ADHESIVES & GROUTS: PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT LEADER OF THE PACK
We find out more about the Kerakoll Fugabella Color and Fugalite Bio products, which now come in new pack sizes.
Kerakoll is introducing a new larger 20kg pack size for the five best-selling colours of its Fugabella Color grout collection.
All 50 colours in the range are still available in the original 3kg packs. The hybrid resin-cement grout has proved extremely popular since it was launched in September 2019 because of how easy it is to use and clean, and its high-performance values which are very close to the standards set for RG grouts.
“FUGABELLA COLOR IS MADE WITH NATURAL BINDERS WITH VERY LOW VOC
EMISSIONS, AND CONTAINS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF RECYCLED MATERIAL.”
It is suitable for use in a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions, meaning that you can use the same grout for everything rather than having to choose one that fits the on-site conditions. You can mix the product to the consistency that suits you and the site.
The mix is light and easy to work with; it does not slide off the trowel and remains workable without changing consistency in the bucket, so you don’t need to add water which can lead to colour inconsistencies.
The rich, intense colours are due to the particles used in the grout. They maintain the depth of colour and don’t fade as resin-cement grout is not subject to salt and lime efflorescence.
Fugabella Color is made with natural binders with very low VOC emissions, and contains a high percentage of recycled material. The CO2 emissions for the range are less than or equal to 250g/kg depending on the colour chosen.
For those situations where only an RG grout will do, Kerakoll’s Fugalite Bio range is a water-based resin that has been proven to be hypoallergenic in dermatological tests run by the Modena and Reggio Emilia University Hospital. The grout performs to extremely high standards, being UV resistant, stain proof, waterproof and bacteriostatic. It is available in 24 colours, 12 of which are now available in a 1.5kg pack size as well as the original 3kg pack.
Fugalite Bio is also better for your health and the environment than traditional epoxy grouts as it contains no solvents, toxic or hazardous components and has very low VOC emissions. Its CFP is equivalent to 0.50 kg/m².
