DESCRIPTION AND RECOMMENDED USES: 100% solids, Dura-Coat Rubber-Flex 900 is a high elongation, elastomeric, hybrid-epoxy. It is ideally suited for rubber repair, and it is completely compatible with metal and other substrates. The elastomeric aspect delivers a tough, flexible resilience while the epoxy aspect provides improved water and chemical resistance and shelf stability, while the ceramic reinforcement increases the abrasion resistance. It is ideal for repairing conveyor belts, pulleys and tank rubber lining. Dura-Coat Rubber-Flex 900 is easily applied up to 500 mils without slump.

Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is critical to the long-term performance of the Dura-Coat Rubber-Flex 900. The Surface must be clean and rough. Prepare using a power tool with a wire wheel. Clean with solvents (acetone, xylene, alcohol or MEK) and cloth towel. No need to use primers, Dura-Coat Rubber-Flex 900 go direct to the rubber or metal.
Mixing
Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with mixing stick scraping sides and bottom of container or mixing board. Mix by weight 9-parts Base to 1-part Activator. Mix thoroughly to produce an even colored and streak-free material. THINNING: Never thin.
Application
Dura-Coat Rubber-Flex 900 can be applied with a squeegee and putty knife.
To avoid sagging in vertical surfaces, the maximum recommended thickness per coat is 12,7 mm (500 mil).
