FUGOLASTIC

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Fugolastic is a liquid polymeric additive used as a substitute for water to mix with cement-based grouts Keracolor FF and GG. It enhances grout adhesion, mechanical strength, and reduces porosity and absorption. The system is classified as CG2, an improved cementitious grout according to prEN 13888.
Applications
  • Grouting façades, balconies, terraces, and swimming pools.
  • Grouting floors subject to heavy traffic and stress.
  • Repairing old or poorly grouted ceramic tiles.
  • Grouting on flexible substrates like wood or plywood.
  • Grouting ceramic or glass mosaic coverings.
  • Grouting areas subject to frequent cleaning, such as gyms and swimming pool changing rooms.
  • Grouting terracotta floors or tiles to be polished.
Technical Characteristics
  • Fugolastic is a water dispersion of synthetic polymers that improves compactness and resistance to abrasion.
  • It ensures optimal hydration of the cementitious binder and improved adhesion to tile edges.
  • Reduces porosity and absorption, making grout cleaning easier.
  • Compatible with all Keracolor colors without altering them.
Recommendations
  • Do not add water to the mixture of Keracolor FF or GG with Fugolastic.
  • Avoid using too fluid mixtures to prevent surface appearance issues.
  • Not suitable for grouting terracotta floors or porous surfaces without testing.
  • Not for use in flexible expansion joints or areas subject to movement.
Application Procedure
  • Shake Fugolastic before use and mix with Keracolor FF or GG in specified ratios.
  • Follow preparation, application, and finishing instructions as per technical data sheets.
Performance and Usage
  • Floors are set to light foot traffic after approximately 24 hours.
  • Surfaces are ready for use after 7-10 days.
  • Tools and containers should be cleaned with water before the grout hardens.
Packaging and Storage
  • Available in 25-10-5 kg plastic drums and 1 kg plastic bottles.
  • Store in a dry place for up to 24 months, protected from frost.
Technical Data
  • Type: Thin liquid, white with green reflections.
  • Density: 1.0 g/cm3, pH: 8.1, Viscosity: 15 mPa•s.
  • Mixing ratio with Keracolor FF: 28-30 parts Fugolastic to 100 parts Keracolor.
  • Mixing ratio with Keracolor GG: 18-20 parts Fugolastic to 100 parts Keracolor.
  • Final performances include high flexural and compressive strength, excellent resistance to alkali, oils, solvents, and good resistance to acids.
Warnings
All technical details and recommendations are indicative and should be confirmed through practical application. Users are responsible for ensuring product suitability for their specific applications.

FUGOLASTIC-1

ic t s la o g u F Liquid polymeric additive for Keracolor FF and GG WHERE TO USE Fugolastic is used as a substitute for water, to mix the cement based grouts Keracolor FF and GG, to improve the grout adhesion and mechanical strength and to reduce porosity and absorption. The system is CG2 classified, improved cementitious grout, according to prEN 13888. Some application examples • Grouting façades, balconies, terraces and swimming pools. • Grouting floors subject to heavy traffic, and when it is expected that grouts undergo particular stress. • Repairing old, ruined or badly grouted ceramic tiles. • Grouting floors and walls on particularly flexible substrates (wood, plywood etc.). • Grouting ceramic or glass mosaic floor and wall coverings. • Grouting floors and walls subject to frequent cleaning, also with jet-vapour (gym and swimming pool changing rooms, mess-rooms etc.). • Grouting terracotta floors or other types of tiles to be polished when installing. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Fugolastic is a water dispersion of synthetic polymers, which when mixed with cement based products for grouting ceramic tiles (Keracolor FF or GG) endows them with the following properties:
