CarbonBond 1C Enhanced Hybrid Adhesive – Black – 10.3oz Cartridge

Description

One-Component Upgrade for Bonding Countertop Brackets to Stone and Quartz

CarbonBond 1C is a next-generation, hybrid adhesive developed to replace traditional silicone and polyurethane construction adhesives in countertop fabrication. Specifically formulated for bonding CarbonBar, steel or aluminum brackets to the underside of quartz, granite, and solid surface countertops, it delivers 3–5x the strength of silicone, immediate grab, and long-term durability — all in a simple, one-component formula.

This product is an ideal adhesive solution for fabricators using CarbonBar concealed support brackets, offering a clean, fast-curing, and dependable bond that enhances the performance of your reinforcement system. Whether you’re working in the shop or on-site, CarbonBond 1C ensures brackets stay locked in place with no shrinkage, no bubbling, and no guesswork.

Why It’s Better Than Silicone or Polyurethane Construction Adhesive

Silicone Limitations:

• Not paintable

• Weak adhesive properties

• Must fully cure before exposure to moisture

• High odor from acetoxy formulations

Polyurethane Construction Adhesive Limitations:

• Slow skin and cure times

• Reacts with moisture — causing bubbles or outgassing

• Contains isocyanates (health risk)

• Difficult to tool, limited substrate compatibility

CarbonBond 1C eliminates these problems, offering better performance, faster application, and broader compatibility with a wide range of countertop substrates and bracket types.

Recommended Applications

• CarbonBar Concealed Bracket Bonding
  The preferred adhesive for securing CarbonBar brackets to quartz, granite, and solid surface materials.

• Undermount Support Installation
  Reinforce bar tops, overhangs, and floating vanities without relying on visible fasteners.

• On-Site or Shop Use
  Applies and cures consistently in both controlled and unpredictable environments.

Compatible Substrates

• Engineered Quartz, granite, marble, solid surface

• CarbonBar brackets

• Porcelain, glass, ceramic

• PVC, EPS, fiberglass, other plastics

• Concrete, brick, and porous masonry
  (Not recommended for polyethylene, polypropylene, or TPO without testing)
