Will your adhesive work on Corian™?
Yes. Our Surface Bonder SSA is formulated to provide the strongest bonds on the largest selection of materials. It can be used on all the major brands of Solid Surface:
- Acrylic,
- ISO-NPG Polyester,
- Ortho Polyester, and
- Acrylic-Polyester alloys.
For a complete list of surfaces covered see our Colour Charts. If you don’t find what you are looking for – contact us – we strive to keep up with new colours and products and may have already matched it.
Will your adhesives work on Engineered Stone, Porcelain/Ceramic and Granite?
Our Surface Bonder SSA, Surface Bonder ZERO, and Surface Bonder Rapid are all designed to work on all Engineered surfacing materials, Porcelain/Ceramics and Natural Stone. The colours were developed to match. It’s recommended to use Surface Bonder ZERO, and Surface Bonder Rapid for hard surfaces like Porcelain and Natural Stone.
- Cambria®
- Caesarstone®
- LX VIATERA

The wide range of colour options also makes these adhesives an excellent choice for Granite and Natural Stone Fabrication. Watch our videos or contact Integra for advice on fabrication with your surfacing material.
What's the difference between Surface Bonder SSA, Surface Bonder ZERO and Surface Bonder Rapid?
While all three of these products are designed for seamless colour matching on a multitude of surfaces, each have properties that make them more suitable for certain materials.
Surface Bonder SSA (or Solid Surface Adhesive) was developed with Solid Surface fabrication and installation in mind. Its unique formula was designed to bond with acrylic resins, and match the refractive index allowing for seamless colour matches.
Surface Bonder ZERO and Surface Bonder Rapid were designed for use on hard surfaces. Their formulas allow them to penetrate into porous surfaces and using their high shear strength they can bite onto microscopic ridges and perforations in the material to further increase their mechanical bond strength.
