New Rodding Bonder RD50
Now with improved flow consistency – easier application, same strong bond.
Protect your fabrication with reinforcing rods and our fast curing, high strength RD50
Rodding Bonder RD50 is a methacrylate based Bonder packaged in a 500ml dual component cartridge designed to embed fiberglass or steel reinforcement rods in countertops.
Rodding Bonder RD50 uses a measure-mix-dispense system (cartridge) that combines the strength of an epoxy with the cure speed and consistency of an acrylic. RD50 saves time (10-15 minute cure time), virtually eliminates waste and reduces overall costs.
Rodding Bonder provides excellent bond strength for the various rod options available to fabricators; Steel and Fiberglass rods are both compatible.
