Overview
Born2Bond™ GA-18 is a highly reliable gasketing adhesive specifically designed for industrial applications. This adhesive offers exceptional sealing and bonding properties, making it an ideal choice for creating long-lasting seals in demanding environments. This single-component adhesive is typically formulated with silicone or modified silicone, ensuring excellent adhesion and sealing performance.
Born2Bond™ GA-18 cures to form a durable seal capable of resisting damage from a range of contaminants, including water, oils, fuels, and other chemicals. This makes it suitable for applications where reliable sealing and protection against harsh substances are critical. Born2Bond™ GA-18 also exhibits excellent resistance to shock, vibration, and high temperatures up to 150°C in demanding environments.
