Bostik has developed Born2Bond™ Ultra K85, an adhesive that sets a new standard in the industry. Built to handle extreme conditions, environmentally friendly, and suitable for sensitive applications, Ultra K85 brings cyanoacrylates to a new dimension.
Why Born2Bond™ Ultra K85 Stands Out
-
Unmatched Performance
When durability is essential, Born2Bond™ Ultra K85 is ready to rise to the challenge. Designed to endure harsh environments, Ultra K85 is the first instant adhesive capable of passing the double 85 test for more than 1,000 hours at 85°C and 85% relative humidity. This resilience makes it ideal for applications exposed to weather variations, moisture, and temperature changes, from outdoor equipment to automotive and industrial components. Add to this its oil and water resistance and 30% elonguation to improve impact resistance, and you’ve got a truly versatile adhesive.

Leading the Way in Sustainability
Born2Bond Ultra K85 is part of a new generation of adhesives that includes safety and sustainability with performances:
– It contains 60% bio-based content derived from renewable sources (Arkema Oleris® Advanced Bio-Materials), aligning with modern industry goals for reduced environmental impact.
– Ultra K85 is label-free, making it safer for both the user and the environment, with reduced regulatory and handling restrictions.
– due to its content, Ultra K85 is bio-compatible and carries the medical certification ISO 10993-5, allowing its use in the medical industry
Applications Across Industries
The polyvalence of Ultra K85 makes it a valid choice across many fields:
- General industry: Ultra K85 is a solution for many assembly needs, often relatively small bondlines, on most plastics, metals, rubbers, composites and wood types.
- MRO: for maintenance, repair, and overhaul, Ultra K85’s strength and quick bonding are ideal for daily repair work and fixing broken parts.
- Outdoor products: From sporting goods to equipment exposed to weather, Ultra K85’s resilience to moisture and temperature changes ensures strong bonds even in harsh conditions.
- Medical devices: Ultra K85 meets the tough safety standards for biocompatibility, making it suitable for applications in healthcare.
- Electronics and consumer goods: Low-bloom technology allow for clean, elegant bondlines preserving the design and appearance of consumer products.
Ultra K85: The Future of Adhesives
In an age where sustainability and performance are both important, Born2Bond™ Ultra K85 proves that you don’t have to choose one over the other. It’s an adhesive solution that meets today’s environmental standards while pushing the performance envelope significantly. Whether you’re looking for design solutions in production or innovative maintenance adhesive, Ultra K85 offers performance, sustainability, safety, and peace of mind.
