1.1 Statement of Design Objectives

The Concept Comprehensive Interior Design (CID) package for the Pituffik Space Base Thule Dormitory in Greenland provides the specifications, selections and warranty information for the interior finishes and furniture for this facility. This package is being developed to meet the furniture and finish requirements for this project.

A. Function: A relationship of all interior and exterior spaces has been developed to facilitate daily operations, enhance operational efficiencies, and provide customer satisfaction.

B. Cost Effectiveness: All finishes provided will reflect the best value in terms of aesthetic value and life-cycle costs. There will be consideration in appointing funds to appropriate locations. Areas that provide the most impact on the customers experience will be considered important locations.

C. Durability: Selection of quality materials will ensure that the facility will look fresh and clean for years to come.

D. Maintainability: Finishes will be selected to limit future maintenance requirements.

E. Design: The design objective of this facility is simple; people should feel comfortable and productive in their living and work environments.

F. Creativity: The project will rely on innovation and creativity in color and style.

Providing the best value is the goal for the functions of this facility and the personnel who will use it.

G. Flexibility: Where finishes are more imbedded into the building design, such as porcelain tile, a more neutral color scheme is appropriate. Finishes that can be updated easily, such as paint, allow for more vibrant colors to be used. This allows for future renovations with little cost impact.

H. Timelessness: The interior image of this building should stand the test of time and minimize becoming outdated. Materials and finishes that relate to a more timeless standard or that may be easily updated with minimal cost will be incorporated.

I. Sustainability: Creating a healthy building for its users and for our planet will be at the forefront of the design. Finishes and adhesives with low VOC’s will help maintain a healthy indoor environment. Natural or recycled/recyclable materials will be a part of the design where possible. Also, durable materials that do not need a lot of maintenance will aid in the sustainability effort by conserving resources and decreasing waste generation.

TruColor®

RapidCure™

PREMIUM, PRE-MIXED, URETHANE GROUT

This supersedes and replaces in its entirety all previously published versions of this document.

T172 (Last revised on 010522)

DESCRIPTION

Bostik TruColor® RapidCure™ Premium, Pre-Mixed, Urethane Grout is a patented, water-based grout offering the ultimate in color accuracy, water resistance, and stain and crack protection. This breakthrough formulation installs up to 50% faster than traditional grouts and never needs to be sealed. Its perfect balance of flexibility and toughness enables it to exhibit unmatched performance. Unlike other grouts that contain loose color pigments, which can cause staining or be washed away during the installation process, TruColor® RapidCure™ quartz aggregate is color coated to ensure perfect color consistency every time you install. TruColor® RapidCure™ contains Bostik’s Blockade® antimicrobial protection, which inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, or mildew on the surface of the dried grout and enables it to resist stains caused by mold. TruColor® RapidCure™ is approved for intermittent water exposure after only 3 days of cure and full-water submersion after 7 days of cure (see Typical Working Properties chart for details).

TruColor® RapidCure™ offers HXD™ Technology. HXD™ Technology enables only Bostik to offer the highest performance resin system of any premixed grout available. The resin system is the most important factor in grout performance. This breakthrough in polymer chemistry enables Bostik premium, pre-mixed grouts to offer unmatched toughness and water and stain resistance. Bostik HXD™ Technology contains an exceptionally high concentration of cross-linking molecules. This results in a larger, more unified polymer structure, or macro-molecule, which is more durable and resistant to penetration and staining from fluids. These superior characteristics provide unmatched performance in wet environments, which is further enhanced by proprietary additives that repel stains like no other pre-mixed grout.

TruColor® RapidCure™ is designed to have the perfect balance of physical properties in order to provide flexibility, strength, and adhesion, making urethane grouts an excellent choice for a wide variety of applications. TruColor® RapidCure™ contains a built-in urethane sealer technology, so it never needs to be sealed for the life of the installation and it also installs up to 50% faster than traditional grouts.

WHILE SPREADING GROUT

• Grout small areas at a time.

