- High adhesion strength.
- Transparent.
- Adheres to a wide range of substrates.
Applications
Suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Structural bonding.
- Magnet bonding.
- Bonding plastic to metal.
- Bonding glass to leather.
Directions for use
Born2Bond Structural is easy to use. Follow the instructions below:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry and grease-free before applying Born2Bond Structural.
- To use the adhesive, mix component A and component B. The product can be applied directly from the syringe using the mixing nozzle provided.
- Hold the syringe upright, remove the cap and attach the mixing nozzle. Dispense a small amount of adhesive until any air bubbles in the smaller chamber are removed.
- Dispense a small test amount onto a piece of paper to ensure both components are sufficiently mixed.
- Apply the mixed adhesive to one of the bonding surfaces.
- Parts should be assembled immediately after applying the mixed adhesive.
- Joints should be held in place by fixing or clamping until the adhesive has cured. Prevent assembled parts from moving during curing.
- The bond must be given time to reach full strength before being subjected to any load (typically 24 hours).

- Article number
- LIJ001523
-
Adhesive type describes the family of adhesive or sealant, such as epoxy adhesive, (methyl)methacrylate adhesive, polyurethane adhesive or polymer sealant. Its chemistry affects processing, curing, flexibility and adhesion. Products of the same type may still differ, so check the suitable substrates and application instructions.
- Acrylaatlijm
- Colour
- Transparant
-
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.
- 25 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 120 °C
-
Gap-filling capability describes how wide a gap or joint an adhesive or sealant can bridge, usually in millimetres (mm). The stated maximum is not necessarily the recommended adhesive layer thickness: a narrower joint may be needed to achieve good bond strength.
- 5 mm
-
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.
- Hybrid cyanoacrylate and acrylate
-
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.
