Product Properties

Bostik Born2Bond

Product Information

Capable of bonding all types of cylindrical assemblies, these single-component solutions also seal all metal joints to eliminate the risk of fretting corrosion. They achieve 100% surface-to-surface contact, producing a cohesive, durable connection capable of withstanding vibration, extreme temperatures and chemical substances.

RA-20 is a high viscosity, high strength anaerobic adhesive designed to retain cylindrical parts exposed to temperatures up to 230°C. Once cured the product prevents leakage and/or loosening of parts from vibration and shock.

Features:

  • High strength
  • High viscosity
  • High power transmission
  • Resistance to dynamic loads
  • Vibration resistant
  • Corrosion prevention
  • Recommended for gaps up to 0.2mm
  • Single component
  • Suitable for active and passive metals

Directions For Use:

  • For best results, clean all surfaces (internal and external) with Born2Bond
  • Pre-Bonding Cleaner and wait until fully evaporated.
  • If the cure speed is too slow on inactive metals, use Born2BondTM Anaerobic Activator.
  • For slip fitted parts, apply the adhesive around the pin and the inside of the collar and rotate during assembly to ensure fully coverage.
  • For press fitted parts, apply adhesive fully to both surfaces and assemble at high pressure.
  • For shrink fitted parts, the adhesive should be on the pin, the collar should be heated.
  • Parts should be fixed until sufficient handling strength is achieved.

Applications:

  • Gear manufacturing
  • Machine engineering
  • Bearing assembly
  • Drive shafts
