Tenax Rivo 15 A and B
Tenax Rivo 15 A and B is a two-part knife-grade epoxy designed for all types of stone. Rivo is one of the strongest epoxies in the stone industry. It will bond to almost any surface. Tenax Rivo 15 is designed for permanent application. The stone will break before the bond will. Suitable for temperatures below 32° as well as extreme heat. Recommended for both interior and exterior applications. The material must be dry before application. Straw in color. VOC Compliant.

Instructions for use
Make sure the surface to be treated is completely dry and clean. Keep the glue and hardeners in their original cans. If using an automatic dosing pump avoid contact with metals made of copper, brass, or similar metals which may rust. Avoid the use of PVC plastic. Use only plastic that is corrosive resistant. Measure out, in either weight or volume, the correct amounts of part A and part B. Mix well using clean tools. Best when applied in a thin layer. Use acetone or butyl acetate to clean tools.
