Its fast-evaporating solvent formula swells rubber cells to release embedded dirt and contaminants, leaving surfaces clean and tacky for optimal grip. Ideal for vintage machinery maintenance, it requires careful use with proper ventilation and protective gear. ## Description 408C Rubber Renue restores old rubber parts that have hardened and lost their tackiness and flexibility. It causes the rubber to swell, allowing dirt to come out of its pores. When the solvent dries, the rubber returns to its form and remains tacky, allowing rollers and platens to retain their grip. Applications and Uses: 408C Rubber Renue restores the tackiness of platens and rollers, helps to remove dirt, ink, and sticky residues, and may also restore the flexibility of belts, conveyors, and seals. It works by causing the rubber cells of belts, platens and rollers to swell, allowing dirt particles and contaminants to be wiped away easily. Once the product has completely evaporated, the rubber cells shrink back to normal size and the surface is refreshed and ready for service. Rubber Renue is a blend of highly volatile solvents. These solvents should not be breathed in, or used within a non-ventilated environment. Clean parts in an exterior environment, or under adequate ventilation exhausted safely to outside the building. Rubber Renue performs best when used as follows: Use gloves, and appropriate safety measures to prevent breathing in fumes Apply a small amount of the product to a clean, dry cloth (just enough to dampen cloth) Apply portion of the cloth dampened with Rubber Renue onto platen, roller or belt and wipe until surface is clean Allow area to dry until Rubber Renue has completely evaporated After Rubber Renue has evaporated store cloth in a sealed container until it can be washed or discarded ATTENTION! This product utilizes strong solvents and is intended for use in professional maintenance and repair operations. Features & Benefits Rejuvenates old, dry, and hard rubber Restores tackiness, flexibility, and elasticity Review: Feels and looks like it actually works on typewriters. Very happy. - Used it a couple of hours ago on a 1948 Sterling Continental typewriter's rock hard, and pitted with "full stops", platen. At the time of application, it cleaned and left a stickier platen to the touch than my tried and trusted Platenclene spray. Very happy. Two hours later, the shine has gone as has a lot of the sticky feel but the platen looks and feels better for it. Still happy. I'll give each of my machines a little go with some as and when they come into rotation. Word of warning, the chemical smell is VERY strong. (Like TCP on acid). Use sparingly and in a ventilated room to avoid "issues". Review: Worked for my tape deck pinch rollers - Yes, it's very expensive. But I took a chance and bought it to refurbish the pinch rollers on my 50-year-old Sony TC-788-4 reel-to-reel tape deck. They were glazed, shiny and hard, and would not move the tape correctly. I did two rounds of applying the Renue according to the instructions, with a good cleaning with alcohol after each round of Renue. I got a LOT of black residue off, so I knew the Renue has opened up the rubber surface. Afterwards I did a very light scuffing with fine grit sandpaper. The capstans are now a nice matt color, and they are working nicely. Be sure to use this stuff outdoors or with an exhaust fan; it's very volatile. I wore nitrile gloves. I should have used an eye covering because my eyes watered for a day after using it. After closing the jar, I put it in a thick sealed plastic bag to help contain the fumes. Just be careful, but the stuff really works. ## Features - Rejuvenates and conditions rubber - Rubs off oxidation film - Apply with cloth, brush or swab - Excellent for use on belts, platens, rollers, rubber parts - Use with adequate ventilation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09F53J5HF | | Best Sellers Rank | #244,611 in Beauty ( See Top 100 in Beauty ) #885 in Hair Rollers | | Item model number | 408C-125ML | | Manufacturer | MG Chemicals | | Product Dimensions | 5.12 x 15.36 x 5.12 cm; 108 g | ## Images ![408C Rubber Renue, Rejuvenate and Restore Rubber Belts, Platens and Rollers, 125ml Liquid Bottle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OLHrwKqiL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work on Cricut rubber rollers?** A: Yes.
