PRODUCT INFORMATION
REMA SOFT RUBBER PASTE
General properties
REMA SOFT RUBBER PASTE is a solvent free, elastic, cold hardening soft rubber
repair paste based on a modified polybutadiene rubber (BR).
REMA SOFT RUBBER PASTE, applied in conjunction with PRIMER R, gives an
excellent adhesion to various substrates such as steel, soft and hard rubber linings,
graphite and acid resistant ceramics.
The excellent properties of REMA SOFT RUBBER PASTE are its good chemical
resistance against non-oxidising mineral acids, bases, aqueous phases and especially
against media containing a high amount of solids.
REMA SOFT RUBBER PASTE can be used in a temperature range from - 40 °C to +
90 °C.
Fields of Application
REMA SOFT RUBBER PASTE has been developed for the repair of rubber lined
vessels, pipes, rollers and drums, chutes, and channels and further for the transition
areas of hard and soft rubber lining on flange facings.
Application Examples
a) Repairs of Rubber lined drums, rollers, support rollers, chutes, and channels
b) Repairs to wear resistant rubber linings of polymers based on natural,
styrolbutadiene- and nitrile rubber as well as on polyurea systems
c) Filling of groves and impact areas of rubber lining, such as in hoppers and coal
bunkers.
d) Repairs on soft rubber linings on a hard rubber under-layer, in the soft rubber level.
e) Repairs on flange lip areas, which are subsequently covered by flange gaskets.
(Maximum half the length of the bevel)
f) Repairs of special rubber linings based on bromobutyl, chloroprene and
chlorosulfonated polyethylene polymers.
Surface Preparation
The surface to be repaired must be free from oil, grease and chemicals and is to be
ground with a 24 grit grinding disc and if necessary cleaned with cleaning fluid.

Application
a) Application of the primer
Apply one thin coat of the PRIMER R to thoroughly cover the complete repair area.
This applied primer should be allowed to dry for at least 2 hours at + 23 °C ± 2 °C.
b) Repair with REMA SOFT RUBBER PASTE
Shortly before use, mix components A and B of the REMA SOFT RUBBER PASTE,
avoiding trapping air as far as possible, until a paste is produced which can be applied
with a trowel.
Apply the paste with a trowel on to the prepared repair area.
Metal surfaces and joint areas should be covered thinly with the paste, before these
areas are filled to the required thickness, preventing any blisters or air being trapped.
When applying the paste, assure that no cavities remain.
Hardening
The product hardens in approx. 24 hours at + 23 °C ± 2 °C. This period can be
shortened by warming the area at approximately + 60 °C with either warm air or
radiators.
Where necessary the repair area could be surface ground after hardening.
