If you are a countertop fabricator, installer, or kitchen designer, then you are aware of the myriad of surface products available to the modern consumer. When working with natural stone, quartz (engineered stone), sintered stone products, or solid surface products such as Corian and Meganite, you will need an adhesive to bond your joints that matches the color of your surface as closely as possible. With the increase in popularity of mitered and laminated edges, the need for an adhesive that will result in an invisible seam becomes all the more critical. That’s where our Chem-Set color matching website tool comes in handy. This simple-to-use online tool provides you with the right seaming adhesive color to precisely match natural stones as well as products from many of the most popular surface manufacturers in the industry.

Color Match Tool

Our very own Seaming Adhesive Color Match Tool allows you to match and compare the surface you are using for your project with the appropriate Chem-set Seaming Adhesive color. Users choose the type or manufacturer of their surface and select from the numerous color options. Once both the surface manufacturer and color are selected, the tool displays the color name and part number of the matching adhesive. There are dozens of surface manufacturers to choose from, and many more colors to provide you with the color match you’re looking for. For example, we will choose Corian (a popular solid surface manufacturer). Once this is selected, a list of Corian colors is generated in the drop down menu below. We will chose “Sandstone”. The search yields our matching adhesive colors. Most surfaces will have color matches for both our original Chem-set C-19 series and our new and improved C-20 series. In this example the color matches are “Clay” and “Stone” for the C-19 and C-20 respectively. Depending on customer preference and availability, either the C-19 or the C-20 product can be used and both are appropriate matches for the selected surface material. As you can see, with just a few clicks you can come up with the perfect match for your next project and order it on the spot!

C19 and C20 – For Use on Solid Surface and Quartz

The Chem-Set C-19 and C-20 are two-part methacrylate adhesives designed for the seamless bonding of solid surface and quartz. These formulas are UV stable, non-yellowing, and have the ability to reach 90% of total bonding strength just 25 minutes after curing at room temperature. Chem-Set’s Methacrylates also boast the fastest initial strength and quickest “routable” time from the point of dispensing than any other contemporary adhesive available in the marketplace. Although the original C-19 series is an incredible seaming adhesive the new C-20 series offers the following improvements:

• Slightly faster gel time
• More aggressive bond
• More colors — 90+!
• Three available cartridge sizes: 50ml, 250ml, and 490ml
• Brighter Whites

C30 Marblemaster – For Use on Marble and Granite, Quartz and Engineered Stone Products

Unlike the C-19 and C-20, the new C30 Marblemaster was designed specifically for use with marble, granite and other natural stone products. Due its inherent advantages, some fabricators may prefer this adhesive for use with Quartz and sintered stone products such as Dekton and Lapitec as well. With over 90+ colors, this brand new adhesive is finally what many fabricators of granite and marble have been looking for. What is the difference between our C30 and our C19/C20? Let us tell you:

• Excellent color matches for difficult-to-match varieties of marble and other white/off-white stones.
• This is a 4th generation seaming adhesive designed by fabricators for fabricators.
• No more use of epoxies which can yellow over time. Consistent, repeatable results.
• Available in convenient cartridges (50ml, 250ml and 490ml)/ Faster application than hand mixing.
• Compatible with industry standard dispensing guns.
• Non-sag, No-drip formulation.
  • No more dripping on the shop floor which results in wasted adhesive,and a mess you do not want to clean.
• No guessing when the adhesive is fully mixed.
  • The coloring is in now in the hardener side thus letting you know every time your adhesive is mixed properly through the mixing nozzle. If it comes out Clear, you are not mixed!
• Stronger bonds to stone, sintered stone and quartz than competing products.
• No cross-contamination.
• Our newly designed dual outlet cartridge does not let the resin and hardener sides touch when going into the nozzle. This prevents the adhesive from curing and clogging your adhesive the next time you need it.
