STARLIKE® Grout utilizes a non-staining filler powder, a ceramically coated colored quartz that will typically not pigment stain a porous surface tile. (except Jewels and Metallics) The advanced Epoxy resin is completely transparent and it will not stain most porous tile material such as quarry tile, unglazed ceramics, polished porcelain, many marbles and stone, and other porous surface tiling material.
