Superior Stone Products Epoxy E-1000 & E-1010 – 2-Quart Unit, E-1000, Flowing
Superior Stone Products Epoxy E-1000 & E-1010 – 2-Quart Unit, E-1000, Flowing
The Superior Stone Products Epoxy E-1000 is the flowing, syrup-viscosity grade of Superior's 1:1 transparent epoxy, supplied as a 2-Quart Unit of one quart Part A epoxy plus one quart Part B amine hardener and mixed 1:1 by volume.
Key Features
- Mix ratio 1:1 by volume, Part A to Part B; by weight the ratio is 1.15 parts A to 1.0 part B.
- Gel time 5 to 10 minutes; cure time 2 to 4 hours.
- The 2-Quart Unit is Superior's own kit designation: one quart of Part A and one quart of Part B, not two quarts of a single component.
- E-1000 is the syrup grade of the line, so it flows and levels; the E-1010 in the same kit size is the paste grade.
- Two-component transparent system used for laminating, rodding, and crack and chip repair; Superior publishes no substrate restriction for it.
- Superior also publishes this epoxy in a 2-Gallon Unit.
Who Is This For?
Fabrication shops rodding sink cutouts and filling cracks and chips, where the epoxy has to run into the void and level itself rather than be troweled. The 2-Quart Unit suits a shop mixing small batches at the bench rather than a production line pouring gallons.
What This Is Not For
A syrup-viscosity epoxy will run out of an open miter or off a vertical seam, so it is the wrong grade wherever the bond line has to stand up while it cures; the Superior Stone Products Epoxy E-1000 & E-1010 - 2-Quart Unit, E-1010, Knife Grade is the paste version of the same 1:1 system. It is also a fabrication epoxy, not a setting epoxy, so it is wrong for bonding stone or tile to plywood, backer board, concrete or masonry - the Superior Stone Products E-1500-S Tile & Stone Setting Epoxy is the product for that and mixes at a different ratio.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the mix ratio for the E-1000 epoxy?
Superior's E-1000 transparent epoxy is mixed 1:1 by volume, Part A to Part B, which is 1.15 parts A to 1.0 part B by weight.
How long is the gel and cure time?
Superior publishes a gel time of 5 to 10 minutes and a cure time of 2 to 4 hours for its E-1000 and E-1010 transparent epoxies.
Does a 2-Quart Unit mean two quarts of epoxy?
No. The 2-Quart Unit is Superior's kit designation for one quart of Part A plus one quart of Part B, which mix together 1:1.
What is the difference between E-1000 and E-1010?
E-1000 is the syrup, or flowing, grade and E-1010 is the paste, or knife grade, version of the same 1:1 transparent epoxy. Viscosity is the whole difference between the two.
