Composition & Materials
Polyblend® Non-Sanded Grout is a dry, Portland cement based grout, inorganic aggregates and chemicals.
Benefits
- Consistent color
- Excellent for highly-glazed ceramic tile and highly-polished marble or natural stone
- Resists shrinking, cracking, powdering and wear
- Exceeds ANSI A118.6 standards
- Rated for residential to extra-heavy commercial use
Limitations
- Should not be installed when ambient surface temperature is lower than 50°F (10°C) or higher than 100°F (38°C).
- Some ceramic tile, marble or stone can be scratched, stained or damaged by sanded or pigmented grout. White grout is generally best for light-colored marble or granite. Test a small area prior to use.
may be appropriate for tile not suitable for sanded grout.
- Tile with high absorption, surface porosity or rough, textured surfaces and certain types of porcelain may require sealing prior to grouting to prevent staining. Use
to prevent grout 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.
- Chemicals in salt-based pool filtration systems can cause a reaction with blue, green and red grouts. Contact Technical Services for recommendations.
