- - DropEffect Technology: This innovative feature significantly reduces surface absorption, helping to repel water, dirt, and grime from penetrating the grout joints. This property ensures that the grout maintains its color consistency and cleanliness over time, making it ideal for areas prone to moisture.
- - High-Hydrated Cement Technology (HCT): MAPEI’s HCT enhances the performance of the grout by increasing its polymer content, which improves stain resistance and reduces water absorption compared to standard-performance cement grouts. This technology also helps to eliminate common problems associated with Portland cement grout, such as efflorescence and color inconsistencies.
