Product Information

Ideal for grouting exterior façades, balconies, terraces, swimming pools, bathrooms and kitchens. Especially suitable for grouting floors of supermarkets, highway service stations, restaurants, airports and public service grounds. Mapei Ultracolor Plus is available in 2kg and 5kg bags, in the following colours: Please note, only some colours are available in 2kg bags. 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). Applications for this product include: Grouting floors and walls in areas subject to intense traffic (airports, shopping centres, restaurants, bars, etc.) / Grouting floors and walls in residential areas (hotels, private houses, etc.) / Grouting floors and walls on façades, balconies, terraces and in swimming pools. Mapei Ultracolor Plus forms a smooth, compact finished surface with optimum resistance to abrasion, compression and flexural strength, and good resistance to acids with a pH > 3. Floors are ready for light foot traffic after approx. 3 hours. Surfaces grouted with Mapei Ultracolor Plus may be put into service after 24 hours. Basins and swimming pools may be filled up 48 hours after grouting.

Mapei Ultracolor Plus Tile Grout is made up of a blend of special hydraulic binders, graded aggregates, special polymers, water repellent admixtures, organic molecules and pigments. Mapei Ultracolor Plus does not contain Portland cement and must not be mixed with gypsum or other hydraulic binders; never add water to the mix once it has started to set. 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 Mapei Kerapoxy Epoxy Tile Grout is a two-component, epoxy-resin based product with silica sand and special components, with excellent resistance to acids and excellent cleanability. This is a product with very low emission of volatile organic compounds and is classified Emicode EC1 R Plus by GEV when used for grouting. The following features are obtained when used correctly: Mapei Kerapoxy Epoxy Tile Grout is a two-component acid-resistant epoxy grout for joints of at least 1mm in width. Can also be used as an adhesive.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. When resistance to acids or, where extreme cleanliness or sterile conditions are required, use a suitable acid-resistant epoxy grout. Unglazed klinker tiles should be grouted with the same colour tone Kerapoxy. All other colours should be used only with glazed tiles.

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. CO 2emissions measured throughout the life cycle of ULTRACOLOR PLUSfrom the Zero line using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, verified and certified with EPDs, have been offset through the acquisition of certified carbon credits in support of renewable energy and forestry protection projects. A commitment to the planet, to people and to biodiversity. 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. After the final cleaning operation, if the surface still has traces of Mapei Ultracolor Plus due to incorrect application, it may be cleaned down with an acidic cleaner (e.g. Keranet), by following the relevant instructions, at least 24 hours after grouting the joints. Only use Keranet on surfaces which are resistant to acid, and never use it on marble or limestone material.Spread Mapei Kerapoxy with an appropriate grout float, making sure the joints are completely filled. Use the same float, but on edge, to remove excess grout. Please refer to the Technical Data Sheet for further instructions on how to correctly prepare, apply and finish Ultracolor Grout grout.

After a certain amount of time, the setting time may extend but without modifying the final characteristics of the product 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.

Applying the grout: Fill the joints with the Mapei Ultracolor Plus mix using a special MAPEI grout float or rubber squeegee, without leaving any gaps or steps. Remove any excess of Mapei Ultracolor Plus from the surface, by moving the float diagonally to the joints while the mix is still fresh. Always carry out preliminary tests before grouting stone or ground porcelain with a porous or rough surface. 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 removing already cured Kerapoxy from the joints, use a hot air industrial drier. Remove hardened Mapei Kerapoxy from the tiles with Mapei Pulicol 2000.
