PRODUCT USES
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
ANSI A118.6 mixed with water. ANSI A118.7 mixed with 425 Multipurpose Acrylic Latex Admixture, ANSI A118.8 mixed with 1900 modified epoxy. Meets CRD621-82 Army Corps of Engineers for non shrink grouts. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Read and understand data sheet completely
before beginning installation. Follow applicable ANSI, NTCA, and TCA installation
standards.
SURFACE PREPARATION: Ensure tile is firmly set and mortar completely dry before grouting. Remove all spacers, debris or adhesive from tile joints. Application of grout release may be necessary to prevent staining of tile. Always test a small area to insure compatability between grout and tile. MIXING: In a clean pail add 25 pounds of grout to 1/2 gallon of Hydroment Acrylic Admixture or clean potable water. Mix slowly to a smooth, paste-like consistency. Allow mixture to stand for 15 minutes, and remix prior to application to eliminate streaks and ensure uniform color. Grout can be re-mixed during its pot life for improved workability. Do not re-temper by adding more liquid. When mixing with Hydroment 1900 Epoxy Modified Grout and Mortar Admixture, consult 1900 data sheet. Although it is not required, the use of Hydroment grout admixtures always improve the performance of Hydroment Ceramic Tile Grouts, especially in freeze/thaw environments, in wood framed construction, or when grouting porcelain tile. APPLICATION: Lightly moisten tile with clean, damp sponge before grouting. Spread grout over the face of the tile using a rubber grout float. Work grout back and forth at a 45° angle to the face of the tile to ensure complete filling of the joints. Remove excess grout by holding the rubber float at a 90° angle working diagonally across the face of the tile. INITIAL CLEANING: Depending on humidity and temperature, begin initial cleaning after grout becomes firm, usually 30 to 40 minutes. Using a slightly dampened sponge, clean tile by working in a diagonal motion to the grout joints. Rinse sponge frequently using two pails of water, one for rinsing out the heavy residue and the other for rinsing the sponge out with clean water. Avoid cleaning with excessive water as it will cause shade variations or efflorescence. FINAL CLEAN UP: Depending on humidity and temperature, begin final clean up approximately 1.5-2 hours after initial cleaning. Using a damp nylon scrub pad (i.e.: 3M Doodlebug®) wipe diagonally across the face of the tile. Change water and rinse pad frequently to minimize the build up of grout haze. Use Hydroment® Remove™ or CermaSeal® Hydroclean for cleaning difficult grout haze. Never use acid cleaners as they may result in irreversible damage to the grout or tile. CLEAN UP: Clean all tools and equipment with soap and water. Do not allow material to dry on surface of tile. CURING: Keep all heavy foot traffic off the installation until grout is firmly set (approximately 8-12 hours). When mixed with water, damp cure for 3 days by wiping joints with a clean, damp sponge several times per day, or by covering joints with non-staining craft paper. Improper curing may result in light color and weak joints. Do not damp cure when Hydroment-425 Multi Purpose Acrylic Latex Admixture is used. LIMITATIONS
