Repair Kit for Rubber Conveyor Belts

ITW Polymers Adhesives North America announced the Devcon R-Flex Belt Repair Kit for coating splice clips on styrene-butadiene rubber conveyor belts, protecting them from damage and preventing them from catching on wiper systems. The kit enables rapid repairs to damaged heavyweight conveyor belts, allowing their return to service in 90 minutes, the company reported.
A hybrid polymer, R-Flex Compound can withstand flexing of clip splices; can be used to repair holes, tears, gouges, and damaged cold vulcanized splices; and can protect hinged and solid plate fasteners. The new formulation offers longer open times in hot climates and improved resistance to crack propagation, the company reported. It can be applied over pulleys as small as 10 in. in diameter, self-levels in three minutes, and provides long-term adhesion and abrasion resistance, the company reported.
