Details of Polymer Modified Grout
Polymer Modified Grout Overview
Polymer modified grout is a type of grout that contains polymers added to traditional cement based grout The polymers are usually in the form of liquid latex or redispersible powders These additives improve the properties of the grout making it more durable flexible and resistant to moisture
Main Components
- Cement usually Portland cement
- Fine aggregates like san
- Water
- Polymers either liquid latex or powder form
Key Properties
Improved Bond Strength: The polymers help the grout bond better to tiles and substrates
Flexibility: It can handle minor movements without cracking
Water Resistance: Offers better moisture resistance than standard cement grout
Reduced Shrinkage: Less cracking due to shrinkage during curing
Better Durability: Resists wear and tear more effectively over time
Common Uses
- Tiling in bathrooms kitchens and wet areas
- Outdoor tiling where temperature changes are common
- Commercial flooring installations
- Areas exposed to moderate movement or vibration
Application Method
- Surface preparation should be clean and dust free
- Mix the polymer modified grout according to manufacturer instructions
- Apply using a rubber float pressing it into joints
- Remove excess grout from tile surfaces
- Allow it to cure as specified usually 24 to 72 hours
Advantages Over Traditional Grout
