MG Chemicals 408C-125ML Rubber Renue, 125ml Bottle, Case of 10
MG Chemicals 408C-125ML Rubber Renue — 125ml Bottle, Case of 10
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. Replaces the discontinued 408A-125ML.
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.

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.
Is 408C-125ML a replacement for 408A-125ML?
Yes — MG Chemicals 408C replaces the discontinued 408A formulation. The 408C is the current and improved version of Rubber Renue for all applications previously served by 408A.
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.
Is Rubber Renue available in a larger size?
Yes — 408C is also available in a 1L can format (408C-1L, case of 6) for higher-volume maintenance operations. Contact MTE Solutions for availability and pricing.
