Mapei Fuga Fresca Grout Coloured Reviver For Cementitious Grout Joints Between Tiles 160G

Description 
• Fuga Fresca is a water-based polymeric, acrylic resin-based paint which, thanks to its special characteristics and excellent covering qualities, allows joints with a uniform colour to be produced with lower water absorption that is easy to clean. 

Features
• Freshness and Antibacterial Properties: Fuga Fresca contains an innovative formula that helps prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria in joints. This helps maintain a fresh and clean appearance in areas exposed to moisture, like bathrooms and kitchens.
• Easy to Apply: It’s easy to apply and smooth out, making the grouting process faster and more efficient. The product is designed to have a creamy consistency that makes it easy to spread and work with.
• Color Consistency: The grout is available in a wide variety of colors to suit different tile types and styles, ensuring a seamless aesthetic. Its color consistency also resists fading over time, even in high-traffic areas.
• Stain-Resistant: Fuga Fresca is highly resistant to stains, which is particularly beneficial in areas prone to spills and dirt, such as kitchens and commercial spaces. This feature enhances its long-lasting performance and easy maintenance.
• Waterproof: It has excellent water-repellent properties, which make it suitable for use in wet areas. The grout doesn’t absorb moisture, which helps prevent issues like efflorescence and water damage.
• Durable and Flexible: The grout is designed to be flexible and durable, which is important for preventing cracking over time, especially in environments subject to temperature changes or building movement.
• Quick Setting Time: Fuga Fresca typically sets relatively quickly, allowing for faster completion of tiling projects. It also helps minimize the wait time between grouting and the final cleaning process.
• Certified Safe: It’s often tested to meet safety and environmental standards, ensuring it is free from harmful chemicals and safe to use in homes and businesses.

Some application examples
• Fuga Fresca is used to eliminate irregularities in the colour of grout-joints caused, for example, by incorrect application of the mortar, or to eliminate unsightly stains caused during use.

Recommendations 
• Do not use for external applications or on surfaces subjected to continuous immersion (swimming pools, basins, etc.).
• If the product is used on terracotta floors or on stone material with a porous, absorbent surface, it must only be applied on the joints to avoid staining the tiles.
• Apply the product on cementitious joints which have been cured for at least 48 hours.
• Do not use on epoxy grouts or on expansion joints sealed with silicone or polyurethane-based products.
• Do not use Fuga Fresca to consolidate friable grout or those with poor mechanical strength due to inadequate hydration.
• If the colour difference between the original colour and the new colour is too great, it may be necessary to apply more than one coat.
