SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout
†
liquid components might irritate eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and/or prolonged contact with skin.
Wear protective gear (gloves, long sleeve shirt, and safety glasses) when applying. Flush thoroughly with water in case of initial contact.
DO NOT ingest internally. Silica sand may cause cancer or serious lung problems. Avoid breathing dust. Wear a respirator or dust mask. See SDS for more information.
Because propane gas heaters will cause epoxy grouts to yellow, refrain from using such heaters or properly vent all exhaust.
Keep out of reach of children.
Protect from freezing.
Light colors may darken and dark colors may fade slightly from direct UV exposure in exterior applications. Consult with LATICRETE Technical Services for specific exterior recommendations.
SPECTRALOCK DAZZLE™ (Glow) not for use in submerged installations.
Maximum stain protection is achieved in seven days at 70°F (21°C). Protect from exposure to acids (such as mustard, salad dressing, etc.) and strong cleaners during this period. Protect grout from dirt, construction debris, and contamination for 7 days @ 70°F (21°C).
SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout
†
is a sanded grout. Use of sanded grouts in joints <1/8" (3 mm) will result in a coarser surface compared to surfaces in wider joints.
SPECTRALOCK DAZZLE (Glow) might discolor from strong alkali cleaners and acids. Use a neutral pH solution of soap and water when cleaning SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout
†
mixed with SPECTRALOCK DAZZLE (Glow).
Some soft polished marble or delicate glazed or glass tile might be scratched by SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout
†
during installation. Apply a small test area to determine results before grouting entire installation.
In steam rooms or submerged applications, allow SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout
†
to cure for 10 days at 70°F (21°C) days before use of area and filing with water. See TDS 192 for more information on these applications.
Epoxy Resins may affect the color of white or porous stones (such as White Carrara, Thassos White, Royal Danby etc.).
Test stones for compatibility with water and cleaning additive mixture.
Conduct a test area to determine compatibility with metal or steel tile.
