Rodding Compound RD40
Use to Insert Reinforcing Rods into Natural Stone and Quartz Surfaces
- Application Method Eliminates Hand Mixing
- Reduces Labor and Waste to Produces a Low Cost system for reinforcing stone
- Reduce or Eliminate Breakage, (double the flexural strength of most natural stone)
- Adheres to steel and fiberglass reinforcing rods
"Rodding Compound RD40", Integra's newest product, provides a fast curing, low waste, labor saving adhesive for embedding rods in Granite, Marble and Engineered Stone countertops.
"Our customers asked us to produce a cartridge delivered Rodding Adhesive, specifically designed for embedding re-enforcement rods in Natural Stone and Marble".
In consultation with European and North American leading stone fabricators, Integra developed "Rodding Compound".
- RD40".Rodding Compound RD40 is an epoxy based compound packaged in a 250ml dual cartridge designed to increase strength, cut costs, reduce waste and save time when embedding fiberglass or steel reinforcement rods in countertops.
- Testing shows that the process can improve load tolerance up to 300 % and deflection up to1600 %.
- Rodding Compound provides excellent bond strength and flow properties for the different rods options available to fabricators: Steel Flat bar, Rectangular rods, round rods and Fiberglass flat stock are all compatible.
- Rodding Compound uses a meter-mix-dispense system (cartridge delivery) that combines the strength of an epoxy with the cure speed and consistency of an acrylic to combat waste, save time and reduce overall costs.
- Additional properties include a 15 minute cure, low waste static mixers and a cure indicator (color change) to ensure handling strength is present.
Always sand the back of solid surface material to increase surface area, remove process debris and other foreign substances which can interfere with bonding. A coarse grade of abrasive will further improve bond strength
