Why do so many trust S-18? Probably because it does so much.
RH Adhesives’ most versatile neoprene adhesive bonds both porous and non-porous surfaces, and it resists sunlight, water, oil, and heat. S-18 forms a powerful bond that gets even stronger over time.
S-18 is the go-to choice for the glazing of “drop-in” aluminum windows and is used in the repair and manufacture of fiberglass, Formica, vinyl laminates, EVA foam, and vinyl foam. It’s an excellent way of bonding leather to other substances, too.
S-18 is widely used in the manufacture and repair of a variety of materials to themselves and to each other.
Compatible Materials: Concrete, crepe rubber, EVA foam, fiberglass, Formica, glass, leather, marine vinyl, metals, neoprene, some plastics, vinyl foam, vinyl laminates
