Grouts

Grouts (cement based joint fillers) are used to fill gaps between different types of tiles. They can be applied in different widths and are available in many different colours.

To keep shrinkage to a minimum, unmodified Tylose® MC types are recommended. Tylose® prevents excessive absorption of water into the substrate or the ceramic covering, giving enough time for rubbing and finishing.

Building materials

» More information

Tylose® is an essential component in many building materials. It is mainly responsible for water retention, consistency and adhesion. The homogeneity, stability and workability of mortars are improved by the use of Tylose®. Using Tylose® enables the manufacturing of modern and efficient construction materials, such as machine plasters and thin bed adhesives.
