Best for
- Fine tile joints up to 6mm
- Porcelain, ceramic, natural stone and mosaics
- Smooth and polished tile or stone surfaces
- Bathrooms, swimming pools and external tiling
- Commercial floors where chemical resistance is not required
Why choose Keracolor FF?
- CG2WA performance: improved cementitious grout with reduced water absorption and high abrasion resistance.
- DropEffect: hydrophobic technology helps make grout joints water repellent and less prone to dirt.
- BioBlock: technology designed to inhibit mould-causing micro-organisms in the grout joint.
- Smooth finish: suited to polished porcelain, marble, glazed tile and mosaics.
- Pool capable: Mapei lists swimming pools among suitable applications.
Tile and stone compatibility
Keracolor FF is suitable for interior and exterior walls and floors with ceramic and porcelain tiles, natural stone, marble, granite, agglomerates, glass mosaics and marble mosaics.
Important limitations
Keracolor FF is not an acid-resistant epoxy grout. Use a suitable Mapei epoxy system where high chemical resistance or specialist hygiene performance is required. Movement and expansion joints must be filled with an appropriate flexible sealant rather than cement grout.
