Bostik Born2Bond acrylic UV adhesives are designed for industrial applications requiring precise, transparent, and durable bonding on various substrates.
The Bostik Born2Bond range of acrylic UV adhesives meets the needs of industrial users seeking a fast, controllable bonding solution compatible with complex parts. These adhesives only cure when exposed to a UV light source, allowing for control over open time, part positioning, and the exact moment of curing.
Once cured, Born2Bond acrylic UV adhesives offer a clear, non-yellowing finish, making them suitable for applications where the visual appearance of the finished product is important. They are used in demanding environments, including electronics, compact devices, glass or plastic parts, high-end packaging elements, and certain industrial assemblies exposed to moisture, heat, or chemicals.
Born2Bond acrylic UV adhesives are designed for easy integration into manual, semi-automated, or automated processes. Depending on the grade selected, they can meet different needs for viscosity, filling, application accuracy, or mechanical strength.

UV curing allows polymerisation to be initiated at the desired moment. This characteristic is useful when parts need to be precisely positioned before permanent bonding. It also allows for better control of excess adhesive visible around the bond line.
Born2Bond acrylic UV adhesives become transparent after curing and maintain a non-yellowing appearance. This property is particularly interesting for assemblies where the adhesive must not alter the appearance of the finished product.
Industrial assemblies can be exposed to temperature variations, humidity, chemicals, repeated handling, or vibrations. The Born2Bond acrylic UV range is designed to provide a durable solution in these environments, with good mechanical strength and low water absorption depending on the specific product.
Bostik Born2Bond acrylic UV adhesives can be used on various materials, including metals, glass and certain engineering plastics. This compatibility is an advantage for manufacturers assembling multi-material parts or wishing to streamline their adhesive product references.
In many industrial products, glass or transparent plastic parts need to be assembled without detracting from the final appearance. The main requirement is to achieve a clean, discreet, and long-lasting bond.
Born2Bond acrylic UV adhesives meet this requirement thanks to their transparency after curing and non-yellowing properties. They can be used for bonding transparent windows, covers, protective elements, display components, or visible technical parts.
In the packaging of perfumes, cosmetics, or premium products, the adhesive must ensure an assembly function without disrupting the design. Visible traces, yellowing, or finishing defects can detract from the perception of the final product.
Born2Bond acrylic UV adhesives are suitable for these applications as they enable clear, precise, and clean bonding. Their UV curing also makes process control easier, especially when assembly requires a regular and repeatable finish.
Electronic components can be exposed to moisture, dust, handling, vibrations, or temperature variations. In this context, the objective is to protect certain sensitive areas without placing excessive stress on the components.
Born2Bond acrylic UV adhesives can be used for coating, encapsulating, or localized protection on printed circuit boards. Their low shrinkage, filling properties, and low exothermic reaction help to limit mechanical stress on sensitive substrates.
The miniaturisation of electronic devices requires adhesive solutions capable of being applied with precision to small surfaces. Connected objects, sensors, compact modules or electronic sub-assemblies often require clean, reliable bonding compatible with reduced geometries.
Thanks to their on-demand curing and compatibility with precision dispensing methods, Born2Bond UV acrylic adhesives can be integrated into electronic assembly processes where control over the deposited volume is essential.
In addition to supplying Bostik Born2Bond UV acrylic adhesives, ADDEV Materials supports manufacturers in adapting adhesive solutions to their specific application requirements. The aim is to facilitate the integration of the product into existing processes, ensure safe application and optimise repeatability in production.
An acrylic UV adhesive is an adhesive that cures when exposed to a UV light source. This technology allows for controlled curing time and provides ample working time to position parts before permanent fixation.
According to the references, Born2Bond acrylic UV adhesives can be used on materials such as glass, metals, aluminium, stainless steel, ABS, PMMA and certain engineering plastics. Preliminary tests are recommended to validate adhesion on the customer's exact substrate.
Yes, the range is designed to offer a transparent finish after curing and to limit yellowing over time. This property is interesting for visible applications, transparent parts, high-end packaging, or certain electronic components.
They can be used in several industrial sectors, including electronics, automotive, premium packaging, compact devices, plastic/glass part assembly, and applications requiring localised protection or encapsulation.
An acrylic UV adhesive is often chosen for its clarity, fast curing, processing flexibility, and compatibility with visible or multi-substrate applications. An epoxy UV adhesive may be preferred for other needs of protection, rigidity, or resistance depending on technical constraints. The choice depends on the application, materials, usage environment, and expected performance level.
