NORCROS ADHESIVES RELAUNCHES ITS 4 INTO


1 GROUT RANGE Norcros Adhesives is relaunching its successful 4 into 1 grout range with new improved formulations, new colours, packaging and marketing support. The Norcros 4 into 1 Grouts & Sealants range has established itself in recent years as one of the leading ranges on the market, known for technical excellence and ease of use, so the relaunch will be of considerable interest both to fixers and distributors.


The new products have been reformulated to be both efflorescence- resistant and water-repellant. Efflorescence is the movement of salts towards the surface of a porous material, generally the grout lines, where it can leave an unsightly deposit. In some tiling installations this can be a real problem which negatively affects the aesthetic appearance of a tiled surface.


The formulation also contains Norcros Stop Mould Antibacterial additives to protect against mould


AGGRESSIVE GRAB TAPE ADDED TO


TREMCO RANGE Tasks such as securing covings, skirtings and other ancillaries have been made simpler and surer thanks to the launch of TREMCO TF448 High Performance Bonding Tape.


The double-sided, scrimmed adhesive bonding tape has been specially developed to offer aggressive high grab and should be applied to the face of the part to be fixed, and the liner paper removed, before pressing firmly in position on the wall. No additional fixings are required to secure profiles like capping strips, with the tape bonding permanently to most substrates, even across highly plasticised vinyl.


Acrylic-based, TREMCO TF448 is also easy to use as it needs none of the solvents that are typically required when applying and cleaning up after using contact adhesive, saving time and money.


Then from an environmental standpoint, the multi-purpose tape is both non-

and discolouration, which can occur in areas which will be subject to moisture or high humidity. The grouts can be used either internally or externally and in permanently immersed locations such as swimming pools. They are suitable for use with all types of wall and floor tiles, including natural stone, especially where a narrow fine- textured joint is required. The new grouts have a high flexural strength, meaning they are suitable for use in areas where limited background movement or vibration can occur, such as in heated floors or where tiling has been applied to wooden flooring. They


are also suitable for use in wider joint applications of up to 12mm.


The new range has been considerably expanded and now includes a total of 15 colours, reflecting current tile trends, in particular the escalating popularity of wood effect tiles. Norcros Adhesives has added four new colours to the 4 into 1 Grouts range. These are specifically designed to complement the new generation of modern tiles. The colours have been formulated so that they now match the existing successful Norcros Flexible Wide Joint grout range.

flammable and of low toxicity earning EC1 categorisation for a healthier alternative to many other contact adhesives.


Available in widths of 25, 50 and 85mm, TREMCO TF448 comes in easy to handle 50 metre rolls and measures just 0.45mm thick.


Minimal preparation is required before using TREMCO TF448, though normal restrictions on contamination of the substrate apply, and dusty or very porous surfaces should be sealed using TREMCO CS150 Acrylic Primer.


Typifying the ‘apply and walk away’ peace of mind pioneered by tremco illbruck, TREMCO TF448 High Performance Bonding Tape exhibits minimal loss of strength over time and thereby offers lasting, trouble-free performance. The manufacturer also offers a full technical advisory service to assist with specification, and a team of Technical Sales Representatives able to deliver training or support on site.
