Star Quartz - Star Cure 18 Accelerator

StarCure^®is a ground-breaking Urethane Grout Cure Accelerator for use with Quartz-Lock^®Grout.

Recommended Uses

For wet applications or areas that require rapid cure, use StarCure^® Urethane
Grout Cure Accelerator. These applications can include:

• When accelerated cure is needed

• In damp environments such as:
       - Showers    
       - All mud beds
       - All outdoor installations
       - High humidity environments
       - Seasonal dew
       - Steam showers

Urethane Grout Technology (UGT), by its nature, cures via an air-dry process. This process is variable due to the forces of nature; namely, temperature and humidity. Normal cure time for Urethane Grouts is 72 hours; however, environmental conditions and other factors can extend the cure time significantly depending on the application. To solve these problems, we developed StarCure^® Urethane Grout cure accelerator to tackle damp environments and to offer faster cure times.

Mud beds in particular can be a challenging application. Tile is often applied over a partially cured mud bed, forcing moisture to escape from the grout joints. This will interfere with Urethane grout’s ability to cure properly. In most applications it is not possible to wait for the mud bed to cure completely, we recommend the use of StarCure^® for all mud bed applications.

In many commercial applications, crews will grout at night making the job ready for use in the morning. We recommend StarCure^® for these installations and other jobs that require faster cure.
