Tenax Vertigo T Knife-Grade Adhesive, 5 Gallon Ship Saver

Thick, dripless vinyl ester stone adhesive designed for indoor and outdoor bonding of marble, granite, quartz, ceramic, and porcelain, with a nearly invisible appearance ideal for white and light-colored materials.

Fast-Curing Knife-Grade Adhesive for Light Stone and Vertical Applications.

The Tenax Vertigo T Knife-Grade Adhesive is a thick-consistency vinyl ester adhesive engineered for professional stone fabrication in both indoor and outdoor applications. Its exceptionally light formula becomes nearly invisible when spread, making Vertigo T particularly well suited for white marble, white quartz, and other light-colored materials where the appearance of the adhesive line is critical.

The thick, dripless knife-grade consistency stays where it is applied instead of running down vertical edges or onto the floor. With a gel time of approximately 4 to 5 minutes and a cure time of less than 20 minutes, Vertigo T provides fabricators with a fast-working adhesive for demanding production and installation applications.

Once cured, Vertigo T produces a shiny finish that is easy to polish. The adhesive also accepts color well, allowing a small amount of coloring agent to be used when matching surrounding material. According to Tenax, Vertigo T provides very low yellowing when used in outdoor and UV-exposed applications.
