Tenax Cera Pasta Paste Wax – 1 Quart, Clear
Tenax Cera Pasta Paste Wax – 1 Quart, Clear
Tenax Cera Pasta in clear is a solvent-free concentrated paste wax supplied in a 1 Quart container that restores lost polish and increases gloss on stone surfaces.
Key Features
- Solvent-free solid wax, which is unusual in this vendor's chemical range - the sealers and enhancers around it are solvent-based.
- Restores lost polish and increases gloss; it penetrates the surface rather than sitting purely on top of it.
- Clear version, for use where the wax must not tint the material. Cera Pasta is also made in black.
- Tenax publishes coverage of 215 to 323 sq. ft.
- Shelf life of 2 years or more.
- Cera Pasta is the current Tenax name; Tewax and Wax Paste are the retired names for the same product.
Who Is This For?
Restoration and maintenance crews bringing dulled onyx, marble, granite, agglomerate and terrazzo back up without a full repolish, and fabricators finishing a job where the customer wants more gloss than the material is giving. It is a maintenance product, applied and renewed, rather than a one-time treatment.
What This Is Not For
A wax is a surface treatment that wears and is renewed, so it is not a substitute for stain protection - an impregnating sealer such as the Tenax Hydrex Natural Effect Sealer is what blocks water and oil in the stone. On dark and black material the clear wax does nothing to hide wear on the arrises, which is what the Tenax Cera Pasta Paste Wax in black is for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cera Pasta contain solvent?
Tenax publishes Cera Pasta as a solvent-free solid wax.
Is Cera Pasta the same product as Tewax?
Yes. Cera Pasta is the current Tenax name and Tewax, or Wax Paste, is the retired one - 'cera pasta' is simply Italian for wax paste. Distributors record the change as 'Wax Paste Clear (Now Cera Pasta Clear)'.
How far does a container go?
Tenax publishes coverage of 215 to 323 sq. ft. for Cera Pasta. The spread depends on how porous and how worn the surface is.
Does the wax seal the stone against stains?
Cera Pasta is published as a gloss-restoring wax, not as an impregnating sealer. Stain protection on natural stone comes from an impregnator that works inside the micro-porosity.
How long does it keep in the can?
Tenax publishes a shelf life of 2 years or more for Cera Pasta.
