Groundbreaking New 'Instant' Adhesive for Tough Uses Unveiled
In a groundbreaking development for the adhesives industry, Intertronics has launched Born2Bond Ultra K85, a fast-curing, single-part adhesive that offers exceptional durability and sustainability. This innovative product has passed ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity testing, making it a suitable candidate for use as a medical device assembly adhesive.
As the only single-component fast bonding adhesives which cure in ambient conditions without requiring any external energy source, Ultra K85 stands out for its rapid curing performance. It is notable for containing 60% bio-based material, aligning with industry trends toward more sustainable adhesive solutions.
Ultra K85's exceptional durability is demonstrated by its ability to withstand up to 1,000 hours at 85°C and 85% relative humidity, making it the first 'instant' adhesive to pass the 85/85 testing. This standardized environmental reliability test, designed to simulate harsh, real-world conditions, assesses the durability of products intended for long-term use in challenging climates.
The adhesive provides a clean finish with no white residue without sacrificing speed or bond strength. It also boasts low odour and low blooming characteristics, making it suitable for applications where appearance is important. Ultra K85's fast cure makes it a strong candidate for applications requiring quick bonding, and its durability makes it a strong candidate for applications in outside or harsh environments.
Ultra K85's substrate versatility is another notable feature, as it bonds a wide range of materials, including plastics, rubbers, and metals, making it suitable for diverse industrial applications. Despite its high bio-content, Ultra K85 does not sacrifice performance under challenging environmental conditions.
The new adhesive finds its applications in various sectors, including consumer electronics, automotive and transportation, industrial assembly, and general manufacturing. Its resistance to heat and humidity makes it ideal for bonding components in electronics that may be exposed to harsh environments. In the automotive and transportation industries, it is suitable for applications requiring durable bonds under fluctuating temperatures and moisture levels.
In manufacturing processes, Ultra K85 proves to be useful where rapid, strong, and environmentally responsible adhesives are needed. Across sectors seeking to reduce environmental impact without compromising on adhesive performance, Ultra K85 offers broad applicability.
Born2Bond Ultra K85 represents a significant advancement in adhesive technology by combining sustainability with high performance. It addresses both regulatory and consumer demands for greener products, while expanding the potential uses of cyanoacrylate adhesives into environments previously considered too demanding for this class of material.
