MG Chemicals 408C-1L Rubber Renue, 1L Can, Case of 6
MG Chemicals 408C-1L Rubber Renue — 1L Can, Case of 6
MG Chemicals 408C Rubber Renue is a professional rubber restoration solvent that rejuvenates hardened, dried, and tacky-loss rubber parts. It works by causing rubber cells in belts, platens, rollers, and seals to swell, allowing embedded dirt, ink, and contaminants to be wiped away easily. When the solvent evaporates, the rubber returns to its original form — refreshed, tacky, and ready for service. The 1L can format is ideal for higher-volume maintenance operations.
Attention: This product utilizes strong solvents and is intended for use in professional maintenance and repair operations. Use only in well-ventilated areas or exterior environments exhausted safely outside the building.

Features & Benefits
- Restores Rubber Tackiness — revives grip on platens, rollers, and conveyor belts that have hardened or lost adhesion
- Rejuvenates Hardened Rubber — restores flexibility and elasticity to old, dry, cracked rubber parts
- Deep Cleaning Action — solvent causes rubber cells to swell, releasing embedded dirt, ink, and sticky residues for easy wipe-away removal
- Non-Damaging Formula — rubber returns to original form after solvent evaporates; no permanent swelling or deformation
- Production-Volume Format — 1L can is optimized for high-volume maintenance operations and frequent-use environments
- Wide Rubber Compatibility — effective on belts, platens, rollers, conveyors, gaskets, and seals
Application Instructions
- Wear gloves and use appropriate PPE to prevent breathing vapors
- Apply a small amount to a clean, dry cloth — just enough to dampen it
- Wipe the dampened cloth onto the platen, roller, or belt surface until clean
- Allow to fully dry until Rubber Renue has completely evaporated
- Store used cloth in a sealed container until it can be washed or safely discarded
Applications
- Restoring tackiness and grip on printer platens and feed rollers
- Rejuvenating rubber conveyor and drive belts
- Cleaning and conditioning rubber gaskets and seals
- Removing ink, dirt, and sticky residues from rubber surfaces
- High-volume preventive maintenance of rubber parts in printing, imaging, and industrial equipment
Technical Documentation
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MG Chemicals Rubber Renue (408C) used for?
Rubber Renue 408C is used to restore hardened, dried, or tacky-loss rubber parts in printers, copiers, industrial equipment, and other machinery. It rejuvenates platens, feed rollers, drive belts, conveyors, gaskets, and seals that have lost their grip, flexibility, or elasticity over time.
How does Rubber Renue work?
408C is a blend of highly volatile solvents that cause the rubber cells of belts, platens, and rollers to temporarily swell. This swelling releases embedded dirt, ink, and contaminants so they can be wiped away easily. Once the solvent fully evaporates, the rubber cells return to normal size — refreshed, tacky, and ready for service.
What rubber parts can 408C be used on?
408C is effective on platens, feed rollers, conveyor belts, drive belts, gaskets, and rubber seals. Always test on a small inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility with your specific rubber compound before full application.
Does Rubber Renue require ventilation?
Yes — 408C uses strong volatile solvents and must be used in a well-ventilated area or exterior environment with exhaust directed safely outside the building. Do not use in enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation. Follow all SDS safety guidelines.
What is the difference between the 408C-125ML and 408C-1L?
Both contain the same 408C Rubber Renue formulation. The 125ml bottle (case of 10) is suited for occasional or bench-level maintenance use. The 1L can (case of 6) is more economical for higher-volume or production maintenance environments where Rubber Renue is used frequently.
What is the net volume of the 408C-1L can?
Despite the 1L designation, the net volume is 945ml per can. Net weight is 817g. The product is sold in a case of 6 cans.
