bettonsealfuga: adhesive and elasticizing latex for grout
Range of use
Betonfuga comes from the water dispersion of elastometric polimers, emulsifying, stabilizing and additive components. It is an additive for glues and mortars to improve adhesion, flexibility and waterproofing. Suitable as an additive for grout normally used to seal the stone.
Advantages
- Particularly suggested for those products with polished edges where the grout cannot work properly
- it improves grout flexibility diminishing superficial cracks
- it improves grout waterproofing power
- easy to use
- it avoids grout burning when temperatures are high
Application
Beatonsealfuga sticks without primer to many clean, dustfree, polished surfaces. Notwithstanding on some surfaces it sticks only thanks to some primers such as metals, varnished and plastic elastomeric bases. Prepare the surface to be treated and then extrude Betonsealfuga using a professional spraying gun. Spray it towards the joint sides and the supports. Adjust it with spatula or trowel within 10-15 mins. Do not use it on 5% or above humid surfaces (measure it with carbide hygrometer). Clean the fresh spots with acetone.
Where to use it
It is excellent for in sight and non-structural indoor/outdoor joints.
Amount required
Quantity depends on the tiles size and on the space left between them. On average when the space is 5mm wide you need 1 kg/mt2 for a 30x30cm tile (2cm thick), about 0,8 kg/m2 for a 30x30cm tile (1.5 cm thick).
