Application

Rexline REXBOND is a fast curing, chloroprene based adhesive supplied along with hardener. The hardener is thoroughly mixed with the solution immediately before applying the material.

Bonding Procedure

A minimum of  2  coats  need to  be applied using a clean brush. The first  coat should be allowed to dry completely (at least 1 hour) before applying the second coat.  During application, make sure that there is  no buildup of  material. After  application of the second coat, the surface should be allowed to dry to  a tack. This can be tested  by  using the back of  your hand. The surface should be dry but still have a tacky feeling. If there is  no tack after  a second coat,  an additional coat  may be applied.Surfaces must be tacky when bonded together. After joining the two  surfaces, for conveyor belts, a Rexline Double Acting Roller may be used to apply pressure across the entire surface until the solutions dries.

Preparation of  Surface for Rubber to Rubber Bonding

Both surfaces should first  be cleaned using Rexline Cleaning Solution. For rubber that does not have Rexline Bonding Layers, once dry, the surface should be buffed to a rough finish using a buffing  machine with  a  maximum speed of 2000 rpm and grain size of 36 max. The surface should be removed of any rubber dust and cleaned using Rexline Cleaning Solution. Once cleaned the bonding procedure detailed in our splicing manual may be followed.
