Renia, Rehagol, Primer for Thermoplastic Rubber, Multiple Sizes

Renia Rehagol Primer for Thermoplastic Rubber

Renia Rehagol is a professional-grade surface primer developed to improve adhesion on thermoplastic rubber (TR) and similar difficult-to-bond materials. Designed for footwear, orthotic, and leathercraft applications, Rehagol prepares low-surface-energy substrates so contact adhesives can achieve stronger, more reliable bonds.

TR and certain synthetic sole materials can resist standard adhesives without proper surface treatment. Rehagol works by chemically activating the substrate, promoting improved wetting and bond strength when used with compatible Renia adhesives. This makes it an essential preparation step for professional shoe repair, sole attachment, and multi-material assemblies involving thermoplastic rubber.

Easy to apply by brush, Rehagol integrates smoothly into workshop workflows and helps reduce bond failures on challenging synthetic components.

Key Features:

• Professional-grade adhesion promoter for TR materials
• Improves bond strength on difficult synthetic surfaces
• Designed for thermoplastic rubber and similar substrates
• Enhances performance of compatible contact adhesives
• Fast-drying formula for efficient workflow
• Brushable consistency for controlled application
• Essential prep step for reliable TR bonding

Designed For Use On:

• Thermoplastic rubber (TR)
• TR soles and components
• Certain synthetic and low-energy rubber materials

Always test before use on unfamiliar materials.

Application Instructions:

1. Prepare the surface
Ensure the TR surface is clean, dry, and properly roughened if required.

2. Apply primer
Apply a thin, even coat to the TR surface using a brush.

3. Allow to dry
Let the primer dry according to instructions before applying adhesive.

4. Apply adhesive system
Follow with a compatible Renia contact adhesive.

5. Bond as directed
Complete the bonding process according to the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions.

Common Uses:

• Preparing TR soles before adhesive bonding
• Footwear construction and repair
• Orthotic and prosthetic fabrication
• Multi-material shoe assemblies
• High-reliability sole attachment work

Safety & Handling:

• Primer only; not an adhesive
• Use only in a well-ventilated area
• Follow all safety guidance on the product label and SDS
• Shipping restrictions may apply
• SDS or MDS for Renia Rehagol (available upon request)
