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.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Perfect for CarbonBar Bracket Installations
Bonds CarbonBar carbon fiber brackets to stone and quartz with superior strength. -
One-Component, No Mixing Required
Ready-to-use from the cartridge — simplifies workflow and saves time. -
3–5x the Strength of Silicone
Provides a stronger, more reliable bond under load and over time. -
Immediate Green Strength
Grabs quickly on vertical or horizontal surfaces — no clamps or braces required in most installs. -
No Shrinkage, 100% Solids Formula
Delivers a consistent, durable bead that won’t shrink away during cure. -
Cures on Damp Surfaces, Even in the Cold
Maintains performance in jobsite conditions down to 32°F and on wet substrates. -
Flexible Yet Durable
Withstands vibration and minor movement without cracking or delaminating. -
VOC-Compliant and Solvent-Free
Safer to use, meets Prop 65, CARB, and SCAQMD guidelines.
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.