Typically grout a 2-to-10 square-foot area (an arm’s length) or an area you can comfortably grout in 2 to 3 minutes. It is more a matter of time spent spreading grout than distance covered. Spreading too far without cleaning within two to three minutes will allow the grout to begin to cure on the surface of the tile and create haze issues. Work grout back and forth along the joint holding the float at a 45 degree angle to the face of the tile ensuring grout joints are completely packed. Ensure you have enough product on the surface of the tile while grouting to ensure you can easily move it around and pack the joints. Then hold the float at a 90 degree angle to the face of the tile and moving the trowel at a 45 degree angle to the line of the grout joint remove the excess grout with the float. This should remove 95% of the grout from the tile surface. NOTE: For best results, do not grout a large area, and make sure to clean as you go.

INITIAL CLEANUP

We recommend using a sponge with a blue microfiber on one side and two rinse buckets as follows:

• Double-rinse your sponge before each cleaning by dipping the sponge into the first bucket of water and then the second bucket of water. Squeeze sponge after rinsing in each bucket.

• Using the yellow side of the sponge, lightly work the sponge in a circular motion to loosen grout residue on the surface of the tile and tool and form the grout joints. Now dip the sponge in the second bucket of water. Using the blue side of the sponge, hold the sponge flat on the surface of the tile and wipe off excess grout residue at a 45 degree angle to the grout joints.

• Repeat this process once and then move on to the next grouting area. Remember not to spread an area larger than you can clean within 2 to 3 minutes.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Read and understand this technical data sheet and associated material safety data sheet completely before beginning. Always use protective clothing (gloves and eye protection) when working with grout. When installing tile, follow applicable ANSI, TCNA, and NTCA installation standards.

MIXING

DO NOT add any water, liquid, or other material to TruColor® RapidCure™. This will cause grout failure and void all warranties.

A translucent, milky liquid may be present on the surface of the grout upon opening the container. This is from normal settling during shipment. Mix grout in its pail with a margin trowel to bring grout to a uniform mixture. This mixing process should be approximately one minute. Use of a drill mixer is not recommended as it will introduce excessive air into the product and cause grout sagging on vertical applications, a reduction of color uniformity, and/or other performance issues such as pinholes. Continue to remix grout with margin trowel throughout the grouting process to ensure proper resin dispersion is maintained.

INSTALLATION

PRIOR TO GROUTING FULL INSTALLATION, APPLY TO A TEST AREA

TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH APPLICATION AND TO ENSURE

PRODUCT SATISFACTION.

PREPARATION PRIOR TO APPLYING GROUT

• Ensure tile is firmly set and mortar is completely dry. NOTE:

When waterproofing, ensure waterproofing products are installed over the mud bed (not under). Wait at least 24 hours after setting tile before grouting with TruColor® RapidCure™.

Always follow tile manufacturer’s instructions before grouting.

• Remove all spacers, water, debris, and adhesive from tile joints.

Make sure the tile and the grout joints are clean and free of any contaminants that may inhibit the bond. For best results, the surface of tile should be at room temperature (70°F/21°C to 75°F/24°C). Urethane materials are affected by temperature and humidity variations. Cool temperatures and/or high humidity will slow cure time.

• To facilitate cleaning it is helpful to pre-seal porous or matte-finished surfaces (including unglazed porcelain, matte-finished glazed tile, and matte glass) with a water-based sealer (natural stone) or grout release (tile), including sides of natural stone The textured surfaces of these tiles allow the grout to settle into the textured surfaces during application making it more difficult to easily clean. For glass, metal, marble, stone, and other soft tiles, prepare a mockup and test the grout to ensure compatibility and that the grout may be installed without scratching the tile.

• Prior to re-grouting existing grout joints, completely remove all of the old grout and any surface contaminants. Rinse any residual material out of grout joints, then allow joints to completely dry before re-grouting.

