What is BORN2BOND™ ULTRA cyanoacrylate glue?

BORN2BOND™ ULTRA is a next-generation cyanoacrylate glue developed by Intertronics. It combines the fast-setting speed of traditional cyanoacrylates with significantly higher mechanical and thermal resistance.

Its unique feature: an odorless and non-blooming formula. Ideal for black parts, sensitive surfaces, or confined work environments.

MECA Technology: A new generation of cyanoacrylate

MECA (Moisture Enhanced Curing Adhesive) technology is the heart of BORN2BOND™ ULTRA. It optimally leverages ambient humidity to trigger a more homogeneous and deeper polymerization.

The concrete result: the adhesive joint lasts longer, even on assemblies subject to thermal or mechanical stress. Standard cyanoacrylates often remain fragile when exposed to impact and heat.

Here is what sets BORN2BOND™ ULTRA apart from conventional cyanoacrylates:

• Thermal resistance up to 120 °C (vs 80 °C for standard CA)
• Improved impact resistance thanks to greater joint flexibility
• Zero blooming on the surface, even on dark materials
• Virtually no odor during application
• Adhesion to metals, plastics, rubber, ceramics

At Dagobert Industrie, we offer BORN2BOND™ ULTRA for demanding applications where a classic cyanoacrylate reaches its limits.

Technical properties and performance of BORN2BOND™ ULTRA

BORN2BOND™ ULTRA is an odorless cyanoacrylate glue developed by Permabond. It combines fast curing and low emission of irritating vapors, distinguishing it from conventional CAs.

Its viscosity is low to medium, making it ideal for precision assembly on smooth or slightly porous surfaces. The fixture time is in the range of 5 to 30 seconds depending on the substrate and ambient humidity.

It adheres to a wide range of materials: metals, plastics, rubbers, ceramics, and composite materials. It is suitable for applications where operator proximity makes it necessary to limit volatile emissions.

Shear strength reaches high values on steel, comparable to the best CAs on the market. The cured joint withstands temperatures up to 80 °C continuously, with acceptable peaks at 120 °C.

Product	Manufacturer	Type	Odorless	Viscosity	Max. Temp.	Typical use
BORN2BOND™ ULTRA	Permabond	Low-odor CA	✔	Low-medium	120 °C	Precision, confined work areas
Loctite 406	Henkel	Standard CA	✘	Low	80 °C	Plastics and rubbers
Loctite 480	Henkel	Toughened CA	✘	Medium	80 °C	Vibration-prone assemblies
Cyberbond CB 2050	Cyberbond	Low-odor CA	✔	Low	80 °C	Electronics, optics

Compared to traditional CAs, BORN2BOND™ ULTRA significantly reduces frosting around the bond line, a tangible advantage on visible parts or dark substrates.

• Chemical resistance: good resistance to oils, fuels, and light solvents
• Storage: optimal preservation between 2 °C and 8 °C, away from humidity
• Compatibility: not recommended on polyethylene, polypropylene, and PTFE without a primer
• Curing: initiated by surface moisture, no UV or heat required

Comparison: BORN2BOND™ ULTRA vs. other cyanoacrylate glues on the market

Cyanoacrylate glues often look alike. But performance differences are real, especially in demanding industrial conditions.

BORN2BOND™ ULTRA stands out on three key points: lack of odor, impact resistance, and temperature performance. Criteria often sacrificed in entry-level products.

Feature	BORN2BOND™ ULTRA	Standard cyanoacrylate (e.g., Loctite 401)	Flexible cyanoacrylate (e.g., Loctite 480)
Odor	Very low / odorless	Strong	Moderate
Impact resistance	High	Low	High
Temperature resistance	Up to 120 °C	~80 °C	~80 °C
Frosting	Very limited	Frequent	Moderate
Curing speed	Fast	Very fast	Fast
Material compatibility	Broad (plastics, metals, elastomers)	Metals, rigid plastics	Rubber, elastomers

Unlike Loctite 401, BORN2BOND™ ULTRA does not generate irritating vapors. This is a concrete advantage in poorly ventilated workshops or when sensitive operators are present.

Compared to Loctite 480, it offers better thermal resistance while maintaining good impact absorption. Therefore, a single product covers a broader spectrum of applications.

For assemblies on transparent plastics or aesthetic parts, the low frosting rate of BORN2BOND™ ULTRA makes a real difference visible to the naked eye.

Compatible substrates and typical industrial applications

The BORN2BOND™ ULTRA cyanoacrylate glue adheres to a very wide range of substrates, making it a versatile adhesive for industry.

It effectively bonds metals (steel, aluminum, brass, copper), plastics (ABS, PVC, polycarbonate, nylon), elastomers, and porous materials like wood, leather, or ceramic.

Slightly oily or acidic surfaces, often problematic for classic cyanoacrylates, are better tolerated thanks to the advanced BORN2BOND™ formulation.

Common industrial applications:

• Assembly of small mechanical parts and component fixation in workshops
• Bonding seals and rubber parts to metal substrates
• Rapid repair of plastic parts in production
• Fixation of sensors, inserts, or labels on rigid surfaces
• Applications in electronics for holding light components
• Assembly of parts made of wood or composite materials

Product	Type	Preferred substrates	Strong point
BORN2BOND™ ULTRA	Odorless cyanoacrylate	Metal, plastic, elastomer, wood	Low odor, fast setting, high strength
Loctite 406	Low-viscosity cyanoacrylate	Plastics and elastomers	Optimized for hard-to-bond materials
Loctite 480	Rubber-toughened cyanoacrylate	Elastomers, rubber	Impact and vibration resistance
3M Scotch-Weld CA40	Universal cyanoacrylate	Metal, plastic, ceramic	General purpose, good thermal resistance

At Dagobert Industrie, we recommend BORN2BOND™ ULTRA for all assemblies requiring instant bonding without harsh odors, particularly in poorly ventilated workshops.

Safety and precautions for use: dangers and best practices

The BORN2BOND™ ULTRA cyanoacrylate glue is a powerful adhesive that requires a few simple precautions for safe use.

Like all cyanoacrylate glues, it polymerizes on contact with moisture, including skin moisture. Accidental contact with fingers can cause instant bonding of skin tissue.

In case of skin bonding, do not pull forcibly. Soak in warm soapy water or use a suitable cyanoacrylate remover. Avoid any mechanical tearing.

Essential precautions:

• Wear nitrile gloves and safety glasses
• Work in a well-ventilated space, even though BORN2BOND™ ULTRA is formulated for low vapor emission
• Keep the product away from flammable materials and heat sources
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes
• Keep the bottle tightly closed between uses
• Store in a cool, dry place to maintain product shelf life

In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with clear water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.

Consult the complete Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before initial use. It is available upon request from Dagobert Industrie.
