Vitrified tile is an increasingly popular option for dairy flooring, according to Atlas Minerals & Chemicals Inc. Atlas has developed a carbon-filled novolac epoxy-based jointing material for optimal chemical resistance. The company’s new vitrified tile grout is the carbon-filled Atlas VTF Novolac Grout C. It consists of broadcasts of carbon filler and carbon fine with the power grouting technique common to vitrified tile installations. It has chemical resistance, particularly at elevated temperatures, and color stability.
