Mapei Ultracolor Plus Coloured Grout Medium Grey 112

Product Information

smooth, compact finished surface with a very fine grain structure, with low water absorbency and therefore easy cleaning;

The surfaces are ready for traffic after 7 days. Water features and swimming pools may be filled up 7 days after grouting. In addition to color scheme, you want to think about maintenance. Unfortunately, grout color is hard to maintain. It’s hardest to maintain in areas that have high traffic and/or where the grout is frequently getting wet. Think of floors, behind sinks and in the shower. For interior and exterior wall and floor grouting of ceramic tiles, porcelain, terracotta, stone material, glass and marble mosaics Sometimes you want the tile to steal the show, so you choose a grout color that blends well, and yet other times you want the grout to get the glory, so you choose a grout color that contrasts with your tile.Finishing: When the mix loses its plasticity and becomes opaque, which usually takes place after 15-30 minutes, clean off the excess Ultracolor Plus with a hard, damp sponge (e.g. a MAPEI sponge), working in a diagonal direction to the joints. Rinse the sponge frequently, using two different containers of water: one to remove the excess mix from the sponge, and the other, containing clean water, to rinse the sponge. This operation may also be carried out with a machine with a sponge belt or rotating disc. When the mix is partially set, after 50-60 minutes, a damp Scotch-Brite® sponge or an abrasive felt disc may be passed over the joints to even out the surface. When resistance to acids or, where extreme cleanliness or sterile conditions are required, use a suitable acid-resistant epoxy grout. Made up of a blend of special hydraulic binders, graded aggregates, special polymers, water repellent admixtures, organic molecules and pigments

Choose a contrasting grout color: Use a contrasting grout color when you want to highlight the tile pattern or create a statement with your tile. For example, using a contrasting grout color works really well to highlight the a cool herringbone pattern. It also completely transforms a rather bland tile like a white subway. Designed for grouting floors and walls in commercial areas subject to intense traffic as well as residential areas good compressive and flexural strength and good resistance to freeze/thaw cycles, and therefore optimum durability; This operation may also be carried out with a special machine with a sponge belt. To make removal of the hardened product from the tiles easier, a dampened Scotch-Brite pad or Kerakoll Cleaning Pad, or a rotating, single-head polisher with a felt disk may be used before cleaning with the sponge.Do not use Mapei Keracolor SF to grout tile joints wider than 4 mm (use Mapei Keracolor FF or Keracolor GG). Our FUGA-PAVE Flex CH grout is part of our FUGA-PAVE ABC system, formulated for landscaping professionals and ideal for use when installing porcelain, natural stone, cementitious flags, cobbles, or in fact any external installation. FUGA-PAVE ABC is very simple to use. Just mix Part A (hybrid mortar cement) with suitable clean grit sand and water. Part B (slurry primer) and Part C (hybrid grout) are each mixed with clean water. No other additives are required. This complete system offers various cost and installation benefits, beating the traditional system. By mixing Mapei Keracolor SF with Mapei Fugolastic, a special synthetic resin-based polymeric admixture, its final characteristics are further improved and it reaches a level of strength which makes it suitable for even the most severe service conditions (grouting façades, high demand leisure pools, power showers and even floors subject to intense traffic). Mapei Keracolor SF together with Fugolastic admix may also be used for grouting joints in marble to be polished after laying. If the cleaning operation is carried out too soon (the mix is still too wet), some of the mix may be removed from the joints. If grouting is carried out in extremely hot, dry or windy weather, we Mapei Ultracolor Plus forms a smooth, compact finished surface with optimum resistance to abrasion, compression and flexural strength, and good resistance to acids with a pH > 3. Floors are ready for light foot traffic after approx. 3 hours. Surfaces grouted with Mapei Ultracolor Plus may be put into service after 24 hours. Basins and swimming pools may be filled up 48 hours after grouting.

When the mix becomes firmer opaque, which usually takes place after 10-20 minutes, clean the residual Mapei Keracolor SF with a damp sponge, working in a diagonal direction with respect to the joints.Typically, a herringbone pattern looks best with contrasting grout color, as it lets the visual interest the pattern brings steal the show.
