BondLynx

BondLynx by XlynX Materials is a crosslinking agent. It can chemically crosslink “impossible to bond” polymers for enhanced bonding strength and superior mechanical performance. Designed for low-surface-energy (non-functionalized) materials, BondLynx bis-diazirine molecule forms highly reactive carbene intermediates that insert themselves into C–H bonds on adjacent polymer surfaces when activated by moderate heat or ~350nm light. It can be used directly as polymeric adhesives or can be applied to polymer textiles to link and strengthen the fibers. It has proven effective in strengthening ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fabrics for ballistics protective equipment and wind sport applications. Elastomers and damp surfaces can be bonded with BondLynx, thereby opening broad opportunities for novel medical and dental applications.
