Acrylic Penetrating Crack Sealer products are acrylic-based adhesives and fillers designed for use with natural stone, especially granite. They range from clear to translucent in color, fast setting, and are easy to apply. Acrylic Penetrating Crack Sealer is a thin liquid that flows like water and is designed to fill fine cracks and reinforce the stone. All the formulations are cured using a benzoyl peroxide hardening paste.

Applications

These formulas are best suited for interior applications on natural or cast stones. They are especially well suited for granite and marble applications. Uses include consolidating or laminating slabs, repairing or patching broken stones, reinforcing fragile material, and filling porous or chipped stones.

Coloring

Acrylic Penetrating Crack Sealer products are easily colored to match any stone using our Polyester Coloring Pastes. The best shade can be obtained by mixing the product to a shade slightly darker than the actual stone color.

Directions for Use

Acrylic Crack Sealer is most effective when used according to the following instructions:

Preparation

The first step to using this product is to start with a clean, dry surface. This is achieved by taking the following steps:

1. Using an appropriate detergent, clean the surface thoroughly making sure to remove all grease, oil, dust, or dirt from the surfaces to be bonded.
2. Completely dry the surfaces for best results. Although this crack sealing product will bond to most surfaces, dry surfaces respond better and you will get better results if the surface is completely dry.
3. When mixing, the ideal containers for this product are ones made of polyethylene plastic; since this product does not bond well with this type of material.

Mixing Instructions

Just like the method of preparation, mixing this crack sealer works best when the proper procedure is used. The following is a list of things to keep in mind while mixing the mastic and the hardener:

1. If you are coloring or tinting the adhesive, add the coloring paste(s) to the mastic before mixing the mastic with the hardener.
2. Use hardener at the rate of 2% to 4% of the weight of the mastic for the best curing and bond. This is approximately a 1/2″ to 1″ bead of hardener for every tablespoon of mastic.
3. Additional hardener speeds up the curing time. However, it comes at a price, using more hardener than the recommended amount causes a deeper yellowing and reduces the strength of the bond.
4. If too little hardener is used, it will cause the mixture to not cure properly.
5. The curing process can be affected by the ambient temperature. Warmer temperatures speed the curing process, while temperatures below 32°F (0°C) will require heating the mixture to start the curing process.
6. The product should be thoroughly mixed for the best results.
7. The crack sealer remains workable until gelling occurs.
8. This product becomes rubbery when gelling happens.
9. Crack sealer should not be worked once gelling has begun.
10. Excess material may be removed with a razor or chisel.
11. These products should not be worked once gelling has begun.

Application

When bonding stones together, clamps and jigs should be used to ensure a thin bond layer (less than 0.016 inches (0.4 mm)) is achieved, thereby providing the strongest bond. After curing, the stone piece may be further processed without damaging the material.

Clean-Up

After use, equipment may be cleaned with toluene or acetone. Hands should be cleaned with a Waterless Hand cleaner or an appropriate solvent.

Storage Conditions

Always keep the container tightly sealed when not in use, and never expose the hardener to temperatures in excess of 100°F (38°C).

Products are chemically inhibited to extend shelf life and improve product consistency. Storage temperature, however, is an extremely important factor in maximizing the shelf life of the products. The materials should be stored in a cool environment (50°F (10°C)) whenever possible and should never be exposed to direct sunlight.

If these procedures are followed, these products should have a shelf life of at least one (1) year.

Precautions and Safety

Observe all measures as described on the container and product MSDS. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Use protective gloves and work in a well-ventilated area.

Transparent Flowing for granite, marble, engineered stone, quartz, quartzite, stone by Tenax is polyester adhesive glue used to vertically or horizontally repair, rebuild, bond, and fill. Tenax Flowing is a liquid consistency, easy to stir and spread, and will cure shiny.

Tenax Flowing glue is polishable and colors easily match the stone. It cures fast and bonds extremely strong. Cures in lower temperatures. Not suitable for temperatures below 32°. Recommended for interior use.

