G G r lo o c ra e K High performance, polymer-modified, cement-based grout for joints from 4 to 15 mm CLASSIFICATION IN COMPLIANCE WITH EN 13888 Keracolor GG is an improved (2) cementitious (C) grout (G), with reduced water absorption (W) and high abrasion resistance (A), classified as CG2WA. WHERE TO USE Grouting interior and exterior floors and walls in all types of ceramic tiles (single fired, double fired, klinker, porcelain tiles, etc.), terracotta, facebrick and stone material (natural stone, marble, granite, agglomerates, etc.). Some application examples • Grouting façades, balconies, terraces and swimming pools. • Grouting floors with a rustic finish (terracotta, enamelled porcelain, antiqued marble, klinker, single fired tiles). • Grouting floor and wall ceramic tiles in interiors. • Grouting ceramic tiled industrial flooring where resistance to chemicals is not required (garages, warehouses, etc.). TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Keracolor GG is a mixture of cement, graded aggregates, synthetic resins, special additives and pig

The following features are obtained when mixed with the right water ratio and used correctly: • good compressive and flexural strength, and good resistance to freeze/thaw cycles, therefore good durability; • good abrasion resistance; • low shrinkage, therefore absence of cracks and fissures; • good resistance to acids with pH > 3; • excellent cost-performance ratio. Grouting a terracotta tile floor with float When mixing Keracolor GG with Fugolastic, a special synthetic resin based polymeric additive, the final characteristics are improved, achieving adequate resistance even under harsh conditions...

it is necessary to clean the surface mechanically, which could scratch the surface of the tiles. When applying Keracolor GG in extremely hot, dry or windy climates, it is recommended to wet the joints after several hours. The wet curing always improves its final performance. Final cleaning of a powdery haze of Keracolor GG from the surface is carried out with a clean dry cloth. After the final cleaning, if the surface of the floors or walls are still covered with excess Keracolor GG due to poor application technique, an acid cleaner can be used (e.g. Keranet), following the relevant instructions,...
