PROTECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
• Light foot traffic is acceptable 24 hours after grouting.
• To develop stain resistance and for a full cure, allow
3 days before water exposure.
• Protect the product from freezing. However, if product does
freeze, allow the product to return to room temperature
before use. MAPEI Flexcolor CQ was tested in the cured
state and passed 25 cycles of freeze/thaw testing at 0°F
(-18°C) for 16 hours and 8 hours at 74°F (23°C) per cycle.
• If haze residue or “picture framing” is experienced after
installation, use MAPEI's UltraCare
™
Epoxy Grout Haze
Remover and UltraCare Heavy-Duty Stone, Tile & Grout
Cleaner.
• Although sealing is not required, MAPEI’s UltraCare
products can be used for care and maintenance of
the grout surface. MAPEI’s UltraCare water-based
products are fully compatible with MAPEI Flexcolor CQ.
