Description
• Kerapoxy Easy Design is a two-component, epoxy resin-based decorative grout, with glass micro-spheres and other special components. It has an excellent resistance to acids, easy workability and is very easy to clean.
• Kerapoxy Easy Design has a bacteriostatic agent, preventing from the proliferation of bacteria and the formation of mould on the surfaces of grouts, making tiled surfaces hygienic and safe, thanks to the innovative BioBlock technology developed as a result of MAPEI research.
• This is a product with very low emission of volatile organic compounds and is classied Emicode EC1 Plus by GEV when used for grouting.
• Kerapoxy Easy Design may be mixed with up to 6 % by weight of MapeGlitter, metallised coloured glitter, to create aesthetic effects. Percentage depends on the aesthetic effect and workability desired. MapeGlitter is available in silver and gold.
• Kerapoxy Easy Design may be mixed with Mapecolor Metallic, available in pre-dosed sachets (90 g, equal to 3% by weight of a 3 kg drum of Kerapoxy Easy Design), powder pigment based on very high-quality pearlescent mica, to create a metallic effect. Mapecolor Metallic is available in Moonlight (similar to platinum), Sahara (similar to gold), Shining (similar to silver), Red clay (similar to copper), Stardust (similar to dark silver). In order to obtain a homogeneous mix, we suggest to add Mapecolor Metallic of the desired colour to Kerapoxy Easy Design 700 (translucent).
• Mixing Mapecolor Metallic with Kerapoxy Easy Design of other colours may result in numerous metallic effects with different intensity and shades. It is recommended to carry out preliminary tests since the result may vary based on the colours and quantities used, however within the maximum dosage of 3% by weight so that the workability of the grout/mortar is not affected.
• When applied correctly, Kerapoxy Easy Design produces joints with the following characteristics:
   - excellent mechanical strength and resistance to chemicals, therefore excellent durability;
   - smooth and compact surface nish which is non-absorbent and easy to clean; it guarantees a high level of hygiene, where a high protection from the formation and proliferation of micro-organisms (such as fungus and mould) is required;
   - excellent workability, much better than traditional epoxy mortars thanks to its creamy consistency, which guarantees faster application times and makes it easier to clean from surfaces, with less waste and easier to obtain a good nish;
   - no shrinkage and no cracks;
   - uniform colours, resistant to UV rays and atmospheric agents;
   - excellent bond;
   - certied according to ISO 22196:2011 as a grouting mortar protected against the formation and proliferation of micro-organisms.

Where To Use
• Decorative grouting of internal and external tiled oors and walls. Also suitable for an acid-resistant bond to all substrates normally used in the building industry.
• Kerapoxy Easy Design allows to create oors, walls, worktops etc. in compliance with the HACCP system and the requirements of EC Regulation No. 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs.

 

Some application examples
▪ Installing and grouting decorative coverings in environments with an high aesthetic value (e.g. showrooms, commercial environments, etc.).
▪ Installing and grouting oors and walls in showers and bathrooms. Suitable on breglass and PVC substrates.
▪ Installing and grouting oors and walls in thermal facilities, Turkish baths, etc.
▪ Installing and grouting swimming pools.
▪ Repairing existing degraded grouts by removing all loose areas and to a minimum uniform depth of 3 mm.

 

Recommendations 
▪ Use Kerapoxy IEG to grout ceramic oors subject to attack by oleic acids (ham curers, sausage factories, oil mills, etc.) and aromatic hydrocarbons.
▪ Use a exible sealant from the MAPEI range (such as Mapesil AC, Mapesil LM, Mapeex PU 40, Mapeex PU 45 FT or Mapeex PU 50 SL) for exible expansion joints or for joints subject to movement.
▪ Kerapoxy Easy Design does not guarantee a perfect bond when used as a grout if the edges of tiles are wet or contaminated with cement, dust, oil, grease, etc.
▪ If porcelain tiles are grouted with a contrasting colour of Kerapoxy Easy Design (for example black on white), carry out preliminary tests beforehand.
▪ Always carry out preliminary tests before grouting stone or ground porcelain with a porous or rough surface.
▪ Do not add water or solvents to Kerapoxy Easy Design to increase its workability.
▪ Use the product at temperatures between +12°C and +30°C.
▪ The packages are pre-dosed and, therefore, it is not possible to make mixing errors. Do not estimate the quantities when mixing: hardening will be compromised if the catalysing ratio is wrong.
▪ If hardened Kerapoxy Easy Design has to be removed from the joints, use an industrial hot air blower. If hardened localised residues of the product remain attached to the tiles, use Pulicol 2000 for cleaning.
▪ Kerapoxy Easy Design mixed with MapeGlitter or Mapecolor Metallic is not suitable for swimming pools or external use.
