Mapei 114 UltraColor Plus Anthracite Grout 2kg

Product Information

Mapei Ultracolor Plus is available in 2kg and 5kg bags, in the following colours: Please note, only some colours are available in 2kg bags. Unglazed klinker tiles should be grouted with the same colour tone Kerapoxy. All other colours should be used only with glazed tiles. Mapei Ultracolor Plus creates water repellent grout joints that have excellent colour uniformity. All colours are resistant to UV rays and atmospheric agents.

To avoid an uneven finish, we do not recommend sprinkling Ultracolor Plus powder onto the filled grout joints. Finishing: When the mix loses its plasticity and becomes opaque, which usually takes place after 15-30 minutes, clean off the excess Ultracolor Plus with a hard, damp sponge (e.g. a MAPEI sponge), working in a diagonal direction to the joints. Rinse the sponge frequently, using two different containers of water: one to remove the excess mix from the sponge, and the other, containing clean water, to rinse the sponge. This operation may also be carried out with a machine with a sponge belt or rotating disc. When the mix is partially set, after 50-60 minutes, a damp Scotch-Brite® sponge or an abrasive felt disc may be passed over the joints to even out the surface. Acid-resistant bonding of tiles (used as an adhesive in compliance with class R2T specification according to EN 12004 standard). After laying any tiles, you’ll need to choose the right tile grout to help you complete the job and seal your tiles from dirt and moisture - and this is where we can help, too. Always carry out preliminary tests before grouting stone or ground porcelain with a porous or rough surface.Due to insurance and health and safety regulations we are unable to transport goods into a Customer’s property Speaking of grout colours, you’ll find our Mapei grouts come in a vibrant array of colours, helping you to find an option that suits your tiling project. Whether you want to colour match or contrast your tile grout against your chosen tiles, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Of course, with our Mapei grouts you aren’t limited to neutral hues, you can also use colourful shades in creative ways to make your tiles really pop out. From cool space blue and dreamy turquoise to sunny yellow and violet, embrace the beauty of bold grout colours to your heart’s content. All Mapei grouts deliver premium performance, but they aren’t necessarily all equal. Some Mapei tile grouts boast different properties, making them better suited for use in particular environments. Expansion and movement joints on walls and floors must never be filled with Mapei Ultracolor Plus. Use a suitable flexible sealant from the MAPEI range. For those in search of a touch of glam, we even supply a selection of tile grout glitter additives in gold, silver, grey, pink and more. Perfect for giving tiled areas some added sparkle to bounce light around the room, this glitter can be added to your grout mix before you apply. When removing already cured Kerapoxy from the joints, use a hot air industrial drier.

RECOMMENDATIONS This means, when choosing the best grout for your tiling project, you’ll need to consider the specific needs of the job. For example, interior decoration projects where you’re concerned with aesthetics alone will likely lead you to choose a different option than that of practical outdoor tile installations. If you are installing one of our hard-wearing outdoor tiles, you'll need a grout that’s fully equipped to handle exposure to increased moisture and dirt, as well as extreme temperature fluctuations between the seasons.

The quantities are already in the correct proportions, therefore mistakes should not be made. Do not guess the quantities when mixing the two components. A wrong catalysis ratio could impair the hardening process. After grouting with Mapei Kerapoxy, floors and walls should be cleaned immediately, before the product dries. Wet the surface thoroughly and emulsify with an abrasive pad for cleaning joints (such as Scotch-Brite or Kerakoll Cleaning Pads), making sure not to wash-out the joints. When cleaning walls, the cleaning pad should be fully soaked with water. The excess liquid can be removed with a hard cellulose sponge (e.g. Kerakoll Cellulose Sponge Float), and should be replaced when too full of resin. Use the same type of sponge for the final tooling of the grout. It is very important that once the finishing process has ended, no traces of Mapei Kerapoxy are left on the tile surface because it will be very difficult to remove. It is therefore necessary to frequently rinse the sponge with clean water during the cleaning process.When finishing large floor surface areas, use a rotary, disc-type power float with Scotch-Brite® abrasive pads, well saturated with water. All excess liquid can be removed with a rubber squeegee. The final cleaning cycle may be carried out using Mapei Ultracare Kerapoxy Cleaner for epoxy grout (special cleaning solution for epoxy grout). Mapei Kerapoxy Cleaner may also be used to remove thin residues of grout several hours after application. In such cases, the product must be left to react for longer (15-20 mins.). The efficiency of Mapei Kerapoxy Cleaner depends on the amount of resin residues and how much time has passed since application. Cleaning must always be carried out while “fresh” as described above. In areas that may need added protection against stains and chemicals, such as countertops or high-traffic areas, we’d recommend investing in the Mapei Kerapoxy or Mapei Kerapoxy CQ grout. Both tile grouts provide exceptional resistance to acids and boast stress-free cleanability, meaning you can keep your grout lines looking clean and colourful with ease. The colours available in this range are resistant to ultraviolet rays, too, so there’s also no concern about fading over time - and the Kerapoxy CQ also features coated quartz, making sure grout retains its original colour when cleaned.Preparing the mix: While stirring, pour the Mapei Ultracolor Plus Grout powder into a clean, rust-free container containing 21-23% by weight of clean water. Mix the grout with a low-speed mixer to avoid air entrainment, until a smooth paste is obtained. Let the mix stand for 2-3 minutes, and stir again briefly before use. Use the mix within 20-25 minutes of its preparation. When resistance to acids or, where extreme cleanliness or sterile conditions are required, use a suitable acid-resistant epoxy grout.
