SikaTile®-960 Grout Seal

WATER REPELLENT FOR EXTENDED TILES JOINTS LIFE 

SikaTile®-960 Grout Seal is a low viscosity emulsion, ready-to-use, silane/siloxane combination-based, water-repellent impregnation design to deeply penetrate any hairline cracks in tiles joints/concrete.

  • Product in the aqueous phase has strong water-repellent capability.
  • Penetrate deeply into tile joints/building surfaces to provide water resistance properties.
  • Treatment is usually invisible not changing the substrate aspect.
  • Improve resistance to dirt pick up and reduce fungal and algal growth.
  • Can be over-coated with suitable paints and coatings.
  • Ready to use.
  • Water based environmentally friendly.

Consumption

Dependent on substrate quality and porosity:

On concrete and mortar         

0.15–0.20 kg/m²

On porous material                  

0.30–0.50 kg/m²

On joint gap only                                  

1 kg/ 50 m²  (joint gap width of 2 mm. Tile size 30x30 cm.)      
Application steps

APPLICATION

  • SikaTile®-960 Grout Seal is applied using a low-

    pressure spray gun, brush, or roller.

  • Apply the first layer from top to bottom, let it dry for 10-15 minutes (depending on the environmental condition) then apply the second layer.
  • If SikaTile®-960 Grout Seal drips or spills, use a cloth to clean up any stains on the tiles.
  • Do not allow the solution to dry as it may cause residue to adhere to the tile surface, making it

    difficult to wipe off.

  • Recommend to apply regularly every 6 months.

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use.