Tenax Flowing is Italian-made premium liquid glue that offers many outstanding characteristics that fabricators look for in a flowing grade glue. Why is Tenax the best liquid-flowing polyester glue to use on granite and stone?

10 Reasons Why Tenax Liquid Flowing Polyester is Best

1. Fast Cure Time:

   Tenax Flowing Granite Glue cures in about 15-20 minutes with a workable time between 8-10 minutes in real-world shop and job site applications. That gives plenty of time to get the glue on/between the stone, clamped, and finished correctly before the cure time but sets fast enough to not waste time in the shop or in the field.

2. Smooth Consistency:

   The creamy texture of the Tenax Flowoig Stone Glue makes it super easy to work with. Especially when adding color and hardener.

3. Great Transparent Color:

   Tenax made the flowing stone glue with the purest polyester resin available. This gives Tenax Transparent Flowing some of the lightest and transparent polyester glue on the market. In the can it looks very light in color. When spread onto the stone, Tenax Flowing Adhesive becomes very clear and transparent.

4. Easy to Color:

   Because Tenax Transparent is so light in color it makes it super easy to add a tint to color match the stone.

5. Polishes to a High Gloss:

   Tenax Transparent Flowing polishes just like the stone does. This is extremely important when doing seams, filling cracks, chips, or doing lamination work.

6. Extremely Strong Bond:

   Tenax, using premium resin raw materials, has produced one of the strongest polyester bonds in the stone industry. Fabricators are extremely confident that once bonded, Tenax will not fail.

7. Durable for Years:

   Tenax Transparent Flowing is extremely durable after installation. No matter what the homeowner throws at Tenax Flowing; water, oils, chemicals, etc, it will stand strong and be as durable as the stone for years to come.

8. Produced more than 50 Years:

   Tenax has been producing polyester adhesive glues for granite and stone of over 50 years. The successful track record of use and applications have made Tenax a worldwide known company for its quality, consistency in every can, and its long durability.

9. 10%-25% More Glue in the Can:

   Tenax 1 Liter cans are sold by volume of 1 Liter cans of glue. Not weight. Not Quart. That means you get 1000 ML of glue per each 1 liter can of glue. How does that stack up against Tenax competitors? check their label and you will very clearly see. Some sell quarts with 750ml of glue. Some sell 900ml of glue. BUT none of them sell 1000ml of glue. What does that mean for you the fabricator? That means you are getting 10%-25% more glue per can with Tenax. Don’t believe it? Look at labels and compare yourself. Even more, take a Tenax 1 Liter can and place it side by side to one of Tenax competitor cans. The difference is very clear!

10. Great for Rodding:

    Tenax Transparent Flowing is one of the best flowing glues for rodding granite, marble, stone. Weha Carbon Fiberglass Rodding, White Fiberglass Rodding, Plastic Rodding, and Steel Rodding can all be used with the Tenax Flowing to achieve an extremely strong bond to drastically strengthen the countertop for transport and installation.

    Tenax Transparent Flowing is a high-quality polyester mastic used to horizontally repair, rebuild, bond, and fill. Flowing will cure shiny, is very polishable and colors easily to match the stone. It cures fast and bonds extremely strong. Cures in lower temperatures. Excellent for rodding reinforcement on a countertop. Not suitable for temperatures below 32°. Recommended for interior use.

Instructions for use:

Make sure the surface to be treated is dry, clean, and free of dust. If coloring, add the coloring paste to the resin before mixing it with the catalyst. An excess of coloring paste may affect the final product so use caution. The mixing ratio of resin to catalyst is 100:2 – 3. Stir vigorously and apply. Do not place unused products back in the can. Make sure the cans are sealed tightly after use.

Shelf Life:

Keep away from heat, humidity, and sun. The product will last at least 6 months if kept between 65° – 77°.
