• in bathrooms, showers, pools;

• on bases subject to deformation loads, heated floors;

• facades, terraces, balconies;

• in production halls, industrial floors, freezers.

Epoxy grout for mosaics

Polyurethane grout for tiles

An innovative grouting compound based on an aqueous dispersion of polyurethane resins for grouting joints with a width of 1 to 6 mm.

The advantage of polyurethane grout

• Ready to use. 

• It does not require cooking and does not produce dust, as is the case with cement grouts. 

• The rest of the material can be stored. The remaining material, at the end of grouting, can be used within 3 months. 

• It is necessary to store the remnants of the material in a closed, original package, at a temperature of +5 to +35 0C. 

• Does not require a product hazard label. 

• Does not contain solvents or irritating and corrosive substances like conventional cement and epoxy products. 

• Does not paint over rubbed surfaces, stable and uniform colors.

• The product does not contain cement, therefore there is no possibility of efflorescence typical of cement products.

• The composition of the binder includes an aqueous dispersion of polyurethane resins, which ensure the preservation of the original color under the influence of ultraviolet rays or artificial light sources.

• Water repellency: special additives included in the product significantly reduce surface water absorption, stain resistance. Due to low surface absorption, it is particularly resistant to stains from oil, wine, vinegar, etc. The product also has good resistance to various aggressive chemicals.

• Elasticity: due to the absence of cement in its composition, the product, after hardening, is highly elastic, which makes it suitable for grouting tiles on surfaces subject to vibration and / or deformation.

 

Polyurethane grout for tiles

Scope of polyurethane grout

• It is used for grouting joints with a width of 1 to 6 mm, between all types of ceramic tiles and glass mosaics. 

• Indoors, for walls and floors, outdoors for walls. 

• Suitable for both residential and public spaces.

• Walls and floors, including heated.

• Working areas of the kitchen, countertops.

• Floors and walls in bathrooms and showers.

• Floors of common parts of a building, such as stairs and landings.

• Exterior walls.

• Grouting of cladding on elastic or vibrating substrates such as: metal sheets, wood and lightweight panels. 

• Produced in various colors.

Classification of grouts for joints according to UNI EN 13888

TYPE RG - reactive grout.

Recommendations for the use of glue and grout

1. When choosing materials, be sure to study the technical specifications of all materials.

2.  Consult with the seller or your tiler.

3. Always waterproof in wet areas or outdoors before laying tiles. 

4. Tile adhesive is not waterproofing. The grout may come off the tile or crack. Thus, there is a possibility of water getting under the tile, with all the consequences (formation of mold under the tile, a disgruntled neighbor from below, destruction of the bearing capacity of the screed or plaster, followed by peeling of the tile).
