Description:

Bostik Born2BondTM Pipe Sealing anaerobic adhesives are a reliable, adaptable solution, suitable for all types of threaded metal pipes and fittings, and both new installations and preventative maintenance. Filling and sealing all voids, these single component adhesives provide 100% surface-to-surface contact, achieving a cohesive, durable connection that will not fail even when subjected to vibration, extreme temperatures or chemical substances. A convenient, cost-effective alternative to conventional sealing alternatives like hemp or PTFE tapes, these adhesives eliminate the need for additional inventory.
