Tile Bond A+
Tile Bond A+ is a high-performance cementitious tile grout enhanced with a special admixture that improves adhesion, water resistance, and flexibility. It is ideal for filling tile joints in both interior and exterior applications, providing superior crack resistance and durability. Tile Bond A+ is suitable for use with ceramic, porcelain, vitrified, and natural stone tiles.
Key Features
- Enhanced adhesion with special admixture for improved bonding strength.
- Superior water resistance and flexibility.
- Crack-resistant, shrinkage-controlled formulation.
- Suitable for joint widths up to 6 mm.
- Excellent stain resistance.
- Available in multiple colors.
- Suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Surface Preparation
- Ensure the tile joints are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or contaminants.
- The tile adhesive should be fully cured before applying Tile Bond A+ grout.
- Use a vacuum or soft brush to remove any debris from the joints.
Mixing Instructions
- Mix Tile Bond A+ powder with clean water (approx. 300-350 ml per 1 kg of powder).
- Stir using a slow-speed mixer until a smooth, lump-free paste is obtained.
- Let the mix stand for 2-3 minutes and then remix.
- Use the mixture within 45-60 minutes for optimal performance.

Health & Safety
- Use protective equipment, including gloves and masks, while handling.
- Avoid inhalation and contact with skin and eyes.
- In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
- Use a rubber grout float to apply the grout, pressing it into the joints diagonally to ensure full filling.
- After 10-15 minutes, remove excess grout from the tile surface using a damp sponge, ensuring not to disturb the joints.
- Allow grout to set for 24 hours before subjecting the area to light foot traffic or moisture.
