CONTINUED PROTECTION The premium formulas in the ARDEX ACP range offer up to 20 years performance. Wear and longevity of the product varies depending on the tile, grout and project surface, environmental conditions, type of use and type and frequency of traffic over the project area. Weather conditions and harsh cleaning methods will affect wear. The recommended frequency of reapplication will vary depending on these conditions.
