Substrate Preparation Proper preparation of the tile and joint surfaces is important and will help promote a quality installation. The joints between the tiles should be free from foreign materials, and be at least 2⁄3 of the thickness of the tile in depth. High ridges of adhesive or mortar should be raked out. Rubber or plastic tile spacers, if used, should be removed prior to grouting. Tiles should be held firmly in place according to manufacturer’s instructions before grouting. When AccuColor® grout is mixed with water and used under dry or hot conditions, the tile should be dampened with a sponge or by fogging prior to grouting. Avoid any accumulation of water in joints. Due to rough surface texture or high porosity, some tiles require sealing prior to grouting. Consult the tile manufacturer’s/fabricator’s literature for advice regarding this point. Notes: Certain tile surfaces, including glazed ceramic tile, marble, stone and agglomerate tile can be scratched, stained or damaged when grouted with sanded/colored grout. Follow tile manufacturer/fabricator recommendations or test a small area prior to use to determine suitability. Use of AccuColor® Unsanded Grout may be appropriate for many tiles not suitable for use with a sanded grout.

Store in cool, dry location. Do not store open containers. Maximum of 18 months from date of manufacture in unopened package.
Limitations • Do not use in temperatures below 50°F (10°C). • Although AccuColor® chemically controls the curing process to help ensure color consistency, color variation can occur in any Portland cement product due to job conditions and cleaning methods. • Efflorescence (a whitish powder or surface crust) can occur in any Portland cement product. AccuColor® is made with Portland cement and for this reason, HBF-CP cannot guarantee that efflorescence will not occur. • To remove efflorescence, allow grout to cure a minimum of 10 days. Follow industry accepted acid or non-acid cleaning procedures. • Acid cleaning of unglazed tile, marble or natural stone is not recommended.

Fully pack the joints between the tiles by spreading AccuColor ® grout with a clean, hard rubber float. Work only a small area at one time [5-10 sq. ft. (0.5-1 m 2)]. Apply in a diagonal direction across the joint lines to prevent the grout from being dragged out of the joints. Go over each area several times from all directions to make sure that the grout is fully packed in. Remove any excess grout from the surface of the tile by holding the float at a 90° angle to the surface and moving it diagonally across the joints. Repeat the entire process until all joints are grouted.
Clean-up Allow the grout to firm up in the joints, 1⁄2 to 1 hour for grout mixed with water and 30 minutes for liquid latex-modified grout. Wet a grout sponge in a pail containing cool, clean water and wring out all excess liquid. Move the dampened sponge across the tiles diagonally to smooth the grout down to the proper height in the joint. Continue this procedure, repeatedly rinsing the sponge in clean water and wringing out excess liquid. Do not allow excess cleaning water to remain on the surface of the grout joint. Allow the grout to dry an additional hour before removing any remaining grout residue with a dampened terrycloth towel. For removing any remaining grout residue, use a grout haze remover.
Protection/Damp Curing Protect the finished installation from traffic or impact for at least 24 hours; from water immersion or freezing for at least 72 hours. Sealing grout is recommended. Consult sealer directions for proper application. Damp curing is highly recommended in cementitious grout installations to promote complete cure. Damp curing is best accomplished by covering the tile and grout with a single layer of 40# natural kraft paper for 72 hours. Periodically, mist the kraft paper with water to maintain a moist atmosphere over the tiled surface. Do not use newspaper, plywood overlay or polyethylene film for curing.

9. TECHNICAL SERVICES Technical assistance
Mix well. Avoid breathing dust and contact with eyes and skin. Allow mixture to “slake” (sit in the container) for 10 minutes, then remix before using. Slaking allows the water, Portland cement and other ingredients to react properly. The working time (pot life) when mixed this way is approximately 1 to 2 hours.
Information is available by calling the Technical Support Hotline. Toll Free: 800-832-9023 Fax: 630-952-1235
Note: If less than a full container of AccuColor® grout is going to be mixed at one time, or multiple bags are used from different lot numbers, mix the dry grout prior to taking out desired amount. (The fine pigment particles may settle during shipment and color variance can occur in the finished joint unless you first dry blend in this fashion.)
To acquire technical and safety literature, please visit our website at tecspecialty.com.
To ensure color consistency across the installation, use the same liquid to grout proportions when using multiple containers for the same job.

