❓ FAQ about Renia Klebfest Contact Adhesive
What materials is Renia Klebfest suitable for?
Renia Klebfest is a versatile polychloroprene contact adhesive suitable for many materials. Typical applications include leather, rubber, rigid PVC, felt, paper, cardboard, wood, veneers, and various rigid plastics. It is especially commonly used in shoemaking, leatherworking, and model making.
It is not suitable for plasticized (soft) PVC, as no durable bond can be achieved. For smooth or non-absorbent surfaces, sanding or using a primer beforehand can improve adhesion.
How long should Renia Klebfest flash off before bonding?
Flash-off time is crucial for bonding performance. Depending on the material, it ranges from 5 to 30 minutes. For thermoplastic rubbers (TR), it is shorter, around 3 to 15 minutes.
The surface should feel “dry-tacky” when tested with a finger – no longer wet, but still active. Bonding too early results in weak adhesion, while waiting too long may exceed the open time and prevent proper bonding.
How harmful are the fumes from Renia Klebfest?
Renia Klebfest contains solvents that evaporate during application, producing a noticeable odor. According to the safety data sheet, the adhesive is highly flammable and may irritate the skin and eyes. Vapors can also cause drowsiness or dizziness.
Therefore, it should only be used in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. Good air circulation is recommended, and direct skin contact should be avoided. For large workshops, extraction systems or respiratory protection with organic vapor filters are advisable.
How should Renia Klebfest be applied correctly?
A durable bond requires proper surface preparation and pressure:
Surfaces must be clean, dry, grease-free, and preferably roughened
Apply adhesive evenly and thinly to both surfaces (by brush or spray)
Observe flash-off time (usually 5–30 minutes)
Press parts together firmly – ideally using a press or roller
The stronger and more even the pressure, the stronger the bond
Initial strength is achieved immediately after bonding, while full strength develops after several hours to days.
How resistant is Renia Klebfest to water, heat, and other stresses?
Renia Klebfest is waterproof and suitable for shoes, leather goods, and other items exposed to moisture. Its temperature resistance is approximately up to +80 °C, which is sufficient for most applications.
For prolonged heat exposure (e.g., car interiors in summer, machinery, or near heating sources), alternative solutions should be considered. UV resistance is not specifically detailed by the manufacturer, so outdoor applications should be additionally protected if exposed to constant sunlight.
