Akemi ColourBond Pre-Tinted Two-Component Cartridge Adhesive
AKEMI® Colour Bond is a gel-like, two-component, colour-matched bonding compound based on epoxyacrylate resin dissolved in styrene. Pre-tinted from a palette of more than 50 shades, it is engineered for seamless, colour-adjusted bonding of engineered (quartz) stone as well as natural stone, ceramics, and large-format techno ceramics. Its smooth, slightly gel-like body does not form filaments, cures fast, and polishes beautifully — so joints on Silestone, Caesarstone, Dekton, Neolith and similar surfaces virtually disappear. Supplied in the 250 mL twin cartridge for clean dosing and mixing through a static nozzle.
- Colour-matched — more than 50 pre-tinted shades for near-invisible seams
- Very fast hardening — grind, mill or drill in about 20–40 minutes
- Excellent polishability with very good surface drying
- Cartridge system — smooth, filament-free flow; easy dosing and mixing
- Food-contact safe once hardened — certified by an external German testing institute
- Low VOC — 12 g/L (ASTM D2369)

Recommended for colour-matched bonding of:
- Engineered / quartz stone — e.g. Caesarstone®, Silestone®, Zodiaq®, Corian®
- Natural stone and ceramics
- Large-format techno ceramics — e.g. Dekton®, Lapitec®, Neolith®, Laminam®, Kerlite®, Maxfine
Keep bond layers thin (< 1 mm). Only moderate adhesion on fresh, alkaline building materials (e.g. concrete). Bonds frequently exposed to humidity and frost have limited durability.
- Thoroughly clean, dry, and slightly roughen the surfaces to be bonded.
- Remove the clasp, insert the cartridge in the gun and work the grip until material emerges from both openings, then screw on the mixing nozzle. Discard the first 4 in. (10 cm) pressed from the nozzle.
- Keep bond layers as thin as possible (less than 1 mm) to limit shrinkage and heat build-up.
- The 6-minute type stays workable approx. 5–7 min; the 12-minute type approx. 10–12 min at 68°F (20°C). Do not work the 12-minute type below 68°F (20°C).
- Work can continue on the cured bond (grinding, milling, drilling) after approx. 20–30 min (6-minute type) or 30–40 min (12-minute type) at 68°F (20°C). Curing is accelerated by heat and delayed by cold.
- Clean tools with AKEMI® Nitro-Dilution before the product cures.
- Wear AKEMI® Liquid Glove or chemical-resistant gloves to protect your hands.
- Do not use product that has already thickened or begun to gel.
- The hardened product has a very slight tendency to yellow.
- Once hardened, it can only be removed mechanically or with high heat (above 392°F / 200°C), not with solvents.
- Use AKEMI® original mixing nozzles only; after use, remove the nozzle and reseal with the original clasp.
- Industrial chemical product — use only in well-ventilated areas and wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Always consult the AKEMI Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.
Industrial chemical product. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Consult the AKEMI Safety Data Sheet (available from the manufacturer or stein.akemi.de) before use. Technical values are manufacturer figures at 68°F (20°C) and may vary with jobsite conditions.
