PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Traverfill is a polymer-modified cement based filler specifically formulated for the filling of holes in travertine CHARACTERISTICS:

• Mildew Resistant • High Strength • Easy to clean up • Excellent workability • Non-Toxic

SPECIAL FEATURES: Matches the existing colors of most Roman type travertine fillers. Resists shrinking, is UV stable and is stain resistant.

WHERE AND WHEN TO USE: Can be used for indoor and outdoor applications to fill the natural holes in travertine.

PACKAGING: 25 LB pail STORAGE: Store in areas away from heat and moisture and protect from physical damage. Segregate from acids and oxidizers. PREPARATION: Before filling wait 24 hours after tile has been set to insure proper adhesion of tile to substrate. Wipe excess materials from holes before filling. APPLICATION: Add sufficient cool, clean water to dry mix to form a smooth paste-like trowelable mix. Allow mix to slake for

5-10 minutes, then remix before application. For increased strength and color retention, use VMC Traverfill Acrylic Mortar Additive at a ratio of 1:1 with water. Spread Traverfill over surface of tile with a soft rubber grout float. Work diagonally across tiles to insure a complete filling of the holes. Remove excess Traverfill from face of tile as work progresses. After Traverfill haze appears and Traverfill becomes firm, sponge the remaining Traverfill off with a clean, damp sponge. CURING: Minimum cure is reached in 24 hours, any type of traffic shall be restricted for 72 hours. MAINTENANCE: Reapply as necessary to fill any holes that may reappear over a period of time.
