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 Tilelab®
SurfaceGard®Sealer or AquaMix®GroutRelease 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.
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 Caulk or Polyblend®CeramicTileCaulk.
