Our various technologies of Born2Bond™ Assembly Adhesives
We offer three technologies of Born2Bond™ Industrial Adhesives, as each provides specific benefits for professional needs: instant adhesives (also called cyanoacrylate adhesives), anaerobic adhesives and UV glues.
The ranges below cover most of the bonding and assembly applications. Contact our technical team for any specific requests.
Born2Bond™ Instant Adhesives
Born2Bond™ Cyanoacrylate Adhesives are renown for their high performance and safety. All the flagship products of cyanoacrylate adhesives are free from hazard statements, non-irritating and thus ensure safer handling. However, the cyanoacrylates of the Bostik industrial adhesive range still have all the advantages of the previous generation technical adhesives: fast and efficient bonding of most substrates, high resistance to impacts, and flexibility according to the needs.

Born2Bond™ Anaerobic Adhesives
The range of Born2Bond™ Anaerobic Adhesives is specifically designed for fastening and sealing operations. It offers a more reliable, practical and cost-effective alternative to traditional mechanical fixings. Bostik Anaerobic Adhesives ensure high performance and have a good oil tolerance. These products come in different viscosities suitable for each application.

Born2Bond™ UV Acrylic Adhesives
UV adhesives are characterised by their high durability and their ease of use. They can be used with metals, glass, and plastics, including ABS and PMMA. Bostik UV Adhesives have anti-cracking properties and are resistant to impacts, chemicals and temperature, with low water absorption.

FAQs that can help you in this category
The choice depends mainly on the temperature and the mechanical stresses. Final Advanced Materials' high-temperature epoxy resins are generally limited to between 150 and 350°C, with satisfactory mechanical resistance (typical sheer-stress 10–30 MPa) and a degree of elasticity. However, the ceramic cements produced by Final Advanced Materials can be used up to 2,200°C, depending on the grade (alumina, zirconia, silicate, silica). They have excellent temperature resistance, but remain fragile (brittle behaviour, no elasticity). In the case of assemblies subject to differential expansion or vibration, epoxy is by far the preferred solution, if permitted by the maximum temperature of the application. However, in the case of extreme environments (kiln, vacuum, reducing atmosphere) which exceed 350°C, ceramic cement must be chosen.
The ceramic cements distributed by Final Advanced Materials have maximum working temperatures ranging between 650°C and 2,200°C. For example, alumina-based formulations often reach 1,650–1,760°C in an oxidising atmosphere. However, silicate systems are limited to around 1,000–1,200°C. The real maximum working temperature depends greatly on the environment (air, vacuum, inert gas), the time of exposure to this temperature and the thermal cycle (gradient, thermal shock). Specifically: the metal-loaded ceramic adhesives produced by Final Advanced Materials resist only up to the maximum temperature of the filler (650°C, for example, in the case of aluminium powder).
Yes, Final Advanced Materials produces epoxy resins loaded with silver, nickel or graphite with electrical conductivity (typical resistivity 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻³ Ω·cm) sufficient to enable a weld to be replaced. However, their temperature resistance is limited to 150–250°C under continuous temperature, or 300°C for short-term with thermal curing. Above this temperature the organic matrix degrades (under the effect of oxidisation and pyrolysis). NB: Final Advanced Materials' metal-loaded ceramic cements (nickel, aluminium or stainless steel) are not suitable for applications requiring electrical conductivity and high-temperature resistance (>350°C) because their electrical conductivity is far too low.
Ceramic/metal assemblies require often very different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) to be controlled. Final Advanced Materials recommends alumina-, silica- or zirconia-based ceramic cements for temperatures >350°C, which can bond to all types of ceramics and, generally, metals. For intermediate applications (≤350°C), an epoxy resin loaded with alumina powder enables thermal stresses to be absorbed and will be very compatible with different expansion coefficients. The thickness of the bond line must be between 100 and 300 µm to limit stress. Surface pre-treatment (sanding, degreasing, etc.) greatly improves adherence and is absolutely necessary if the CETs are very different.
The Cotronics adhesives distributed by Final Advanced Materials have variable cycles.
In the case of a cement, initial drying at ambient temperature takes between 2 to 24 h, depending on the viscosity and thickness. A thermal aftertreatment can be performed to allow them to attain their optimum properties after firing. Excessively rapid drying can lead to cracking or porosity in the cement.
Final Advanced Materials' epoxy adhesives which resist up to 260°C must be cured at ambient temperature. Epoxy adhesives which resist up to over 300°C require heat curing.
