Two-component grout based on cement
For this type of grouting a special improved cement is used, belonging to the class CG2, but often it is based on traditional cement class CG1.To dilute the dry mixture used with the supplied latex plasticizer. It is he who gives the cement grout elasticity, strength and resistance to mold and fungi. In addition, it does not crack from changes in temperature and does not break down from high humidity.
This type of grout is ideal for joints from 1 mm to 10 cm.
Currently, there are two main types of latex plasticizer. These include a color concentrator and a colorless substance. The first promotes a change in the color of the trowel in the direction of greater contrast. The second, based on the name, does not give such an opportunity. However, both plasticizers make the grout more qualitative, and the result of finishing works is more effective.
Grout for tiles, two-pack epoxy
Epoxy grout includes a colored epoxy resin and a special hardener - an organic catalyst. Mixing of these components makes it possible to obtain the most durable and durable grouting for intertitic joints. In addition, it can include a number of the most diverse fillers, making it more effective and attractive. This can be mother of pearl, silver, gold, colored dyes, etc.
Grout for tiles, two-component resistant to moisture. Getting on its surface, water is not absorbed, but simply rolls down on it, which significantly increases the service life of the composition. This is one of the main differences of epoxy grout from a similar cement mortar that is capable of absorbing moisture. In addition, the epoxy composition is not subjected to the destructive effects of various acids, which greatly expands the field of its application.
Application of two-component epoxy grout
Due to its excellent performance properties, the epoxy grout based on two components is perfect for decorating kitchen aprons, mosaic flooring, pool tiles. Stability to high mechanical loads allows using it even in the garage. It is suitable for both internal and external decoration works with any kind of ceramics, glass, marble and even stone.
Manufacturers recommend filling the seams between elements of floor or wall covering in the bathroom, cabinet, on the balcony or on the outdoor terrace. The ecological compatibility of such a two-component composition makes it possible to use it for finishing pots with drinking water, meat processing plants, confectionery factories. This grout can be used to seal joints, the width of which varies from 0.1 to 20 cm.
Thus, grouting on the basis of two components will make the finishing work more qualitative, and the result will be pleasing to the eye for many years. Of course, it should be noted that it is quite expensive, but these costs will pay off because you do not have to constantly perform cosmetic repairs.
