Mapei’s Ultracolor Plus is an advanced, polymer-modified cementitious grout engineered to deliver superior performance in both aesthetic and functional aspects of tile installations. Designed to fill joints from 2 mm up to 20 mm, it combines rapid setting characteristics with high mechanical strength, allowing projects to progress quickly without compromising durability. Its smooth, dense finish ensures uniform color distribution, eliminating patchiness and enhancing the overall visual consistency of tiled surfaces across floors and walls.
A key advantage of Ultracolor Plus lies in its incorporation of proprietary technologies such as BioBlock and DropEffect. BioBlock technology inhibits the growth of mould and microorganisms, making it particularly effective in humid and wet environments like bathrooms, kitchens, and swimming pools. Meanwhile, DropEffect technology significantly reduces water absorption by increasing the grout’s surface hydrophobicity, preventing moisture penetration and minimizing staining. Together, these innovations contribute to a cleaner, more hygienic surface that retains its appearance over time with minimal maintenance.
The grout is also formulated to be efflorescence-free, addressing one of the most common issues associated with traditional cementitious grouts—unsightly white salt deposits on the surface. This ensures long-lasting color stability and a consistent finish, even in challenging environmental conditions. Additionally, its quick-setting and fast-drying nature allows light foot traffic within a few hours, making it ideal for fast-track construction and renovation projects where downtime must be minimized.
Ultracolor Plus is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications, including ceramic tiles, porcelain, mosaics, and certain natural stones (subject to compatibility testing). It performs reliably in both interior and exterior settings, including high-traffic commercial areas and demanding environments such as façades and marine installations. Its low VOC formulation also aligns with modern sustainability standards, contributing to improved indoor air quality and environmentally responsible construction practices.
