Bonding of rubber
Soudal has a broad range of contact adhesives suitable for all kinds of applications. A common example is repairing the rubber sole of a shoe. A pain, but very easy to achieve a long-lasting repair. Read the instructions below.
Instructions
1. Clean the surfaces
Remove all dirt, dust and grease residue on the two surfaces that you would like to bond.
2. Apply the adhesive
Apply Contact Adhesive uniformly on both surfaces. You can do this straight from the tube for small objects. If you want to bond larger surfaces, use a fine-toothed spreader or brush. Leave it to rest for approximately 10 minutes before joining the components; this is to allows the solvents to evaporate from the adhesive prior to adhesion.
3. Bond it
Press the surfaces firmly together. The force with which you press the pieces against each other determines the final strength of the bond.
Tip
- You can also use Soudal Contact Adhesive to repair the liner of a paddling pool or your handbag or to make small repairs at home.
- Ensure your own safety: work using gloves in a well-ventilated room. If ventilation isn’t possible, we recommend using respiratory protection.
The following is also useful:
- With Soudal Adhesive Cleaner you can degrease and clean the surfaces that you want to glue. You can also use it to remove fresh adhesive stains and residue.
