FIXTOP A and B Tenax Solid epoxy mastic. Two-component, beige-coloured epoxy resin with strong adhesion for bonding marble, granite, stone, quartz, ceramics and stoneware.
FIXTOP A and B Tenax Vertical two-component epoxy mastic in a beige thixotropic paste. Epoxy resin for bonding marble, stone, granite, quartz and ceramics. Fixtop is a resin with excellent bonding strength, good adhesion speed even with low thickness. Fixtop epoxy resin can also be used in mixed bonding such as: metal-stone, ceramic-stone, concrete-stone, concrete-metal, stone-composite panels such as honeycomb. The metal should be sanded before gluing. In this type of bonding it is suggested to check the flatness of the finished piece after one month.
Application:
The resin and hardener must be stored in original cans.
In automatic dosing systems, contact with metal parts of copper, brass and similar alloys that may rust is to be avoided.
Use plastic resistant to corrosive liquids, never use PVC.
Take from the two cans the necessary quantities, IN WEIGHT OR VOLUME, of the two components A and B, in the ratio 1: 1.
Mix vigorously and proceed with use.
Use clean tools during mixing. If necessary add colors and pigments.
Make sure that the material on which the glue will be applied is completely dry and clean.
For cleaning the equipment, use non-greasy solvents such as acetone and butyl acetate.
