The Unsaid Role of Joint Fillers in Construction

While there are innumerable alternatives when choosing natural stones or marble for your space. But if it is white marble or light-coloured natural stone then joint fillers must come into play. As the name suggests, they fill in the gaps between individual pieces. Their core responsibility is to ensure strong chemistry for significant bonding of two separate entities.

Need for Joint Fillers

Walls or floors clad with Marble and other natural stones are likely to expand or contract when the surrounding temperature changes. This often results in cracks. A good joint filler allows them to expand or contract without causing damage to the upper surface.

But that's not all! Joint fillers like PULU G also make the surface look more pleasant by making the joints invisible, giving a seamless appearance to the surface. On top of that, walls and floors built using PULU G require less maintenance and could remain almost ‘unharmed’ for years to come.

PULU G: The Ideal Joint Filler

• Zero-yellowing Promise
  Natural Stones and Marble usually show the yellowing effect due to their exposure to agents such as water, acids, or even bleach and temperature fluctuations. But PULU G comes with the promise of zero yellowing.

• Impeccable Chemistry
  PULU G's 2-component thixotropic reaction-resin system results in seamless joint filling and bonding of natural stones. It is formulated to give your surfaces the following advantages:

  • Non-bleeding
  • UV Resistant
  • Resistant to Chemicals
  • Excellent adhesion with very low shrinkage
  • For Both Outdoor & Indoor Applications
  

RachTR MH103T THIXO may be considered as another alternative. It is unsaturated polyester based transparent thixotropic gel for filling large cracks and joint of colored natural stones and tiles. Here’s why it works:

• Rectifies large cracks in the marble and fills joints in colored marble

• Fast curing enables lesser working time. The piece can be polished after 30 minutes

• Excellent adhesion with minimal shrinkage

• Colors can be mixed easily to get the desired shade

Thirdly, RachTR Epoxy 201 G could be considered for filling the joints. It is a thixotropic, solvent-free, UV-resistant, 2-component epoxy resin-based system for joint filling of white and other light-coloured stones. Below are a few of its USPs: 

• Fill joints, cracks on white marble such as Thassos, Statuario, Onyx etc.

• Non-yellowing epoxy, which lasts for several years without de-bonding

• Stain-proof system, which gives seamless finish and appearance

• Pigments can be mixed to get the desired shade as per requirement

The world is advancing; why should joint fillers stay behind? Brands like RachTR ensure structures last longer than ever with wonders like PULU G, Epoxy 201 G, and MH103T THIXO.
