Bonstone Materials Introduces Touchstone Glacier for Marble
Bonstone Materials proudly introduces Touchstone Glacier, a breakthrough product developed for light-colored stones such as such as Carrara Marble or Thassos, where the usual adhesives (epoxy, polyester) leave a dark line at the joint.
Glacier is a UV-stable, colorless, fast-curing, laminating adhesive that provides a near-invisible joint–and it will not discolor even if used outdoors.
According to the manufacturer, Glacier solves several drawbacks present in similar products for light-colored stones. Glacier offers a 1:1 mix ratio, making it easier to use. Installers can be confident they are not adding too little or too much activator– a common mistake that will affect cure times. With other adhesives, if mix ratio deviates from a 100/70 or 100/80 ratio, they will not cure. Glacier is very forgiving in its mix ratios, another factor making it easier to use.
Glacier also features significant cost reductions to operations. Mix as little or as much as you need, instead of the entire package. Its fast cure time will be of great benefit to installers, where time is money. The ability to mix just what is needed for the job means less waste, and combined with the longer shelf life fabricators will have less product going to waste just sitting on the shelf.
Finally, Glacier’s UV-stable formula provides peace of mind when creating seams and laminations in expensive white marble. Indoors or out, the seams will not darken with age, and will not stain the stone.
Glacier is now available from Braxton-Bragg. For more information visit their website, www.braxton-bragg.com or call 800-575-4401 or order.
