Description
Fast-curing methacrylate adhesive for stone rodding, sink clips, and structural bonding. Tenax TeRod Cartridge is a two-part 1:1 methacrylate structural bonding adhesive engineered for the demanding applications that polyester and epoxy systems aren’t suited for — steel and fiberglass rodding, sink clip installation, and structural bonding of stone to metal, aluminum, and solid surface materials. Working time of 3–6 minutes with approximately 90% of ultimate strength achieved in 10–15 minutes at room temperature.
⚠️ Important: TeRod is NOT UV stable and will yellow over time. It must not be used for visible countertop seams or color-matched repairs. Yellowing does not affect bond performance, only appearance.
