1. Product Overview
ProFix Ultra is a solvent-based, neoprene contact adhesive designed specifically for the footwear industry. It creates a powerful, permanent bond that remains flexible under stress, mimicking the natural movement of shoes. Unlike standard consumer glues, ProFix Ultra features a high solids content and advanced polymer technology, ensuring a bond that withstands moisture, temperature fluctuations, and daily wear and tear. It is the go-to solution for professionals seeking an adhesive that delivers consistent, industrial-grade results across a wide range of materials, from leather and rubber to EVA foam and certain synthetics.
2. Key Features
- Unmatched Bond Strength: Forms an instant, powerful tack with a final bond stronger than many of the materials it joins, ensuring long-lasting repairs.
- Exceptional Flexibility: Cured adhesive layer remains pliable, moving with the shoe to prevent cracking or peeling under flex.
- Rapid Setting Time: Features a controlled open time for perfect alignment, with strong initial grab and fast full-cure for efficient workflow.
- Multi-Substrate Versatility: Effectively bonds leather, rubber, PVC, EVA midsoles, fabric, and most common shoe construction materials.
- Water & Weather Resistant: Once fully cured, the bond offers excellent resistance to moisture, humidity, and mild chemicals, extending the life of repairs.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the proper application method for ProFix Ultra?
A: Apply a thin, even coat to both clean, dry, and roughened surfaces. Allow to dry until touch-dry (typically 8-12 minutes). Pre-heating materials slightly can enhance bonding. Align parts precisely and apply firm, even pressure. A hammer or roller is recommended for optimal contact.
Q2: Is it suitable for bonding EVA foam soles or sneaker midsoles?
A: Yes, ProFix Ultra is excellent for bonding EVA and other foam materials commonly used in athletic and casual footwear. Ensure surfaces are clean and abraded for maximum adhesion.
Q3: How does ProFix Ultra perform in hot or humid climates?
A: Its high-temperature resistance formulation makes it ideal for such conditions. The bond remains stable and flexible, preventing common failures like oozing or separation in heat.
Q4: What safety precautions are necessary?
A: Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid ignition sources as vapors are flammable. Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection). Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete handling and storage instructions.
