Bostik Born2Bond Light Lock – Cynoacrylate Adhesive with UV

Born2BondTM Light Lock is a low-odor, low-blooming, dual curing (contact and light-curing), cyanoacrylate adhesives. They are designed for bonding applications that require fast fixturing, coating or surface cure.

The UV- and visible-light cure sensitivity allows rapid bonding through transparent parts and quick curing of light-exposed bulk or surface-coated areas, while the instant bonding capability ensures cure between opaque substrates (contact cure).

Key features

• Dual cure formulation: instant and photo-cure
• Fixture time in 60 s (without light exposure)
• Can be cured with visible and UV-LED light <5 sec
• Long open time without activation
• Dry to touch, tack-free surface cure
• Cure-on-demand of excess material released from bond lines
• Bonds, fills, reconstructs and coats
• Low odor, low blooming
• Available in a range of viscosities: MV, HV and Gel

Directions for use

1. Before applying Born2Bond Light Lock, make sure the surface is clean, dry and grease-free.
2. Apply adhesive to one surface. Do not use items like tissues or a brush to spread the adhesive.
3. Assemble the parts within a few seconds. The parts should be accurately positioned, as the short fixture time leaves little opportunity for adjustment.
4. Bonds should be fixed or clamped until the adhesive has reached the fixture.

• • The product should be allowed to develop to full strength before subjecting it to any service loads (typically 24 to 72 hours after assembly, depending on the bond gap, materials and ambient conditions).

Applications
