Born2Bond Anaerobic Adhesives

High-performance anaerobic adhesives

The Born2Bond anaerobic adhesives Bostik products are designed to secure, seal and make reliable metal assemblies in industrial environments.

Introducing the Born2Bond range of anaerobic adhesives

The range Born2Bond anaerobic adhesives Bostik groups together single-component technical adhesives designed for metal assemblies. These products cure in the absence of air when confined between two metal surfaces, for example in a thread, between two flanges or in a cylindrical assembly.

This technology is particularly suited for applications where manufacturers are looking for a reliable solution to prevent loosening, ensure sealing, reinforce mechanical resistance, or replace certain traditional fastening systems.

Anaerobic adhesives are used in many industrial contexts: production machinery, pumps, compressors, engines, transmissions, hydraulic systems, maintenance equipment, or mechanical assemblies subjected to vibrations.

The Born2Bond range covers four main application families:

  • Thread braking
  • Thread sealing
  • Sealing
  • Cylindrical retainer

Born2Bond anaerobic threadlocking adhesives are designed for securing threaded assemblies. They are applied directly to screws, bolts or studs to fill the gaps between the threads and limit the risk of loosening due to vibrations, shocks or mechanical cycles.

This product family is suitable for assemblies that need to remain reliable over time, while also being demountable depending on the selected grade. It is used in industrial equipment, production machinery, engines, mechanical components, and maintenance operations.

Born2Bond pipe sealing

Born2Bond Anaerobic Pipe Sealing adhesives are designed for sealing metal threaded connections. They fill the gaps between the threads and form a continuous barrier against fluid or gas leaks.

They represent a technical alternative to conventional solutions such as PTFE tapes or certain sealing pastes. This family is particularly relevant for hydraulic systems, pumps, compressors, industrial fluid circuits, gas installations, or maintenance equipment.

Born2Bond gasketting

Born2Bond Anaerobic Gasketing adhesives are used to create formed-in-place gaskets between two flat metal surfaces. They are used when manufacturers want to replace or supplement pre-cut gaskets, particularly on flanges, housings, pumps, compressors, or gearboxes.

This solution helps to ensure a continuous seal between surfaces while adapting to the geometry of the component. It can help reduce the number of gasket types in stock and simplify certain assembly or maintenance operations.

Born2Bond retaining

Born2Bond Anaerobic Retaining adhesives are designed for the cylindrical fixing of metal parts. They secure assemblies between shafts, bearings, sleeves, gears, pulleys, or hubs by filling the gaps between contact surfaces.

This family is used to reinforce mechanical strength, limit micro-movements and improve the durability of cylindrical assemblies. It is particularly suited to applications in transmissions, rotating equipment, engines, pumps, and mechanical systems subjected to repeated stress.

Securing metal assemblies

Anaerobic adhesives enable the reliable assembly of screwed, threaded, or cylindrical parts. By filling the gaps between metal surfaces, they limit parasitic movement and reduce the risk of loosening.

This function is particularly useful on equipment subjected to vibrations, mechanical cycles, or temperature variations.

Waterproofing pictogram

Improving the seal of connections

In fluid systems, threaded fittings and contact surfaces must ensure reliable sealing. Anaerobic adhesives can fill micro-gaps and form a continuous barrier against leaks.

They can be used on metal fittings, flanges, casings, pumps, compressors, or hydraulic systems.

Repairability pictogram representing ease of maintenance

Reduce the use of certain mechanical parts

According to the application, anaerobic adhesives can replace or supplement washers, pins, pre-cut seals, PTFE tape or mechanical locking devices.

This can help simplify nomenclature, reduce stock levels, and facilitate assembly or maintenance operations.

Improve equipment sustainability

By limiting leaks, loosening, micro-movements, and certain contact corrosion phenomena, anaerobic adhesives contribute to the durability of industrial assemblies.

They are therefore suited for environments where equipment reliability has a direct impact on maintenance, machine availability, and operational safety.

Examples of industrial applications

Thread locking for screwed assemblies

In a bolted assembly, vibrations can lead to progressive loosening. This phenomenon is common in engines, industrial machinery, mobile equipment, or systems subjected to repeated cycles.

Born2Bond anaerobic adhesives for threadlocking fill the space between threads and help to hold fixings in place.

Typical applications :

  • Industrial fasteners
  • Engine assemblies
  • Production machinery
  • Mechanical equipment
  • Systems subjected to vibrations
  • Industrial maintenance

These solutions are suitable for housings, covers, accessories, technical parts, decorative elements, or components of consumer goods.

Sealing for threaded metal fittings

Fluid circuits require reliable connections capable of limiting leaks even in the presence of pressure, vibrations, or thermal variations.

Anaerobic adhesives for thread sealing are applied to metal fittings to fill thread gaps and form a leak-proof bond.

Typical applications :

  • Hydraulic systems
  • Industrial fluid networks
  • Pumps
  • Compressors
  • Threaded metal fittings
  • Liquid or gas storage equipment

The Born2Bond Ultra or Ultra Gel instant adhesives can meet these applications due to their multi-substrate compatibility and ability to maintain high strength on stressed assemblies.

Sealant for flanges and gasket faces

Pre-cut seals can pose several challenges: storing multiple references, risk of incorrect positioning, uneven compression, or difficult adaptation to specific geometries.

Anaerobic adhesives for gasketing create a formed-in-place seal between two metal surfaces. This solution can improve sealing continuity and simplify certain maintenance or assembly operations.

Typical applications :

  • Metal bridges
  • Engine crankcase
  • Gearboxes
  • Industrial pumps
  • Compressors
  • Removable mechanical equipment

Cylindrical fixation of bearings, rings and shafts

In cylindrical assemblies, clearances between parts can lead to micro-movements, loss of mechanical retention, or premature wear.

Anaerobic retaining adhesives are used to strengthen the assembly between two metal parts, such as a shaft and a hub, a bearing and its housing, or a bushing and its shaft.

Typical applications :

  • Bearings
  • Rings
  • Arbres et moyeux
  • Pulleys
  • Pine nuts
  • Drivetrain components
  • Cylindrical assemblies in production or maintenance
