The first wave of products launched under the Born2Bond™ sub-brand will focus on MECA-based instant engineering adhesives,driven by the recent acquisitions of Nitta Gelatin - specialists in UV system technology,and Afinitica - specialists in cyanoacrylate instant adhesive technology.

Of particular significance are new,patented low-odor formulations,which enable a more comfortable manufacturing environment,and low-bloom solutions,a critical feature for producers of high-end goods. The comprehensive collection of instant engineering adhesives raises the bar for all-round performance and are suitable for use in mass production.
