Mapei 114 UltraColor Plus Anthracite Grout 2kg

Product Information

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. 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. Sponge down the area: using clean water and a damp (not wet) sponge or sponge float, wipe down the tiles and grout lines to remove the remaining grout, ensuring the grout lines have a smooth, even finish.

When resistance to acids or, where extreme cleanliness or sterile conditions are required, use a suitable acid-resistant epoxy grout. Mapei Kerapoxy Epoxy Tile Grout allows you to create floors, walls and worktops, etc. in compliance with the HACCP system and the requirements of EC Regulation No. 852/2004 regarding hygiene and foodstuffs. 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.All Mapei Ultracolor Plus grout colours are also available in a matching silicone – Mapesil AC Silicone. If using this grout with moisture sensitive natural stone tiles, a low modulus silicone is advised – Mapei Mapesil LM Silicone. For flexible expansion joints or joints subject to movement use an elastic sealant from the Mapei line (e.g. Mapesil AC, Mapesil LM, Mapeflex PU45 FT or Mapeflex PU21). If you don’t have a colour preference, or hadn’t realised there were numerous options to choose from, the Mapei grout colour chart below can help you to visualise the different shades before you buy. 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. 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.

For grouting floors and walls that are subject to high levels of traffic (airports, shopping centres, restaurants, bars, etc.). To avoid an uneven finish, we do not recommend sprinkling Ultracolor Plus powder onto the filled grout joints. Mapei Kerapoxy Epoxy Tile Grout does not ensure perfect adhesion when used for grouting tiles with wet edges or contaminated with cement, dust, oil, grease, etc.Prep the area: first and foremost, make sure the adhesive has fully dried, then carefully carve out any excess adhesive, tile spacers, dust and other debris between the tile joints, using a vacuum at the final stage to remove as much as possible.

From interior walls and floors to swimming pools, pathways, patios and even commercial areas, grout can be the thing that keeps your tiles looking better for longer. With DropEffect technology, and anti-mould properties thanks to state-of-the-art biotech technology, Mapei grout is suitable for tiling most areas of the home and beyond - including those that experience high volumes of foot traffic on a daily basis. Remove excess grout: with a dry sponge, wipe away any excess grout to make sure all the gaps are completely filled. Make sure you don’t scrub hard with the sponge though, as this could pull grout out of the grooves.

When removing already cured Kerapoxy from the joints, use a hot air industrial drier. Remove hardened Mapei Kerapoxy from the tiles with Mapei Pulicol 2000. Ultracolor Plus does not contain Portland cement and must not be mixed with gypsum or other binders. If the cleaning operation is carried out too soon (the mix is still too wet), some of the mix may be removed from the joints. If grouting is carried out in extremely hot, dry or windy weather, we