APPLICATION OF GROUT

• Lightly dampen a sponge with clean water and apply to the top of the tile in a 2-to-10 square-foot area (an arm’s length). Wet tile enough to dampen while ensuring water is not pooling in grout joints. INSTALLATION TIP: Add 1 tablespoon of Dawn® dishwashing liquid per gallon of water and use to pre-wet tile to act as a grout release on matte-finished tile surfaces. NOTE: Do not use Dawn® dishwashing liquid in water used to clean up grout after application.

RESIDUAL HAZE

If additional haze removal is necessary, Bostik Blaze™ Urethane Grout Haze Cleaner or Texspar Plus™ may be used. Make sure the grout is sufficiently cured to withstand light finger pressure without losing form. The approximate waiting time before additional cleaning is 3 hours in low humidity/warm temperature (<50% RH and >70°F/21°C) environments and 6 hours in high humidity/cool temperature (>50% RH and <70°F/21°C) environments. Spray Blaze™ on a nylon cleaning pad (such as a 3M® Doodlebug™) designed for delicate surfaces. Rub the cleaning pad lightly over the urethane haze on the tile being careful not to disturb the grout joints.

Excessive haze may require direct spray on surface, more dwell time or repeated cleaning. Do not flood surface with cleaner. Allow Blaze™ to rest on the tile/stone surface for at least 60 seconds to ensure sufficient penetration. Use a damp sponge and clean water to remove film and cleaner.

Finish by drying the tile surface with a clean towel or cloth. If the product has remained on the floor an extended period of time prior to cleaning or excessive residual product was not removed by Blaze™ use Texspar Plus™. See technical data sheet for use details.

Contact Bostik Technical Service if a persistent haze exists.

• Change the first bucket of rinse water approximately every 50 to 100 square feet or when the second bucket of rinse water no longer appears clean or clear. This avoids re-depositing the clear urethane binder back on the surface of the tile.

• There is no need to change both buckets of rinse water as you simply move the second bucket into the first bucket position and place the fresh bucket of rinse water in the second bucket position. This saves time and water! Check your work as you clean. Repair any low spots with additional grout. DO NOT over wash grout joints. INSTALLATION TIP: If working alone, only grout as far as you can reach (arm’s length) before cleaning. If working as a team, one person should grout, while the other(s) are cleaning immediately (no more than 2 to 3 minutes) behind the first person.

• Squeeze as much water out of sponge as possible before placing on tile.

• Place sponge flat on tile surface and use light pressure to ensure a full, flush grout joint. Use light pressure and keep sponge flat on tile surface. Do not bend sponge as this pulls grout from the joint.

AFTER SPREADING GROUT

If this process is followed consistently, the only grout residue remaining should be easily removed by moving a dry cotton (white and lint free) or microfiber cloth across the surface of the tile in a circular motion two or three times.

After grouting, inspect the area to see if you notice a film/haze on the surface of the tile. If you notice a film or haze, lightly tap the grout joints with your finger to ensure the joint is firm and the grout does not transfer to your finger tip. When joint is firm, use an alcohol-based clear glass cleaner (for luxury vinyl tile, test first on a separate piece for compatibility) to remove any residual film or haze. Spray alcohol-based clear glass cleaner on a nylon cleaning pad (such as a microfiber towel or 3M® Doodlebug™) designed for delicate surfaces. Rub the cleaning pad lightly over the urethane haze on the tile being careful not to disturb the grout joints.

Excessive haze may require a direct spray on the surface of the tile, more dwell time or repeated cleaning. Do not flood surface with cleaner. Allow cleaner to rest on the tile/stone surface for at least 60 seconds to ensure sufficient penetration. Use a damp sponge and clean water to rinse and remove film and cleaner. Finish by drying the tile surface with a clean towel or cloth. Remove any remaining film/haze before moving to next area to be grouted. This process eliminates the chances of having to go back for secondary haze removal (next day).

NOTE: Videos for the prevention and removal of haze are available at www.youtube.com/BostikUSA.
