Akemi Marble Filler 1000 THIXO — White Knife-Grade Polyester Stone Adhesive & Filler (1000 mL)
AKEMI® Marble Filler 1000 Thixo is a paste-like, two-component product based on unsaturated polyester resin dissolved in styrene with mineral fillers. Its creamy-soft, thixotropic (non-sag) knife-grade consistency holds on vertical surfaces, dries fast at the surface and hardens quickly, then grinds, mills, drills and polishes cleanly. It is used across the stone industry for filling and bonding natural and engineered stone.

| Brand | AKEMI |
| Product | Marble Filler 1000 Thixo (knife-grade) |
| Basis | 2-component unsaturated polyester resin (in styrene) with mineral fillers |
| Colour | White |
| Consistency | Thixotropic / knife-grade (non-sag) |
| Density | 14.2–14.6 lb/gal (1.70–1.75 g/cm³) |
| Mixing ratio | 1–4% hardener paste by weight (1–4 g hardener per 100 g filler) |
| Working time (68°F / 20°C) | approx. 3–10 min (5–6 min at 2% hardener) |
| Further processing | after 10–20 minutes |
| Hardening | fast, 15–30 minutes |
| Minimum application temperature | 41°F (5°C) — higher temperatures speed curing, lower temperatures slow it |
| Temperature resistance | 158–176°F (70–80°C), up to 212–230°F (100–110°C) at low strain |
| Resistance | Water, gasoline and mineral oils |
| Colouring | up to max. 5% AKEMI polyester colouring paste |
| Shelf life | approx. 1 year (cool, frost-free, sealed) |
- Creamy-soft, non-sag consistency — holds on vertical seams and edges.
- Fast surface drying and fast hardening (15–30 min) for quick further processing.
- Grinds, mills, drills and polishes cleanly once cured.
- Adheres to stone across a wide temperature range; resists water, gasoline and mineral oils once cured.
- Keep bond layers thin (under 1/16 in. / 2 mm); hardener above 4% reduces adhesion.
- Apply above 41°F (5°C) — colder surfaces slow the cure, warmer surfaces speed it up.
Filling and bonding natural and engineered stone on horizontal and especially vertical surfaces — seaming, chip and hole filling, and modelling corners and edges. Commonly used on countertop edge laminations, miters, seams and crack/chip repairs across marble, granite, limestone and travertine. Requires the matching white polyester hardener before use.
Wear appropriate PPE. Follow manufacturer instructions and safety regulations.
