Introduction
The characteristics of the construction products defined in this document take into consideration that
the normal stresses due to the works for which they are intended, assembled or installed, can be
properly accommodated. Some special characteristics will take into account the type of substrate and
that the grouts should resist the degrading actions of climate, environment, etc.
Many properties of grouts for ceramic tiles are mainly determined by the type of binders used.
Tile grouts are defined in different types depending on the chemical nature of their binders.
The different types have specific characteristics in terms of application properties and final
performance.
The relationship between characteristics and the working conditions (dry or humid conditions, hot
climate, fast setting, etc.) is not given in this document.
The manufacturer gives information about the use of the product and the correct conditions of use.
The specifier evaluates the state of the job site (mechanical, thermal and chemical influences) and
chooses the appropriate product considering all the possible risks.
