Bostik Hydroment Vivid Rapid-Curing Grout – 10 lb Bag

Hydroment® Vivid™ is a rapid-curing, high-performance cement grout built for pros who want predictable color, fast return to service, and easier cleanup. Bostik’s HyDrix™ Technology helps control curing and strength development, while Color Suspension™ keeps pigment evenly suspended during installation for more consistent grout joints. Suitable for interior/exterior, floors/walls, and dry to intermittent wet or even submerged applications (with proper cure time).

Features

HyDrix™ controlled curing: Helps manage the timing and formation of the grout’s internal matrix for strong, durable joints and reliable jobsite performance.
Color Suspension™ consistency: Forms a protective matrix around pigment to keep color evenly suspended during application and cleanup for more uniform grout lines.
Rapid curing: Keep foot traffic off until firmly set—typically ~3–4 hours (temperature/humidity affect cure).
Wide joint range: Designed for 1/16" to 1/2" grout joints.
Stain resistance + no sealer required: Naturally enhanced stain resistance reduces maintenance steps and callbacks.
Efflorescence resistance: Helps reduce whitening and hazing for cleaner-looking joints.
Fiber-reinforced performance: Improved crack resistance and non-sag handling for wall work.
0 VOCs (SCAQMD 1168): VOC compliant for indoor jobs and occupied spaces.
Blockade® Antimicrobial Protection: Helps protect against bacteria, mold, and mildew growth on the surface of the dried grout.
Installer-friendly working characteristics: Grout “floats” smoothly across tile, tools easily, and cleans up with proper timing and minimal water.

More Details

When you need a high-performance rapid-setting grout that works on both floors and walls, Hydroment Vivid is a strong choice for commercial and residential tile installations where downtime matters. Installers commonly reach for fast-curing grout on restaurant remodels, occupied homes, and retail refreshes—places where getting back on the surface quickly is the difference between finishing on schedule and returning tomorrow. This grout is formulated to provide smooth application, strong stain resistance, and improved efflorescence protection, while maintaining color consistency through cleanup. For best results, prep joints to the proper depth, avoid overwashing during cleanup (which can lighten color), and follow cure guidance—especially for wet areas and submerged installs (immersion requires extended cure time). If your project needs higher chemical resistance, consider an epoxy option; for polished marble, use a grout recommended for that surface.

Montolit 245T Replacement Scoring Wheels

Second set. Love them. You don't have to tighten them down for them to stay in place. They can be relatively loose, and you will forget they're there, which is huge for people that have to wear kneepads for long periods of time. And when you are down on them, you feel supported and stable.
