44-T FORMULA TILE GROUT ADDITIVE RETARDANT

ACRYLIC
FOR SHRINK CONTROL - WATERPROOFING - HIGH BOND STRENGTH

With the biggest percentage of tile setting today being installed without soaking the tiles, many problems have developed: Shrinking grout joints, popouts, cross cracks in wide joints, grout joints powdering cut, bad shading on colored joints, little consideration for porcelain type tiles and marble. Lack of damp curing, and not enough expertise, have caused the major portion of all tile failures.

Under excessive heat conditions and dry temperatures we recommend BERYLEX 44-T Acrylic Grout Additive Retardant for all grouts. This will allow more open time to complete the grouting process by slowing down the setting up period.

ACCORDING TO LABEL INSTRUCTIONS:

I.  Stir contents in container well before diluting.
2.  Add 3 parts water to 1 part 44 -T and stir again.
3.  Use only this solution as the wetting agent for any factory or job prepared grout mix and stir.
4.  Add just enough solution for good grout workability.
5.  Let stand for 15 minutes then remix.   
6.  On high porosity tiles, pre-wet prior to grouting.
7.  BERYLEX 44-T will in no way affect normal grouting.
8.  Damp cure to assure a senses, non-shrinking grout joint.
9.  On rough sanded grout joints, we would recommend going over the surface or the grout with a margin trowel, while the grout is still damp. This method will force the coarse particles of the sand back into the joint and bring the cement to the surface. With a smoother grout surface, it makes it easier to maintain.
10.  Going over a green grout job with a wet sponge tends to draw the surface cement out of the grout joint. This in turn leaves the coarse particles of sand exposed and will accumulate more dirt and be more prone to picking up stains.

BERYLEX 44-T Formula tile regular is formulated with BERYLEX Liquid Concentrate  tile to assure density and hardness under strict quality control.

Is used to make BETTER concrete - Not to replace cement BERYLEX cannot correct human errors or man failures.
