The invention relates to a mixture for activation of polytetrafluoroethylene and other fluoroplastics for bonding by means of adhesives. The mixture contains an organometallic compound of an alkali metal stabilized against effects of atmospheric oxygen and humidity and is particularly suitable for the surface activation in a lot or continuous production or for spaceous articles, where the simple use without protective atmosphere is advantageous. It consists of 1-60 wt. % of an organic polymer (mol. wt. above 4000) obtained by polymerization of ethylene, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, phenyl, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkoxy substituted theylene, ethylene oxide or propylene oxide or a mixture of these polymers, 1 mol of Li, Na or K metal, 0.4-2 mol of a hydrocarbon containing 2-4 bonded, condensed or aneled aromatic nuclei, 500-5000 ml of a solvent from a group comprising aliphatic and cycloaliphatic ethers or polyethers, and, if it is required, up to 50 vol. % of an aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon and/or up to 1 mol of the crown ether of the general formula ##STR1## where m + n = 2 to 10. The surfaces treated with this mixture give virtually the same strength of bonding as after treatment with known organometallic agents, but under much more convenient condition of handling and application.
Mixture containing an organometallic compound of alkali metal and stabilized toward the effects of an air atmosphere, and consisting of 1 to 60 wt. % of an organic polymer of molecular weight of at least 4000 obtained by polymerization of ethylene or ethylene substituted with at least one alkyl group with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, phenyl, or an alkoxy group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the straight or branched chain, or a polymer obtained by polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, or a mixture of the above mentioned polymers, the product of interaction of 1 mol of alkali metal selected from the group consisting of lithium, sodium and potassium and 0.4 to 2 mol of a hydrocarbon containing 2 to 4 aromatic nuclei, 500 to 5000 ml of an organic solvent or a mixture of solvents selected from the group comprising aliphatic or cycloaliphatic ethers, 0 to 50 wt. % of an aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon, and 0 to 1 mol of the macrocyclic polyether (crown ether) of the general formula ##STR3## where m + n = 2 to 10.
