RECOMMENDATIONS

• 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.
• Never mix Ultracolor Plus with salty or dirty water.
• Use the product at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C.
• Carry out grouting only on substrates which are sufficiently dry and have been waterproofed, to avoid whitish film forming on the surface.
• In order to avoid uneven colour finish, we do not recommend sprinkling Ultracolor powder onto the filled grout joints.
• When resistance to acids, or where extreme cleanliness or sterile conditions are required, use a suitable acid-resistant epoxy grout.
• Expansion and movement joints on walls and floors must never be filled with Ultracolor Plus. Use a suitable flexible sealant from MAPEI range.
• The surface of certain tiles or stone material may have micro-porosity or a rough surface. We recommend carrying out preliminary test to check how easy it is to clean the surface where necessary to apply a protective treatment to the surface, to ensure the grout does not penetrate into the surface porosity of the tiles.
• If an acid-based cleaner is used to clean the joint, we recommend testing the product beforehand to check the resistance of the colour. Always make sure that the joints thoroughly rinsed down to avoid leaving traces of acid in the joints.
