What is Eli-Flex? Eli-Flex is a two-part polyurethane resin system designed specifically for repairing damaged rubber conveyor belts and other rubber-based equipment. Once mixed, it becomes a flexible yet tough compound that bonds directly to rubber, metal, and urethane surfaces.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply Eli-Flex

  1. Surface Prep: If possible bevel edges of repair area. Use a grinder wheel (on slowest speed) or a wire brush to roughen the surface. Clean the area of any debris.

  2. Mix Resin: Open the twin-pack and mix the two components by kneading the pack until fully blended (about 3-5 minutes)

  3. Apply: Cut a corner of the pouch and apply the resin directly onto the damaged area.

  4. Shape & Smooth: Use a trowel or spatula to shape the resin. It will begin curing in minutes.

  5. Cure: Allow to cure. Usable cure typically reached within a few hours. Full strength in 24 hours.
