Limitations to the Product

Should not be installed when ambient or surface temperature is lower

than50°F(10°C)orhigherthan100°F(38°C).

Some ceramic, glass, marble or stone tiles can be scratched or

damaged by the silica aggregate filler. Perform a test on a small area

prior to use. Polyblend®NonSandedGrout may be appropriate for

joints up to 1/8" or for tile not suited for sanded grout.

Tile or stone with high absorption, surfaces that are porous or rough,

textured surfaces and some types of porcelain tile may require sealing

prior to grouting to prevent possible staining. Use AquaMix®Grout

Release or TileLab®SurfaceGard®Sealer to prevent staining when

required.

Color variation can occur due to tile type, tile porosity, jobsite

conditions, application and cleaning techniques. Variation can be

minimized by following directions and using as little water as possible

for cleanup.

Chemicals in salt-based pool filtration systems can cause a reaction

with blue, green and red grouts. Contact Technical Services for

recommendations.
