FAQ
What is the difference between Ronafix TS and Ronafix?
Ronafix TS is an SBR polymer admixture specifically designed for Ronafix Colour Grout powder to enhance its waterproofing and bonding performance. Ronafix (without TS) is a general-purpose polymer admixture for mortars. They serve different purposes and should not be interchanged.
Is Ronafix TS necessary? Can I use plain water instead?
For areas requiring high waterproofing performance (swimming pools, water tanks, wet areas), Ronafix TS is strongly recommended in place of water. For dry interior areas, plain water can be used, but waterproofing performance will be lower.
How long can the mixed grout be used?
The mixed colour grout must be used within 2 hours of initial mixing and should be kept out of direct sunlight. Material that has exceeded the pot life should be discarded — do not add water and re-mix.
