Limitations
- Grout Colorant is not recommended for use underwater in pools, ponds, or areas subject to hydrostatic pressure
- Do not use solvent-based cleaners on recoloured grout joints
- Previously applied sealers, with the exception of Aqua Mix® Penetrating Sealer, Aqua Mix® Grout Sealer, Aqua Mix® Pro-Solv, Aqua Mix® Ultra-Solv® or Aqua Mix® Sealer’s Choice® Gold, must be removed to provide a bondable surface. Aqua Mix® Sealer & Coating Remover is recommended for this procedure
- Porous tile may require sealing to ensure colourant is not absorbed into the tile
General Surface Prep
Test a small area according to application instructions, with a minimum 1-hour cure time to determine desired results. The Grout must be dry prior to applying Grout Colorant – the following document explains in detail the definition of the term “dry” as it relates to Colorant application.
Application of Product
USE CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES, such as nitrile, when handling products. Read the entire label before using. SHAKE WELL before using. For new installations, Grout Colorant can be applied a minimum of 48 hours after grouting depending on site conditions and ambient temperature. Grout joints must be clean, dry and free of existing sealers or coatings.
Product Data Sheets
Cleaning of equipment
Clean tools with water before material dries.
Prepare existing grout joints:
- MOST TILE & STONE: Use Aqua Mix® Cement Grout Haze Remover or Aqua Mix® Phosphoric Acid Substitute.
- ACID-SENSITIVE STONE OR SINGLE COMPONENT GROUT JOINTS: Use Aqua Mix® HeavyDuty Tile & Grout Cleaner, Aqua Mix® Grout Deep Clean or Aqua Mix® Stone Deep Clean.
- EPOXY OR URETHANE GROUT JOINTS: Use Aqua Mix® Sealer & Coating Remover.
If more than 1 bottle of a single colour is to be used, mix the material together in a large container to ensure uniformity of colour. Spread evenly using the Applicator Brush or toothbrush, working Grout Colorant into the joint using a back-and-forth motion. Thin, even coats should be applied, limiting the amount of Grout Colorant that gets on the tile. If going from a dark to light grout colour, more than 1 application may be necessary with a minimum 2-hour drying time between coats. After the Grout Colorant has dried 1 or more hours (never more than 12 hours), lightly mist the surface with water and let stand 5 minutes. Remove excess Grout Colorant from surface of tile using water and a white nylon scrub pad.
Drying Time:
- Ready for surface traffic in 2 hours.
- Keep area dry for at least 24 hours.
- Avoid direct scrubbing on grout joints for 20 days to allow a full cure.
