Laticrete 1776 grout admix plus tile adhesive

About Laticrete 1776 grout admix plus tile adhesive

•  91 OOO 74051 CIVILIZEMART  1776 is a polymer-based admixture (or additive)  not a grout on its own. It is meant to be mixed with cement-based grout powder (sanded or unsanded) instead of plain water. 

• Compatible grouts: you can use it with unsanded grout (for narrow joints, e.g. ~1-3 mm) or sanded grout (for wider joints ~3-12 mm). It improves and upgrades a regular cement grout giving you a grout joint closer to premium performance, but without going full-epoxy. 

Key Features & Benefits (when mixed properly)

When used per instructions, 1776 offers:

• Better durability, flexibility & strength  makes grout joints tougher against shock, stress, and movement, reducing risk of cracking or powdering over time. 

• Improved water resistance and lower water absorption  makes grout more suitable for wet zones like bathrooms, kitchens, wet-areas, even exterior exposure. 

• Enhanced colour stability and resistance to staining/discolouration  grout joints stay more uniform in colour and resist blotchy fade over time. 

• Anti-microbial / anti-mould benefit  the product incorporates technology to inhibit growth of stain-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew on grout joints. 

• Suitable for interior & exterior use, wide tile/stone types  ceramic, vitrified tiles, marble, natural stone, glass mosaic, engineered stone, precast terrazzo tiles, bricks, etc. Non-shrinking & non-cracking joint properties compared with plain cement grout, with better overall mechanical & chemical resistance vs plain cement grout. 

Where & When to Use It

Consider using 1776 Admix when:

• Youre using regular cement-based grout (sanded or unsanded) but want better performance  e.g. for bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, terraces, poolsides, exterior walls/facades (wet or outdoor zones).

• Tile/stone joints are either narrow (13 mm)  use with unsanded grout or wider (312 mm)  use with sanded grout. 

• You want a cost-effective upgrade vs basic cement grout better durability, stain/water resistance, cleaner maintenance without the full cost or complexity of epoxy-based grout.

• You care about long-term appearance and hygiene  e.g. kitchens, washrooms, commercial spaces, areas exposed to moisture or heavy foot traffic.

Points to Keep in Mind / Limitations

• 1776 is not a grout on its own  you must mix it with cement-based grout powder per correct ratio (e.g. for 600-series unsanded grout, ~3.75 L 1776 per 10 kg grout; for 500/ sanded grout: ~1.75 L per 10 kg grout) 

• If you need highest-level stain-proofing / chemical / waterproofing (e.g. for industrial, heavy-duty or very wet environments), an epoxy grout may still perform better (though 1776-modified grout is still much better than plain cement grout).

• Quality depends on proper mixing & application  poor mix ratio or sloppy joint filling may degrade performance (as with any grout system).
