Main features
- Fast-setting general-purpose adhesive with 5-second fixture cure and handling strength reported within 5 to 10 seconds.
- Low 5 cps viscosity combined with documented bonding performance across metals, plastics, phenolic, and rubber substrates.
- Documented grit-blasted steel shear strength of 28 N/mm² and tensile strength of 20 N/mm² under the stated ASTM/DIN test methods.
Product Description
RP5 General Purpose Adhesive is a medium-setting adhesive designed to bond a wide variety of similar and dissimilar materials. The clear, low-viscosity material has a reported viscosity of 5 cps and develops handling strength in 5 to 10 seconds, with full cure in 8 hours. The product is described as providing climatic, thermal, and impact resistance, while its elasticity supports bonding between dissimilar materials. Documented strength testing includes steel, aluminum, ABS, PVC, polycarbonate, phenolic, neoprene rubber, and nitrile rubber substrates.
Key features
- Fast fixture and handling: Fixture cure is reported at 5 seconds, with handling strength developing in approximately 5 to 10 seconds.
- Low-viscosity formulation: 5 cps viscosity supports application where a low-viscosity adhesive is required.
- Broad documented substrate testing: Strength data are provided for metals, engineering plastics, phenolic, and rubber substrates.
Applications / Suitable for
- General-purpose bonding of similar or dissimilar materials
- Bonding applications involving metals, plastics, phenolic, and rubber substrates represented in the documented test data
