PANAVIA™ EX—for long-term clinical performance.

Specs
Compatible Adhesives
CLEARFIL™ SE BOND 2, CLEARFIL™ SE Protect, CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond 2—each becomes dual-cure capable when mixed with DC Activator.
Curing Mechanism
Enables polymerization via contact with self-/dual-cure materials (TOUCH-CURE), removing the need for light-curing in indirect applications.
Indications
Use with dual-cure core build-ups and resin cements for indirect restorations like crowns, bridges, and onlays.
Bond Strength in Self-Cure Mode
Comparable or superior to light-cure systems when tested without light exposure—ideal for deep or hard-to-reach areas.
Application Method
Mix 1 drop of bonding agent with 1 drop of DC Activator. Apply per standard bonding steps before cementation or core build-up.
Film Thickness
Approximately 3–5 µm—thin enough for tight-fitting restorations without compromising bond integrity.
Not Required With Certain Materials
Not necessary when using PANAVIA™ SA Cement or CLEARFIL™ DC CORE Plus, which are self-activating with CLEARFIL™ adhesives.
Clinical Track Record
Built on Kuraray’s 35-year heritage of adhesive systems for dual- and self-cure workflows.
