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).
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 and
climatic conditions, application and cleaning techniques. Variation can
be minimized by following directions and using as little water as
possible for cleanup.
A CUSTOM grout color card is truest representation of the grout
formula. Refer to the latest CUSTOM grout color card to choose a
color. Perform a mockup to determine suitability.Various lighting types
and conditions will affect the final grout and tile colors’ appearance.
Not for use in either industrial applications or in areas subjected to
harsh or continuous chemicals, high heat or high-pressure cleaning.
For heavy industrial tile installations, use CEG-IG 100% Solids Epoxy
Grout.
Chemicals in salt-based pool filtration systems can cause a reaction
with blue, green and red grouts. Contact Technical Services for
recommendations.
Not for use in movement joints or changes of plane in the tile
installation. In these areas, use an appropriate caulk or sealant such
as Commercial 100% Silicone Sealant or Ceramic Tile Caulk.
