Renia, Syntic-TOTAL, Vinyl Adhesive

Renia Syntic-TOTAL Vinyl Adhesive

Renia Syntic-TOTAL is a professional-grade polyurethane contact adhesive engineered specifically for demanding footwear, vinyl, and multi-material leathercraft applications. Known for its strong resistance to plasticizers and reliable bond strength, Syntic-TOTAL is well suited for bonding PVC and other synthetic materials that can challenge standard contact cements.

Designed for versatility in both repair shops and production environments, this high-performance adhesive delivers fast crystallization and dependable handling strength shortly after bonding. It supports both cold bonding and heat reactivation workflows, giving makers flexibility across different shop processes. The clear-drying formula helps preserve the appearance of finished goods while providing a tough, flexible bond for high-stress applications.

Syntic-TOTAL is widely used in footwear manufacturing and orthotic work where vinyl and synthetic components must be bonded securely and consistently.

Available Sizes:

Quart (32 fl oz) - Brush attached to cap
Gallon (128 fl oz)

Key Features:

• Professional-grade polyurethane contact adhesive
• Excellent plasticizer resistance for vinyl and synthetics
• High initial bond strength with fast crystallization
• Strong, flexible bond for demanding applications
• Suitable for cold bonding or heat reactivation
• Clear, non-yellowing finish
• Smooth, brushable consistency
• Toluene-free formulation

Effectively Bonds With:

• Leather
• PVC (vinyl)
• PU and TPU
• Rubber
• TR (thermoplastic rubber)
• Latex and Perbunan
• Felt

• Fabric and many common footwear materials

Not recommended for Polyethylene or Polypropylene. EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) compatibility depends on formulation and surface preparation.

Application Instructions:

1. Prepare the surfaces
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of oils, dust, or finishes. Lightly roughen smooth materials such as PVC or rubber for improved adhesion.

2. Apply adhesive
Apply an even coat to both mating surfaces using a brush or roller in a well-ventilated area.

3. Allow to tack
Let the adhesive dry until tacky (typically approximately 5 to 30 minutes depending on material and conditions).

4. Bond surfaces
Join surfaces carefully and apply firm, even pressure. Repositioning is limited once contact is made.

5. Cure fully
Bond strength continues to increase over approximately 24 to 72 hours. Heat reactivation may be used if the open time is exceeded.

Common Uses:

• Bonding vinyl (PVC) components
• Footwear construction and repair
• Orthotic and prosthetic fabrication
