PLIOBOND 30 Tan Industrial Contact Adhesive – 1/2 Pint for Flexible Bonding Applications
PLIOBOND 30 is a legendary industrial contact adhesive with a long history in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing applications requiring a flexible, tough adhesive bond between dissimilar materials. Its neoprene-based contact adhesive formula provides excellent bonds between rubber and metal, fabric and foam, leather and substrate, and other flexible material combinations where rigid epoxy adhesives are unsuitable due to the need for bond line flexibility.
As a contact adhesive, PLIOBOND 30 is applied to both surfaces to be bonded, allowed to flash off until dry to touch, then the surfaces are pressed together for an immediate, strong contact bond. This bond mechanism provides instant handling strength without waiting for adhesive cure, enabling efficient production and repair workflows. The tan color of PLIOBOND 30 is compatible with many natural material colors and blends well with rubber, cork, and fabric joint appearances.
The 1/2 pint can format provides a practical quantity for moderate-scale bonding operations, maintenance events, and repair jobs where a larger gallon can would create waste. The can includes a brush applicator for direct, controlled application to the bonding surfaces.

Technical Information
PLIOBOND 30 is a neoprene-polychloroprene based contact adhesive dissolved in an organic solvent carrier. The active adhesive polymer provides a flexible, rubber-like bond film after the solvent evaporates, maintaining adhesion and toughness across a wide service temperature range and under dynamic loading conditions such as vibration and flexing that would crack or delaminate rigid epoxy bond joints.
The solvent carrier in PLIOBOND 30 serves to deliver the adhesive polymer in a fluid, easily applicable form. During the flash-off period after application, the solvent evaporates from the film surface, leaving the adhesive in an active, tacky state ready for contact bonding. Ventilation is important during application to facilitate proper solvent evaporation and for worker safety.
Flash-off time before joining surfaces is critical for maximum bond strength — if surfaces are joined while the adhesive is still wet (solvent present), bond strength is compromised by solvent trapping. Proper flash-off results in a dry-to-touch but tacky adhesive film that bonds aggressively on contact with the mating surface. Working in temperature and humidity conditions within the recommended range ensures consistent, predictable flash-off times.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is PLIOBOND 30 used for?
A: PLIOBOND 30 is used for flexible bonding of rubber, fabric, leather, foam, and metal in aerospace, automotive, and industrial MRO applications. It is a contact adhesive that bonds on touch after flash-off.
Q: What is the MPN for PLIOBOND 30 Half Pint?
A: MPN is PBC-30.
Q: How is PLIOBOND 30 applied?
A: Apply PLIOBOND 30 to both surfaces by brush or roller, allow to flash off until dry to touch, then press surfaces firmly together for an immediate contact bond.
Q: Is PLIOBOND 30 flexible after cure?
A: Yes. PLIOBOND 30 forms a flexible, rubber-like bond film that accommodates vibration, flexing, and thermal movement — ideal for applications where rigid epoxy bonds would crack or delaminate.
Q: What size is the PLIOBOND 30 PBC-30 can?
A: PBC-30 is a 1/2 pint (approximately 237 mL) can of PLIOBOND 30 Tan Industrial Adhesive.
