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 lightweight aggregate filler. Perform a test on a small
area prior to use.
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.
Chemicals in salt-based pool filtration systems can cause a reaction
with blue, green and red grouts. Contact Technical Services for
recommendations.
