SPECTRALOCK® 1 Pre-Mixed Grout: Epoxy Grout Strength & Performance
Never before has a pre-mixed grout provided the superior strength and performance equivalent to that of an epoxy grout, now offered by SPECTRALOCK® 1.
This patent-pending, professional-grade grout offers all the benefits of SPECTRALOCK epoxy grout without the hassle of mixing, and also has a UL GREENGUARD certification.
SPECTRALOCK 1 is pre-mixed and ready to use, and provides exceptional durability and excellent color consistency – it can even be used in the most demanding applications, like pools or showers.
Water Dispersion Technology (WDT)
The innovative technology employed in our PERMACOLOR® and PERMACOLOR Select cementitious grouts enhances water dispersion throughout the mixing and slaking process. WDT elevates the strength and density of our grout products, resulting in grout joints that are up to 20% stronger* and offer up to 30% greater stain resistance*. For the most effective and superior grouting performance with these formulations, it is crucial to follow the mixing instructions precisely.
*Compared to original PERMACOLOR Grout and PERMACOLOR Select Grout formulations.
Sustainable Alternative to Plastic Grout Color Samples
We launched the industry’s first sustainable alternative to plastic color sampling tools, preventing millions of plastic pieces from being discarded.
The Eco Grout Color Selector tool offers all 40 standard colors, and includes 8” color-deposited paper channels. With perforations, they can easily be folded and adapted to fit most common grout joint sizes and are also ideal for submittal packages, mood boards, and more.
Antimicrobial Product Protection: Built-In Defense from Bacteria, Mold, & Mildew
LATICRETE offers you the most comprehensive array of products engineered with antimicrobial product protection.
