General notes
- Limits of use: do not use weber.fug 872 for natural stones, resin-bound slabs (“engineered stones”) and materials with sensitive surface; in these cases, we recommend the ceramic and natural stone grout with crystal effect weber.fug 875 F.
- Do not use in drinking water tanks and in swimming pools; in these cases use the highstrength cement-based grout (CG2 WA) for areas subject to high loads weber.fug 873 or the epoxy resin adhesive and grout weber.xerm 848.
- All characteristics mentioned in this data sheet are based on a temperature of +23 °C without draught and a relative humidity rate of 50%.
- High temperatures and low humidity rates accelerate, low temperatures and high humidity rates delay the setting process.
- Substrates with different porosity, type of material to be laid and joint sides can lead to colour differences once the grout has completely set.
- Mortar residues can accumulate on tiles with microporous, porous, textured (rough) or matt glazed surfaces; if in doubt, carry out a test on a trial area to ascertain if discoloration is likely. If necessary, pre-wet the surfaces in order to prevent discoloration.
- Corner joints, connection joints to installed components and pipe ducts must be closed with an elastomeric silicone-based joint sealant, like weber.fug 880, 881 or 883 in accordance with the job site requirements.
- The type and appearance of material to be laid might have an influence on the final colouring of the grout; if necessary, carry out a test on a trial area.
- Do not use material that has already stiffened.
Special notes
- Do not use highly-acid cleaning agents or high-pressure/steam jet cleaners on the grouted surfaces.
- Wait for 14 days before using conventional household cleaners.
- In outdoor areas discoloration, washout (fading) and efflorescence due to environmental factors cannot be ruled out.
- In case of use in areas permanently underwater, a corrosion on the cement-based grout should be anticipated if the water is too soft. Therefore, the water must contain a minimum content of calcium carbonate per liter. Comply with the national standards and/or guidelines relating to the grade of local water hardness (for ex. hardness scale in Germany ˃ 5°); if not issued, request technical advice.
