Groutmix
Groutmix is an admixture for Unsanded Tile Grout CG-100 to enhance the strength, performance, and durability of the tile grout. This white polymeric emulsion helps to increase the flexibility and strength to endure water, abrasion, stain, load and fills wider joints between tile and stone.
A mix of CG-100 & Groutmix is ideal for filling joints under wet and dry conditions on walls and floors up to 6 mm.

Magicrete Groutmix: Polymer Admixture for Cementitious Grout
Magicrete Groutmix is an advanced white polymeric emulsion designed specifically as a liquid admixture for Magicrete CG-100 Unsanded Tile Grout. By completely replacing the standard water requirement during mixing, this polymer additive radically enhances flexibility, compressive strength (22-24 N/mm²), and abrasion resistance. It transforms standard cementitious grout into a highly durable, water-resistant joint filler capable of safely accommodating wider joints (up to 6mm) across all types of ceramic, vitrified, glass mosaic, and natural stone installations.
The Financial Impact on Your BOQ (Bill of Quantities)
Specifying a polymer admixture to upgrade standard grout directly optimizes finishing budgets while bridging the performance gap between basic cement and premium epoxy systems:
- Cost-Effective Durability Upgrade: Instead of procuring expensive 100% solid epoxy grouts for moderately wet or high-traffic areas, adding Groutmix to standard CG-100 provides a highly economical alternative. It delivers superior water resistance and structural strength without the premium material cost of an epoxy system.
- Expanded Joint Viability: Standard unsanded grout is typically limited to very narrow joints (1-3mm). By integrating this polymer emulsion, the flexural strength increases (5-6 N/mm²), allowing the grout to safely span joints up to 6mm without cracking. This reduces material failure liabilities on large-format tile and natural stone installations.
- Lifecycle Moisture Protection: The admixture drastically lowers water absorption (4-6 gm after 240 minutes) and minimizes shrinkage (≤3 mm/m). This protects the underlying tile adhesive from water percolation in bathrooms and exterior facades, eliminating expensive post-handover moisture damage repairs.
Mandatory Site Execution Guidelines
To achieve the guaranteed flexural strength and prevent polymer dilution, site teams must strictly follow these mixing and application protocols:
- Strict Liquid Replacement: Groutmix is engineered to completely replace the water normally used to mix CG-100 powder. Masons must never dilute this admixture with water, as doing so will severely compromise the polymer cross-linking and ruin the final compressive strength.
- Mechanical Blending Protocol: Pour the liquid Groutmix into a clean bucket first, then slowly add the CG-100 powder. Use a low-speed mechanical stirrer to achieve a smooth, lump-free paste. Allow the mixture to slake (rest) for 5 minutes before application to fully activate the polymer chains.
- Deep Joint Packing: For wider joints (up to 6mm), masons must firmly pack the modified grout deep into the joint using a rubber float held at a 45-degree angle to prevent air voids. Clean excess grout from the tile surface promptly with a damp sponge before the polymer-enhanced paste hardens.
