Mapei Ultracolor Plus Fast Setting Water-Repellent Flexible Grout 5kg (Choice Of Colour)

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. The formulation of Ultracolor Plus contains no Portland cement, making it more user-friendly.
Ultracolor Plus, technology is based on a special, self-hydrating hydraulic binder which guarantees colour uniformity. 

Ultracolor Plus contains two innovative technologies MAPEI research: BioBlock® and DropEffect®. The BioBlock® technology consists of special organic molecules that, by distributing themselves evenly in the micro-structure of the joints, block the formation of microorganisms 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:
- Water-repellent droplet-effect
- Uniform colour and free of staining since Ultracolor Plus does not produce efflorescence. From analysis carried out using an electronic microscope (SEM), it was noted that, compared with a Portland cement-based binder in a normal cementitious grouting mortar, the special cements in Ultracolor Plus do not generate the calcium hydroxide (hydrolysis lime) crystals during the hydration process, which cause efflorescence
- Colours are resistant to ultra-violet rays and atmospheric agents making it suitable for external applications
- Short waiting time before cleaning and easy finishing
- Ready for light foot traffic and for use after a short period of time, 3 hours
- Smooth, compact finished surface, with low water absorbency for easy cleaning
- Shrinkage compensated, therefore free from cracks
- Optimum resistance to abrasion, compression and flexural strength, even after freeze/thaw cycles, and therefore optimum durability
- Good resistance to acids with pH > 3
