Product Description
K-Bond ICON Flowing Adhesive
High-adhesion, translucent-clear flowing adhesive designed for bonding, laminating, seaming, mitering and repairing natural stone, engineered stone, quartz, porcelain, ceramic, glass and other dense surfacing materials.
Versatile, High-Strength Adhesion for Stone and Surface Fabrication.
K-Bond ICON Flowing Adhesive is a specialized polymer-blend adhesive developed for professional stone fabrication, installation and repair applications. Its high-adhesion formula provides a versatile bonding solution for natural stone, engineered stone, quartz, ceramics, porcelain, glass and other dense surfacing materials.
The colorless, translucent-clear formulation makes ICON particularly useful when working with light and white materials where adhesive appearance is important. The adhesive can also be tinted to coordinate with the surrounding substrate, making it suitable for seams, miters, laminations, edge repairs and chip-filling applications.
ICON can also be used for reinforcement applications involving metal or fiberglass rods. According to the manufacturer, ICON is K-Bond's strongest formula and provides strength comparable to epoxy while offering improved UV stability and suitability for both interior and exterior applications.
The adhesive uses BPO hardening paste, with a 2% hardener ratio recommended for the best color and cure. Its listed working time of 5 to 7 minutes provides time for positioning and assembly before the adhesive begins to set.

Mixing and Application Directions
- Make sure the surfaces being bonded are clean, dry and free from foreign substances.
- Measure the appropriate amount of ICON adhesive and BPO hardening paste.
- Use a 2% hardener ratio when following the supplied recommendation for the best color and cure.
- Carefully combine the adhesive and hardener, scraping the sides and bottom of the mixing container to ensure thorough mixing.
- Avoid aggressive stirring, which can trap air in the adhesive and create bubbles.
- Do not overwork the adhesive, as excessive mixing may cause the product to become thinner.
- Apply and position the material within the available working time.
- Do not use the adhesive after gelling has begun.
Safety Precautions
