Use for bonding: EVA, Leather, Rubber, PU, Cork, PVC (Hardened), PPC, PE, Plastics and Textiles.

Instructions for use:

Sand, grind or rough all materials prior to bonding to increase surface area.
Clean and remove all grinding dust and fibres.
Apply a thin, even coat of adhesive to both materials.
Leave to dry for 10 minutes prior to bonding, this allows the solvents used to dissipate, ensuring the strongest possible bond.
Press and hold surfaces together for 1 minute.

FAQ

What is Polychloroprene Contact Adhesive?

Commonly known as neoprene adhesive, is a type of synthetic rubber-based contact adhesive. It is formulated from polychloroprene - a type of chloroprene rubber. Neoprene adhesives are valued for their excellent bonding properties to various substrates, including rubber, fabric, leather, plastics and metals.

These adhesives are known for their:

Flexibility: They maintain adhesion even under stress, vibration, or movement.

Resistance: They exhibit good resistance to heat, oil, water, and many chemicals.

Bonding Strength: Neoprene adhesives provide strong and durable bonds.

Why is it called Contact Adhesive?

A Contact adhesive is a type of adhesive known for its ability to create strong, instant bonds between two surfaces. Unlike other adhesives that require clamping or sustained pressure - contact adhesives form an immediate bond when the coated surfaces are pressed together.

They are commonly used in various industries and applications, such as laminate work, woodworking, automotive applications, footwear manufacturing, shoe repairs and in the installation of flooring materials like tiles or carpets.

It’s important to follow the instructions above carefully when using these adhesives as they often involve applying the adhesive to both surfaces, allowing it to partially dry and then pressing the surfaces together for a strong, durable bond.
