Product Brochure

SimpleGrout is easy to install and develops excellent stain
resistance. Typically, pre-mixed grout does not have strong
water resistance and should be used in dry or intermittently
wet areas. One should consult the manufacturer for specific
applications before installing a pre-mixed grout.
SINGLE COMPONENT GROUT — NEW CATEGORY
Custom Building Products developed Fusion Pro
®
Single
Component Grout
to satisfy the needs and desires of the end
user and installer, eliminating the typical concerns of other grout
types. Fusion Pro is formulated with the latest advancements in
acrylic copolymer development and silicone resin. Silicone resin
is known for having excellent chemical resistance and is used in
the most demanding applications. A silicone resin has a very
high surface tension and easily repels water. These properties
of silicone resin contribute to the excellent stain and water
resistance of Fusion Pro.
Acrylic polymers are known for their excellent durability and can
be found in many exterior applications. The durability of the
acrylic polymers minimizes cracks from appearing in the grouted
joints and extends the longevity of the Fusion Pro grout in the tile
installation. These polymers and resins are combined with other
ingredients to fuse together a grout that is easy to install, quick
to dry and easy to clean up. Because of the excellent stain
resistance properties, Fusion Pro Single Component Grout does
not have to be sealed and is easy to maintain along with the
tile. While single component grout does not have an industry
standard, Fusion Pro does meet the performance properties of
ANSI A118.3 and A118.7. Based on the success of this latest
developments in grout technology, tile industry associations will
soon recognize it with a new industry standard. The properties of
Fusion Pro will be the basis for that standard.
In addition to these ceramic tile grouts, deformable sealant/
caulk is used in the joints between tiles, whenever movement
between adjoining tiles is suspected.
SEALANTS/CAULKS
Suitable sealants/caulks include silicone, urethane and
polysulfide based materials. The sealant/caulk must meet the
requirements of ASTM C-920, Type S or M, Grade P or NS, Class
25 or 12.5, and Use T or NT, M and G. Sealant/Caulk for use in
traffic areas requires a Shore hardness of 35 or greater.
