Bostik Born2Bond RA-03 Retaining Compound

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-03 is a low 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. This product is acceptable as a retaining compound in and around food processing areas according to NSF S5 (Registration No.163875).

Features:

• High strength
• Low viscosity
• High power transmission
• Resistance to dynamic loads
• Vibration resistant
• Recommended for gaps up to 0.15mm
• Corrosion prevention
• Single component

Directions For Use:

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