Bostik Born2Bond Repair
At a glance
- High gap-filling capacity
- Cyanoacrylate glue (instant glue)
- High bond strength
Bostik Born2Bond Repair is a gap-filling instant adhesive (super glue) and repair product with excellent adhesion to a very broad range of materials and surfaces. Born2Bond Repair is ideal for instant bonding and repair because it combines the strength of a structural adhesive with the speed of an instant adhesive. A tough polymer is formed in less than 10 minutes and the gel consistency enables application in any orientation.
Benefits of Born2Bond Repair
- Fast curing (15-60 seconds).
- Impact resistant.
- Excellent gap-filling properties.
- Instant adhesion with high bond strength.
Applications
Bostik's cyanoacrylate adhesive adheres to many materials and is suitable for a variety of applications, including:
- Wood repair and reconstruction.
- Bonding rubber joints, including automotive applications.
- Plastic repair.
Directions for use
Born2Bond Repair is easy to use. Follow the instructions below.
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry and grease-free before applying Born2Bond Repair.
- Mix component A and component B using the supplied mixing nozzle*.
- Hold the syringe upright, remove the cap and attach the supplied mixing nozzle. The adhesive is automatically mixed as it is dispensed. Dispense a small amount of adhesive until any air bubbles have been removed.
- Dispense a small test amount onto a piece of paper to ensure both components are thoroughly mixed.
- Apply the mixed adhesive to one of the bonding surfaces.
- Assemble the parts immediately after applying the mixed adhesive.
- Hold or clamp the parts in position until the adhesive has cured. Prevent any movement during curing.
- Allow the adhesive bond to fully cure before subjecting it to any load (typically 24 hours).

Open time is the period during which an applied adhesive, sealant or mortar can still be assembled, positioned or adjusted. It is usually given in minutes under specified conditions, often around 20 or 23 °C. Open time generally starts at application and may differ from the working time after mixing.
- 4-10 minutes
-
Heat resistance describes the temperature a material can withstand after correct processing and curing, usually expressed in degrees Celsius (°C). Continuous exposure is different from a brief temperature peak, and mechanical loading may also affect the limit. Heat resistance is not the same as the temperature at which the product can be applied.
- -40 to 80 °C
-
The chemical base describes the chemistry of an adhesive, sealant, resin or coating, such as epoxy, polyester, polyurethane, (methyl)methacrylate or a hybrid polymer. It affects curing, flexibility and adhesion. Products with the same chemical base are not necessarily suitable for the same applications.
- Ethyl cyanoacrylate
-
The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
- 12 months
-
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
