INSTRUCTIONS FOR BONDING GEOFLEX SHEETING

Rubber To Rubber Application.

1. Remove all contaminants from the bonding surface by brushing and wiping with solvent or rubber cleanser, followed by scraping with a steel straight edge and allow to dry.
2. Apply, by brush, Geoflex Etch solution to the rubber surfaces, allow the solvent to evaporate completely and the surface to warm up.
3. Mix Geoflex Enhancer with Geoflex Adhesive as recommended on data sheet instructions.
4. Apply one coat of mixed adhesive to each surface and allow the solvent to evaporate.
5. Apply a further coat of mixed adhesive to each surface and allow to become tacky to touch by the back hand.
6. Bring the two tacky surfaces together and apply pressure to ensure intimate contact.

Rubber To Metal Application

1. Shot-blast or use a wire-brush or sander to remove all rust and scales from the metal surface to be lined.
2. Clean the prepared metals surfaces and rubber surfaces with solvent and allow to dry completely.
3. Apply by brush, Geoflex Etch solution to the rubber surfaces, allow the solvent to evaporate and the surface to warm.
4. Mix Geoflex Enhancer with Geoflex Adhesive as recommended on the data sheet instructions.
5. Apply a coat of Geoflex Metal Primer onto the metal surface and allow it to dry.
6. Apply a coat of the mixed adhesive onto the roughened surface and allow it to dry.
7. Apply a further coat of mixed adhesive to each surface and allow to become tacky to touch by the back of the hand.
