Akemi Platinum 5.0 P+ — Premium Epoxyacrylate Knife-Grade Adhesive
AKEMI PLATINUM P+ is a premium, two-component adhesive based on unsaturated epoxyacrylate resins. In its knife-grade form it holds on vertical joints without sagging while bonding and filling natural and artificial stone, quartz, and large-format Techno Ceramic. It hardens fast — ready for grinding, milling, and drilling in as little as 15 to 40 minutes — polishes excellently, and cures to a very light, transparent color with improved protection against yellowing. Strong on stone and on porcelain and sintered slabs, resistant to water, petrol, and mineral oils, and food-contact safe once hardened, it is a professional bonding and lamination adhesive for the modern stone shop.
- Knife-grade & non-sag — bonds and fills on vertical surfaces
- Fast hardening — further processable in 15–40 minutes, with excellent surface drying
- Very light, transparent color with improved protection against yellowing
- Strong on Techno Ceramic — improved adhesion on porcelain and sintered slabs
- Durable & polishable — resistant to water, petrol, and mineral oils; food-contact safe after hardening
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Brand | Akemi |
| Manufacturer | AKEMI GmbH, Nuremberg, Germany |
| Product Type | Two-component (2K) epoxyacrylate adhesive, knife-grade |

| Reaction Shrinkage | Approx. 5–8% — keep bond layers under 1/32 in (1 mm) |
| Service Heat Resistance | Good adhesion to 140–158°F (60–70°C); up to 212–230°F (100–110°C) at low load |
| Chemical Resistance | Resistant to water, petrol, and mineral oils |
| Food Contact | Classified harmless after hardening (stone and ceramic bondings) |
| Tintable | Up to 5% with AKEMI Polyester Colouring Pastes / Concentrates or Spectrum Pastes |
| Tool Cleaner | AKEMI Nitro Thinner |
| Available Sizes | 900 mL · 4500 mL |
- Knife-grade, non-sag consistency for bonding and filling on vertical surfaces
- Fast hardening (15–40 minutes) with excellent surface drying
- Excellently polishable
- Very light, transparent color with improved protection against yellowing
- Improved adhesion and bonding strength, also on Techno Ceramic (porcelain / sintered slabs)
- Very good adhesion on natural stone, including at higher temperatures
- Resistant to water, petrol, and mineral oils
- When properly applied, the hardened adhesive is classified as harmless to health for food-contact stone and ceramic bondings
Mainly used in the stone-processing industry for:
- Bonding natural stone, quartz, and ceramics
- Bonding large-format Techno Ceramic (e.g. Dekton, Lapitec, Neolith, Laminam, Kerlite, Maxfine)
- Reinforcing (laminating) natural stone slabs with glass-fiber products
- Forming rock substitutes with crushed rock and sand
- Flat and vertical bonding and filling applications
- Make sure the surface is clean, completely dry, and roughened.
- If color is desired, add up to 5% AKEMI Polyester Colouring Pastes / Concentrates or Spectrum Pastes. Knife-grade can be thinned with PLATINUM P+ clear flowing.
- Add 1 to 3 g of white hardener paste to 100 g of adhesive (about 4–5 cm of paste from the screw tube equals 1 g).
- Mix both components thoroughly. The mixture stays workable for approx. 5–15 minutes at 68°F (20°C), depending on the amount of hardener.
- After 15–40 minutes, the parts can be further processed (grinding, milling, drilling). Heat accelerates and cold delays the cure.
- Keep bond layers as thin as possible (under 1/32 in / 1 mm) because of shrinkage.
- Clean tools with AKEMI Nitro Thinner.
- Keep the correct hardener ratio: more than 4% reduces adhesion and surface drying; more than 3% causes noticeable yellowing; less than 1% or temperatures below 41°F (5°C) greatly delay hardening.
- Do not use adhesive that has already thickened or begun to gel.
- Contains styrene — flammable. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
- May irritate skin and eyes and cause an allergic skin reaction. Provide good ventilation during mixing and curing.
- Industrial chemical product — wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Always consult the AKEMI Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.
