More info

Superior GOLD is a revolutionary and unique adhesive perfectly suited for use on natural stone, quartz solid surface, sintered and ultra-compact surfaces. Applications include:  mitering, seaming, laminating, rodding, filling, repairing, and more.  Superior GOLD provides excellent mechanical & chemical bonding making it ideal for use when stone is being processed with CNC machines. The cured adhesive is tough and can withstand the pressure exerted by the CNC, absorb freeze/thaw conditions & shock‐loads which is important during transportation of bonded pieces.

Superior GOLD is very light / white (pearlescent / translucent) in color making it ideal for invisible joints, especially on light/white colored stones. Superior GOLD has such clarity and translucency, it can be used “as-is” to pick up the natural colors of the stone and it also makes it easy to color with Superior Coloring Paste to match an infinite number of stone colors.

Perfect for mitering, seaming, laminating and chip repair on all types of natural and engineered stone.  This cutting edge resin technology even outperforms epoxy systems by curing in less than 20 minutes. Superior GOLD does NOT contain Styrene making it ideal for both Indoor and Outdoor applications.

Use: To achieve the best results, the contact surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Before adding the hardener, the resin may be tinted with Superior Coloring Paste to match the color of the stone. The resin is then thoroughly mixed with no more than 1%-2% of the white paste hardener (BPO) by weight. At a temperature of 70°F (21°C), the mixture stays workable for 4-5 minutes. Higher temperatures shorten the working time and lower temperatures extend the working time. After 20 minutes, the adhesive is fully cured and work can continue with the stone. Can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. Do NOT store above 75°F (24°C).

Storage: Store indoors at room temperature. Do NOT store above 75°F (24°C). High heat and cold temperatures will adversely affect the shelf life. Avoid storage in direct sunlight and where freeze/thaw conditions may exist.
