Racing has never been a non-contact sport.

One bad restart, a little too much curb, or somebody running out of talent at exactly the wrong moment can leave a race car with torn bodywork, cracked composite panels, or sheet metal flapping in the breeze. The car may still be mechanically capable of running, but unless the crew can secure the damage—and do it fast—the day could be over.

That is exactly the situation Dynamat Xtreme Race Bond was created to handle.

Available exclusively through SRI Performance, Race Bond is a fast-bonding crash-repair material designed to help crews make strong, durable trackside repairs and get damaged race cars back into the action. It is quick, versatile, and built to survive the heat, vibration, and punishment that would make ordinary repair tape wave the white flag.

This Isn’t Hardware-Store Duct Tape

Let’s get one thing straight: Race Bond may come in sheets and stick to bodywork, but this is a long way from the roll of silver tape rattling around in the bottom of your toolbox.

Dynamat Xtreme Race Bond is a proprietary, lightweight constrained-layer material constructed from butyl and aluminum. It conforms closely to contours and irregular surfaces while bonding to many of the materials found on modern race cars, including sheet metal, fiberglass, plastic, carbon fiber, and painted panels.

That means a crew can cut it to the required shape and use it to cover, reinforce, or secure damaged bodywork without wasting precious time on a complicated conventional repair.

Race Bond can serve as either a temporary or semi-permanent bond, making it useful for much more than emergency pit-lane triage. Professional teams, grassroots racers, fabricators, and performance shops can all keep it nearby for those moments when something needs to be held together—and needs to stay that way.

Cut It. Stick It. Send It.

Race Bond is engineered around one reality of motorsports: the clock does not care how difficult the repair is.

The material can be cut to shape with scissors, a knife, or a die before the release liner is removed. Once the surface has been cleaned of dirt, grease, moisture, and debris, the crew peels off the backing, positions the material over the damaged area, and presses it firmly into place.

A DynaRoller is recommended for larger sections to maximize adhesion and reduce trapped air, but the process does not require specialized heating equipment or a lengthy curing procedure. No heat is necessary to activate the material.

When seconds matter, that simplicity is a serious advantage. Cut it, peel it, press it down, and get the car ready to go back to war.

Built to Take a Beating

Making a repair in the pits is one thing. Keeping that repair intact after the car returns to speed is another.

Once back on track, damaged bodywork may be subjected to intense vibration, aerodynamic pressure, exhaust heat, tire debris, rapid temperature changes, and the possibility of even more contact. Race Bond was developed specifically for that hostile environment.

Its performance is optimized between 14 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, while the material can withstand temperature extremes ranging from -65 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It is also highly resistant to aging, giving crews a repair material designed to remain dependable beyond the moment it is installed.