Substrate Preparation Proper preparation of the tile and joint surfaces is important and will help promote a quality installation. The joints between the tiles should be free from foreign materials, and be at least 2⁄3 of the thickness of the tile in depth. High ridges of adhesive or mortar should be raked out. Rubber or plastic tile spacers, if used, should be removed prior to grouting. Tiles should be held firmly in place according to manufacturer’s instructions before grouting. When AccuColor® grout is mixed with water and used under dry or hot conditions, the tile should be dampened with a sponge or by fogging prior to grouting. Avoid any accumulation of water in joints. Due to rough surface texture or high porosity, some tiles require sealing prior to grouting. Consult the tile manufacturer’s/fabricator’s literature for advice regarding this point. Notes: Certain tile surfaces, including glazed ceramic tile, marble, stone and agglomerate tile can be scratched, stained or damaged when grouted with sanded/colored grout. Follow tile manufacturer/fabricator recommendations or test a small area prior to use to determine suitability. Use of AccuColor® Unsanded Grout may be appropriate for many tiles not suitable for use with a sanded grout.

Store in cool, dry location. Do not store open containers. Maximum of 18 months from date of manufacture in unopened package.
Limitations • Do not use in temperatures below 50°F (10°C). • Although AccuColor® chemically controls the curing process to help ensure color consistency, color variation can occur in any Portland cement product due to job conditions and cleaning methods. • Efflorescence (a whitish powder or surface crust) can occur in any Portland cement product. AccuColor® is made with Portland cement and for this reason, HBF-CP cannot guarantee that efflorescence will not occur. • To remove efflorescence, allow grout to cure a minimum of 10 days. Follow industry accepted acid or non-acid cleaning procedures. • Acid cleaning of unglazed tile, marble or natural stone is not recommended.

Fully pack the joints between the tiles by spreading AccuColor ® grout with a clean, hard rubber float. Work only a small area at one time [5-10 sq. ft. (0.5-1 m 2)]. Apply in a diagonal direction across the joint lines to prevent the grout from being dragged out of the joints. Go over each area several times from all directions to make sure that the grout is fully packed in. Remove any excess grout from the surface of the tile by holding the float at a 90° angle to the surface and moving it diagonally across the joints. Repeat the entire process until all joints are grouted.
Clean-up Allow the grout to firm up in the joints, 1⁄2 to 1 hour for grout mixed with water and 30 minutes for liquid latex-modified grout. Wet a grout sponge in a pail containing cool, clean water and wring out all excess liquid. Move the dampened sponge across the tiles diagonally to smooth the grout down to the proper height in the joint. Continue this procedure, repeatedly rinsing the sponge in clean water and wringing out excess liquid. Do not allow excess cleaning water to remain on the surface of the grout joint. Allow the grout to dry an additional hour before removing any remaining grout residue with a dampened terrycloth towel. For removing any remaining grout residue, use a grout haze remover.
Protection/Damp Curing Protect the finished installation from traffic or impact for at least 24 hours; from water immersion or freezing for at least 72 hours. Sealing grout is recommended. Consult sealer directions for proper application. Damp curing is highly recommended in cementitious grout installations to promote complete cure. Damp curing is best accomplished by covering the tile and grout with a single layer of 40# natural kraft paper for 72 hours. Periodically, mist the kraft paper with water to maintain a moist atmosphere over the tiled surface. Do not use newspaper, plywood overlay or polyethylene film for curing.

9. TECHNICAL SERVICES Technical assistance
Mix well. Avoid breathing dust and contact with eyes and skin. Allow mixture to “slake” (sit in the container) for 10 minutes, then remix before using. Slaking allows the water, Portland cement and other ingredients to react properly. The working time (pot life) when mixed this way is approximately 1 to 2 hours.
Information is available by calling the Technical Support Hotline. Toll Free: 800-832-9023 Fax: 630-952-1235
Note: If less than a full container of AccuColor® grout is going to be mixed at one time, or multiple bags are used from different lot numbers, mix the dry grout prior to taking out desired amount. (The fine pigment particles may settle during shipment and color variance can occur in the finished joint unless you first dry blend in this fashion.)
To acquire technical and safety literature, please visit our website at tecspecialty.com.
To ensure color consistency across the installation, use the same liquid to grout proportions when using multiple containers for the same job.
