High-performance, antiefflorescence, quick-setting and drying polymer-modified mortar with water-repellent DropEffect® and mouldresistant BioBlock® technology for grouting joints from 2 to 20 mm wide CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO EN 13888 Ultracolor Plus is a cementitious mortar (C) for grouting (G) improved (2), with reduced water absorption (W) and high resistance to abrasion (A), class CG2WA. WHERE TO USE Internal and external grouting of floors and walls in all types of ceramic (double-fired, single-fired, klinker, porcelain, etc.), terracotta, stone material (natural stone, marble, granite, agglomerates, etc.), and glass and marble mosaic. For soft glazed ceramics and materials susceptible to marking use Keracolor SF. Some application examples • routing floors and walls in areas subject to intense G traffic (airports, shopping centres, restaurants, bars, etc.). • routing floors and walls in residential areas G (hotels, private houses, etc.). • routing floors and walls on façades, balconies, G terraces and on swimming pools. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Ultracolor Plus is a mortar made up of a blend of special hydraulic binders, graded aggregates, special polymers, water repellent admixtures, organic molecules and pigments. With Ultracolor Plus, the Ultracolor technology based on a special, self-hydrating-hydraulic binder which guarantees perfect colour uniformity, by two innovative technologies which are the result of MAPEI research: BioBlock® and DropEffect®. BioBlock® technology consists in special organic molecules which, by distributing themselves

Spreading Ultracolor Plus on a wall with a rubber trowel Cleaning the joints with Scotch-Brite ® (when the product is partially set) Cleaning and finishing the tile joints with a sponge the micro-structure of the joints, block the formation of micro-organisms that cause mould damage. The DropEffect® technology, with a synergic effect, reduces the absorption of surface water. When it is mixed with water in the proportions recommended and correctly applied, Ultracolor Plus forms a grouting mortar with the following characteristics: • ater-repellent and droplet-effect; w • niform colour and free...

Hydration of a Portland cement-based binder in a traditional grouting mortar Hydration of Ultracolor Plus special cement-based binder. Note the absence of lamellar crystals of Portlandite (calcium hydroxide), which is the cause of whitish efflorescence with an acidic cleaner (e.g. Keranet), by following the relevant instructions, at least 24 hours after grouting the joints. Only use Keranet on surfaces which are resistant to acid, and never use it on marble or limestone material. SET TO LIGHT FOOT TRAFFIC Floors are ready for light foot traffic after approx. 3 hours. READY FOR USE Surfaces grouted...
