After solidification, the surface is smooth, high in strength and wear-resistant, and it is stain-free, mold-free, and easy to clean. Let's talk about the role of epoxy tile gap caulking in detail.

a. Beautification effect

c. Easy to clean

3. Types of tile gap caulking

Generally, tile gap caulking is divided into three categories: tube tile grout, tube epoxy grout, and barrel epoxy grout.

a. Tube tile grout

The main raw material is water-based epoxy resin, a semi-fluid liquid in a tube, which is easy to construct and can fit perfectly in the gap. The resin itself has a glossy feel and good moisture resistance. The disadvantage is that the hardness is poor. After the water gradually evaporates, it will harden and shrink. After solidification, it is easy to form grooves, easy to hide dirt, and poor high temperature resistance.

b. Tube epoxy grout

It can be said to be an upgraded version of tube tile grout. The main raw materials are epoxy resin + hardener. It inherits the advantages of tube tile grout that are waterproof, mildew-proof and dirt-resistant, and improves the disadvantage of low hardness of tube tile grout. The disadvantages are strong gloss and heavy plastic feeling. Because the porcelain is hard, it is easy to fall off when used in places where it is often bumped, and the price is relatively high.

To sum up, if we only consider the performance, barrel epoxy grout > tube epoxy grout > tube tile grout. Of course, the choice of tile grout product should be determined according to your own situation. If you pursue beauty and have sufficient budget, you can directly choose barrel epoxy grout; if you pursue cost-effectiveness and have insufficient budget, you can choose tube tile grout; tube epoxy grout is more suitable for those who want to compromise, have both beauty and cost-effectiveness, and have a sufficient budget.
