DETAILS

Zap-RT (Rubber Toughened)

Maximum Vibration Resistance & Impact Strength

Zap-RT is arguably the strongest cyanoacrylate in the Zap range. The ‘RT’ stands for Rubber Toughened, a specialised formulation containing microscopic rubber particles that allow the cured bond to absorb shocks and withstand high-vibration environments. Whether it is a high-RPM engine mount or a rugged off-road chassis, Zap-RT provides the flexibility and strength needed for the most demanding applications.

Why High-Performance Makers Choose Zap-RT:

• Vibration Dampening: Unlike standard CAs which can become brittle, Zap-RT remains slightly flexible to prevent joint failure under stress.
• Crystal Clear Finish: Specially formulated not to ‘mar’ or fog surfacesessential for maintaining the aesthetic of chrome tyre rims and scale details.
• Ultimate Versatility: Superior adhesion to wood, plastics, composites, rubber, and metals.

Targeted Applications

RC Cars, Trucks & Crawlers

Widely considered the best tyre glue on the market. Zap-RT secures rubber to plastic or chrome rims with a bond that won’t crack during high-speed cornering or heavy impacts. Because it is clear-drying, your expensive racing wheels will look as good as they perform.

RC Aircraft & Marine

High-vibration glow or petrol engines can wreak havoc on standard glue joints. RC aircraft builders trust Zap-RT for engine firewalls, landing gear mounts, and internal bracing. It is equally effective for bonding hulls and internal components in RC boats that endure constant water pounding.

Outdoor & Sporting Equipment

Built to tame the elements. Use Zap-RT for high-impact archery applications, such as securing inserts and fletching, ensuring they stay put even when passing through dense foam targets. It is also an excellent choice for durable repairs to boots, waders, and fishing gear.

Pro-Tips for Industrial Strength Bonds

• Preparation: For the best results on rubber tyres or plastic rims, clean the bonding surfaces with a mild degreaser to remove any release agents.
• Speed Control: As a CA-based adhesive, you can use Zip Kicker to force an immediate set, though allowing it to cure naturally provides the maximum toughening benefit.
• Impact Repair: Use Zap-RT for any repair where two parts will be “banging” togetherthe rubberised formula acts like a shock absorber for the joint.
