DATA SHEET
Description:
RPI Splicing Adhesive is a sythentic based polymer adhesive designed for laps, splicing,
and patching, Neoprene, Butyl, and EPDM sheet roofing stock. Splicing adhesives has a long
tack time, and the bond is resistant to aging, heat, cold, water, and gas.
Suggested Uses:
Specifically tailored to make lap splices of Neoprene, Butyl, or EPDM
sheet roofing stock.
- Excellent resistance to aging.
- Good resistance to heat, cold, and water.
- Has long tack time for easy construction assemblies.
- 120 to 140 square feet/gallon adhesive film coverage can be expected.
- One-part system.

Preparation of Substrates:
Clean all mating surfaces by removing all dirt, oil, water, and other
contaminants using Hexaprene.
Application Instructions:
Apply splicing adhesive by brush or roller to clean, dry, grease free
surfaces. Both surfaces to be bonded must be coated with the splicing adhesive. An open
time of 30 minutes or less is recommended before assembly depending on ambient conditions.
The adhesive should be allowed to dry until it does not stick to a dry finger touch.
Post Application Clean-Up:
Toluene is excellent for post application clean-up.
