WAUWATOSA, WIS.—Bostik, Inc., one of the world’s largest manufacturers of adhesives and sealants, has brought Dimension RapidCure Glass-Filled, Pre-Mixed, Urethane Grout to market. A patented, reflective, water-based, urethane grout, Dimension RapidCure contains micro-glass beads and a translucent, urethane binder that both reflect light and allow it to pass through. This adds an illuminating sparkle, creating one-of-a-kind, three-dimensional effects within glass tile installations.
According to Scott Johnson, Marketing Manager of Voguebay, a major supplier of glass mosaics, “With Bostik’s Dimension RapidCure, now grout can be a fashionable product, too. Beautiful, three-dimensional tiles no longer have to be surrounded by boring white grout lines. Because this product is glass-filled, you see more of the tile and less of the grout. This makes a glass tile installation even more attractive.”
Dimension RapidCure offers lifetime stain and superior crack resistance. Created with urethane sealer technology, it never needs to be sealed. Dimension RapidCure also installs up to 50 percent faster than traditional grouts. High-performing and crack-resistant, it contains Bostik’s Blockade antimicrobial protection which inhibits growth of bacteria, mold and mildew on the cured grout surface…and, resists ugly stains caused by mold, as well.
Mitigates Thermal Expansion
Dimension RapidCure used together with Bostik Glass-Mate glass tile mortar is a complete system for glass tile installation. Engineered to mitigate thermal expansion and contraction inherent to glass tile, this results in significantly less tile or grout cracking due to severe temperature fluctuations.
A very green product, Dimension RapidCure is being specified by architects and designers seeking U.S. Green Building Council LEED certification for their projects. It contains 60 percent pre-consumer recycled glass, and is manufactured within the LEED-approved radius of 500 miles or less from a great percentage of the U.S. population, further adding to the LEED scorecard.
Available in 9-pound and 18-pound pails, grout colors include: Amber, Aquamarine, Aventurine, Bronze, Citrine, Copper, Diamond, Hematite, Jade, Moonstone, Onyx, Opal, Palm Wood, Silver and Topaz. In addition to being an ideal grouting material for glass tile installations, Dimension RapidCure performs at optimal levels for all tile installations, including those where natural stone and metal are being used.
