Integra Adhesives® Launches Xi+: Next-Generation Surface Bonding Technology with Enhanced Substrate Compatibility
Enhanced formulation delivers superior performance on porcelain, marble, and sintered surfaces while maintaining trusted Xi characteristics
Durham, NC – October 20, 2025 – Integra Adhesives®, the industry's most recognized cartridge adhesive brand, today announced the launch of Integra Xi+, the next evolution of its market-leading Surface Bonder Xi® adhesive. Building on decades of fabricator trust and field-proven performance, Xi+ delivers expanded substrate compatibility and enhanced versatility while maintaining the familiar application characteristics professionals depend on.
"Xi+ represents our continued commitment to deliver what fabricators need," said Anne Hultgren, VP of Sales for Integra and IPS Adhesives. "Through direct feedback from the field, we identified opportunities to enhance Xi's performance for today's diverse project requirements. Xi+ delivers everything fabricators have loved about legacy Xi, with improved adhesion on increasingly popular surfaces like porcelain."
Expanded Performance for Modern Substrates
Xi+ features enhanced bonding capabilities and substrate compatibility across a wide range of materials. The new formulation delivers particularly improved performance on porcelain, marble, and sintered surfaces—materials increasingly specified in contemporary design projects.
The formulation delivers consistent working time of 10-15 minutes with 20-30 minute fixture time, while maintaining the flow and sag properties fabricators know and trust. With 300+ color-matched options for seamless installations and Greenguard certification for indoor air quality standards, Xi+ addresses the evolving needs of surface fabrication professionals.
Seamless Transition, Same Trusted Value
Integra thoughtfully planned the Xi+ transition to deliver minimal disruption to fabricators and distributors. Xi+ uses the same part numbers to ensure seamless ordering and inventory management. In addition, the familiar application requires no retraining for experienced professionals, while improved documentation features updated SDS/TDS with fewer hazard symbols. All Xi+ products will feature updated labeling while maintaining familiar Integra branding for easy recognition.
"We're not just improving the formula—we're improving the entire fabricator experience," added Anne. "Xi+ allows users to tackle more projects with higher confidence, while maintaining the consistency and reliability that built our reputation."
Xi+ reinforces Integra's commitment to the three pillars that have defined the brand: Color Excellence, Consistency, and Confidence.
New Xi+ will begin shipping in early November 2025.
