The long standing ability of Alpha adhesives to bond rubber and plastic products has led to a proven dominance in the supply of adhesives for the manufacture of inflatable dinghies, life rafts, escape chutes, buoyancy aides and wet/drysuits.

Alpha S2000 and S5001 are generic products in this industry and are used extensively for bonding seams and pockets. In many industries, the adhesive component of the finished product represents a small percentage of the overall cost, but its importance in terms of the quality and durability of the finished product assumes much greater proportions. This is particularly the case in the inflatables and drysuit market. S2193 was specifically developed to give good adhesion to a variety of natural and synthetic rubber surfaces. Again this product is widely used in the manufacture of inflatables, ribs and general rubber goods.
