Overview
Born2Bond™ RA-48 is a high-performance retaining adhesive formulated to bond gaps up to 0.15 mm in cylindrical components in industrial applications. These adhesives offer exceptional bond strength and reliability, ensuring the components remain secure under challenging conditions and resisting various forces, including vibrations, shock, and chemical substances, to prevent loosening, leakage, and fretting corrosion in assemblies.
Born2Bond™ RA-48 cures rapidly in the absence of oxygen when confined between metal surfaces, creating a strong, durable bond. It provides high power transmission and resistance to dynamic loads for reliable performance in serviceable assemblies.
