Akemi Marble Filler 1000 Transparent L-Special — Knife-Grade Polyester Filler

AKEMI® Marble Filler 1000 Transparent L-Special is a two-component, knife-grade polyester filler and adhesive based on unsaturated polyester resin dissolved in styrene. Its stiff, gel-like body is formulated for vertical work — it stays where you put it, so you can bond, fill, and model corners and edges on upright surfaces. Transparent with a light honey tone that can be tinted to match the stone, it polishes to a high finish and grips natural stone firmly, making it a stone-shop staple for filling defects and laminating slabs.

  • Knife-grade gel — holds on vertical surfaces for filling corners and edges
  • Transparent & tintable — colour with AKEMI® Polyester Colouring Pastes to match the stone
  • Fast hardening — parts ready to work in about 20–60 minutes
  • Excellent polishability and very good adhesion on natural stone
  • Resistant to water, petrol, and mineral oils

Tool CleanerAKEMI® Nitro-Dilution (uncured filler)
Shelf LifeApprox. 1 year stored cool and frost-free in the tightly closed original container
  • Knife-grade consistency stays put on vertical surfaces for filling and modelling corners and edges
  • Transparent body accepts AKEMI® Polyester Colouring Pastes for close colour matching
  • Fast hardening (approx. 20–60 minutes) keeps production moving
  • Excellently polishable to a high finish
  • Very good adhesion on natural stone, also at elevated temperatures
  • Resistant to water, petrol, and mineral oils
  • Can be thinned with Marble Filler 1000 Transparent extra-liquid when a looser flow is needed

Recommended for filling & bonding:

  • Natural stone — marble, granite and similar, especially on vertical surfaces
  • Filling defects, holes, corners, and edges
  • Reinforcing (laminating) natural-stone slabs with glass-fibre products
  • Forming rock substitutes with crushed rock and sand

Keep bond layers thin (< 1 mm) to limit shrinkage (approx. 5–8%). Only moderate adhesion on fresh, alkaline building materials (e.g. concrete). Bonds frequently exposed to humidity and frost have limited durability.

  1. Make sure the surface is clean, completely dry, and slightly roughened.
  2. If desired, tint by adding AKEMI® Polyester Colouring Pastes (up to max. 5%).
  3. Add 1 to 4 g of white hardener paste per 100 g of filler (about 4–5 cm of paste from the screw tube equals 1 g).
  4. Mix both components thoroughly. The mixture stays workable for approx. 3–10 minutes at 68°F (20°C), depending on hardener dose; lower doses and cold lengthen the time, higher doses and heat shorten it.
  5. After approx. 20–60 minutes the filled parts can be further processed (grinding, milling, drilling).
  6. Clean tools with AKEMI® Nitro-Dilution before the filler cures.
  • Wear AKEMI® Liquid Glove or chemical-resistant gloves to protect your hands.
  • Hardener doses above 4% reduce adhesion and impair surface drying; doses below 1% and low temperatures greatly delay hardening.
  • Do not use filler that has already thickened or begun to gel.
  • The hardened filler has a slight tendency to yellow.
  • Once hardened, it can only be removed mechanically or with high heat (above 392°F / 200°C), not with solvents.
  • Industrial chemical product — use only in well-ventilated areas and wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Always consult the AKEMI Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.

Industrial chemical product. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Consult the AKEMI Safety Data Sheet (available from the manufacturer or stein.akemi.de) before use. Technical values are manufacturer figures at 68°F (20°C) and may vary with jobsite conditions.
