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-38 is a medium viscosity, high strength anaerobic adhesive designed to retain cylindrical parts. Once cured the product prevents leakage and/or loosening of parts from vibration and shock.
Features:
- High strength
- Medium viscosity
- High power transmission
- Resistance to dynamic loads
- Recommended for gaps up to 0.2mm
- Vibration resistant
- Corrosion prevention
- Single component
- Suitable for active and passive metals
Directions For Use:
- For best results, clean all surfaces (internal and external) withBorn2BondTM Pre-Bonding Cleaner and wait until fully evaporated.
- If the cure speed is too slow on inactive metals, use Born2BondTMAnaerobic Activator.
