Two-component, versatile, decorative, acid-resistant epoxy grout, with a bacteriostatic agent and BioBlock technology, easy to apply and clean, ideal for grouting ceramic tiles, glass mosaics and stone materials, to be used also in combination with MapeGlitter and Mapecolor Metallic.
Decorative grouting of internal and external tiled floors and walls. Also suitable for an acid-resistant bond to all substrates normally used in the building industry.
Kerapoxy Easy Design allows to create floors, walls, worktops etc. in compliance with the HACCP system and the requirements of EC Regulation No. 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs.
Kerapoxy Easy Design is a two-component, epoxy resin-based decorative grout, with glass micro-spheres and other special components.
It has an excellent resistance to acids, easy workability and is very easy to clean.
Kerapoxy Easy Design has a bacteriostatic agent, preventing from the proliferation of bacteria and the formation of mould on the surfaces of grouts, making tiled surfaces hygienic and safe, thanks to the innovative BioBlock technology developed as a result of MAPEI research.
APPLICATION METHOD WHEN USED AS ACID-RESISTANT GROUT
The joints must be dry, clean, free from dust and empty down to at least 2/3 of the thickness of the tiles. Any adhesive or mortar which has seeped into the joints while laying the tiles must be removed while still fresh. Before grouting, make sure the installation mortar or adhesive has set and that most of the moisture has evaporated. Kerapoxy Easy Design is not harmed by damp from the substrate, but the joints must not be wet when grouting.
Pour the catalyst (component B) into the container of component A and mix well until a smooth paste is obtained. We recommend using a low-speed electric mixer to guarantee perfect blending, and to avoid overheating of the mix which would reduce the workability time.
Where required, add MapeGlitter or Mapecolor Metallic once the blend has been mixed, at a variable ratio depending on the aesthetic effect desired, within the limits described above (up to 6% for MapeGlitter, 3% for Mapecolor Metallic so that the workability of the grout/mortar is not affected).
Given that Mapecolor Metallic is extremely fine and volatile, it is recommended to use and mix the product in exterior, in an area protected from draughts. Interior use may cause the product dispersion in the environment and its deposit on the surfaces.
Add Mapecolor Metallic after mixing the two components of Kerapoxy Easy Design (A+B). Create a hole in the paste obtained and pour Mapecolor Metallic in it; cover it and manually mix to properly blend the powder pigment. Then mix with a low-speed mixer to avoid the possible product dispersion in the enviroment.
Use the mix within 45 minutes of preparation.
Spread Kerapoxy Easy Design over the tiled surface with a special rubber grout float (such as MAPEI float), making sure that the joints are filled right down to the bottom. Remove excess material by passing the edge of the same trowel diagonally over the tile joints.
After mixing the two components as described above, spread the adhesive on the substrate using a suitable notched trowel. Firmly press the tiles/mosaics into the adhesive bed to guarantee good adhesive transfer. Once set, the bond is extremely strong and resistant to chemical agents.
This is a product with very low emission of volatile organic compounds and is classified Emicode EC1 Plus by GEV when used for grouting. Kerapoxy Easy Design may be mixed with up to 6 % by weight of MapeGlitter, metallised coloured glitter, to create aesthetic effects. Percentage depends on the aesthetic effect and workability desired. MapeGlitter is available in silver and gold.
Kerapoxy Easy Design may be mixed with Mapecolor Metallic, available in pre-dosed sachets (90 g, equal to 3% by weight of a 3 kg drum of Kerapoxy Easy Design), powder pigment based on very high-quality pearlescent mica, to create a metallic effect.
Mapecolor Metallic is available in Moonlight (similar to platinum), Sahara (similar to gold), Shining (similar to silver), Red clay (similar to copper), Stardust (similar to dark silver). In order to obtain a homogeneous mix, we suggest to add Mapecolor Metallic of the desired colour to Kerapoxy Easy Design 700 (translucent).
Mixing Mapecolor Metallic with Kerapoxy Easy Design of other colours may result in numerous metallic effects with different intensity and shades. It is recommended to carry out preliminary tests since the result may vary based on the colours and quantities used, however within the maximum dosage of 3% by weight so that the workability of the grout/mortar is not affected.
When applied correctly, Kerapoxy Easy Design produces joints with the following characteristics:
This page is many, many years out of date. To make a long story short, in 2022 you shouldn't consider anything other than KingsRow or Cake, running under the CheckerBoard interface (links are below within the text). These run on Windows and run perfectly on Linux using Wine. I don't have up-to-dat recommendations for Mac or iPhone. On Android, Aart Bik's "Checkers" is currently the best choice. *** Original article follows *** Please note that all programs reviewed are tested on the Windows XP operating system unless explicitly stated otherwise (there are a couple of old MS-DOS programs and a couple of Linux programs). I do not have a Mac and so I cannot test Mac programs; independent guest reviews are welcomed.
Quick advice on using the ratings: if you want the best, go with a Class A program. You might go to Class B to select entries smaller in size or with special visual appeal. You might consider Class C for certain needs, such as Linux programs. Avoid Classes D and F unless you're looking for a children's program or have a specific reason, and even then, be very selective.
There are many, many checker programs out there; every time I search the net I find new ones or ones not previously discovered. While a few are really worthy, most of them are pure junk. I review as many as I can, but I can't possibly buy and review them all, and in recent months (fall 2005 onward) I've not been trying to keep up with the all-too-numerous new releases of unworthy dreck.
Disclaimer: the ratings and comments given here are my own. Your own evaluation will vary. You must do your own analysis prior to spending money or making selections. I take no responsibility and assume no liability of any kind.
And anyways, who am I, a poor player on a good day, to be reviewing checker programs? Well, I've worked with software for decades, played board games even longer, and I have ideas which I am not reluctant to express. You are completely at liberty to ignore my opinions! However, if you feel an injustice has been done, please contact me. Those who have done so have found me to be very willing, and in fact anxious, to correct errors.
2. Rating Parameters. I rate programs according to several criteria. Again, I use the American school grading system, where A is the best grade and F is the worst (failing, in fact). The criteria are these:
I do include screen shots for nearly all programs for which the review is complete. These screen shots are on separate pages so that this page won't have an enormously long loading time. I did prefer larger graphics to preserve detail and give a more accurate impression of the game's apprearance.
Now at version 1.15a, KingsRow runs as a game engine with the CheckerBoard interface. The competition version is apparently ever so slightly weaker than Cake Manchester (based on a recent match won narrowly by Cake Manchester); the download versions of KingsRow, however, may actually be stronger than the download version of Cake Manchester. (We are on a shaky footing here; as updated versions are made available for download, the situation will surely change. There is no doubt, though, that all versions of KingsRow and Cake Manchester are very strong indeed.)
KingsRow uses a very large calculated opening book of over 800,000 positions, and will handle the Chinook 8 piece endgame database and the Martin Fierz 8 piece database, making this engine formidable indeed. The author has recently calculated a 10 piece database which is something like 200GB, obviously not practical for download or even for usage by 99.9% of computer users (nor is it currently available to the public).
It can be scary and formidable, but it's a fabulous playing partner for really intense and serious training (as I discuss in my companion article). It's also quite helpful in doing analysis of games you've played elsewhere.
