The figures behind it.
- Consumption of Keracolor FF varies depending on the width of the joints, the size and thickness of the tiles.
Mapei's formula for Keracolor FF: (A + B) / (A x B) x C x D x 1.5 = kg/m², with A and B the tile length and width, C the tile thickness and D the joint width, all in mm. Keracolor FF is for joints up to 6 mm.
Consumption on site depends on the substrate, the tool and the applicator, which is why wastage is yours to set. The result is a quantity to plan and quote with, not a guarantee of coverage. Confirm the system against the current Mapei technical data sheet before ordering.
Application
Where it is used.
In Mapei's own words, from the technical data sheet.
- 01Grouting interior and exterior floor and wall tiling (single-fired, double-fired, klinker, porcelain tile, etc.), stone material (natural stones, marble, granite, agglomerates, etc.), glass and marble mosaics
- 02Grouting floor and wall ceramic tiles in interiors
- 03Grouting swimming pools
- 04Grouting particularly smooth and glossy floor surfaces (smooth and polished porcelain, pre-smoothened and polished marble, glazed tiles)
- 05Grouting ceramic tile industrial flooring where resistance to chemical agents is not required (garages, warehouses, etc.)
Where it is not the right product.
- Expansion joints and movement joints in floors and walls should never be filled with Keracolor FF, but with the appropriate flexible MAPEI sealant
- Do not mix Keracolor FF with cement or any other products
- Never add water to the mixture that is beginning to set
- Never mix Keracolor FF with saline or dirty water
- After filling the joints, do not sprinkle Keracolor powder onto the grout, as this can cause uneven colour and reduce the mechanical strength
