Description
Purpose-built polyester filler for travertine holes and voids. Tenax Travertine Filler is a semi-solid polyester filler specifically developed for filling the natural holes, pits, and voids in travertine and similar porous natural stones — a job that standard knife-grade polyester is too stiff for and flowing polyester is too thin for. The semi-solid consistency flows into voids of all sizes without running out, holds its fill level, and cures to a polishable finish that blends with the surrounding travertine surface.
Designed primarily for horizontal applications (floors, countertops, and flat surfaces). Accepts color paste for tone matching. Interior use only; not suitable for temperatures below 32°F. 12-month shelf life.
Key Features
- Semi-solid consistency — flows into voids without running; holds fill level without sagging
- Purpose-built for travertine holes, pits, and voids of all sizes
- Polishable after curing — blends seamlessly with surrounding travertine
- Accepts color paste for precise tone matching
- Designed for horizontal applications
- Interior use only
Compatible Materials
- Travertine (primary application)
- Limestone, sandstone, and other porous natural stones with similar void structures
How to Use
- Ensure the surface is dry, clean, and free of dust and debris
- If color matching, add color paste to the filler before introducing the catalyst — use caution, excess color paste may affect performance
- Mix catalyst at a ratio of 2–3 parts per 100 parts filler by weight (see technical data sheet)
- Stir thoroughly and apply, slightly overfilling voids to account for minor shrinkage
- Allow to cure until excess can be trimmed with a razor blade
- Remove remaining traces with acetone, then grind flush and polish to match surrounding stone
- Do not return mixed product to the original container
- Seal container tightly after use; store between 65°F–77°F; 12-month shelf life
