1 Selection chart for Grouts and Flexible Joints Mapei Grouts: the best choice, whatever the environment Mapei, world-wide leader for grouts and adhesives.

2 CEMENTITIOUS GROUTS Residential Industrial Mapei has a complete range of grouts for all types of internal and external ceramic, cotto, stone and glass mosaic floors and coatings. For example, cementitious grouts are particularly suitable for residential use such as bathrooms, kitchens, swimming pools, external façades, balconies and terraces, for commercial environments such as grouting tiles in supermarkets, restaurants, airports and public buildings and for floors in industrial environments. Commercial

4 EPOXY GROUTS Residential Thanks to their technical characteristics, the range of grouting materials for epoxy joints is particularly suitable when particular requirements for hygiene and resistance to aggressive chemicals are required. They are used, therefore, in residential and commercial environments to guarantee a highly attractive and decorative finish along with their good performance figures, and in all industrial environments where very high resistance to chemicals and high strength are required, together with resistance to acids and hydrocarbons, such as for floors in the foodstuffs industries (meat factories, oil mills, etc.).
