PREDICABLE POWER To meet the specific needs of the construction and general rental sectors, Atlas Copco is introducing a new range of portable generators. The application-oriented QES, available for worldwide order now, was designed to offer ease of use and straightforward service.

The new 2 kg packaging option, which officially went into production in June 2015, perfectly complements To improve productivity and efficiency in tiling projects, TAL now supplies its tried- and-trusted Wall & Floor grout range in a 2 kg packaging option – ideal for the DIY enthusiast. > the existing 5 kg and 20 kg TALWall and Floor grout bags. TAL marketing manager Gela Ohl explains: “Having identified the issue of wastage in smaller work areas, TAL responded to the market’s needs with the introduction of this new bag size, which is ideal for smaller installations, repairs or when reviving grout.” TAL Wall and Floor grout is a cement- based grout specifically-designed for filling wall and floor tile joints between 2 mm and 8 mmwide. For added convenience, the 2 kg TALWall and Floor grout is packaged in plastic bags that feature a clear window. This allows the user to easily identify their preferred colour options, since powder grout is the same colour as grout that has cured in the tile joints. In the case where a latex additive such as TAL Bond has been added as a total water replacement in the grout mix, the final grout colour will be slightly darker or richer. The 2kg bag also includes a QR Code which links to TAL’s step-by-step YouTube channel video guide on how to grout. “I am confident that the new 2 kg TALWall and Floor grout bag will be well-received by retailers, as it completes the retail product offering. The launch of this new packaging is proof of our ongoing dedication to contin- uous product research and development, in order to ensure the highest levels of customer satisfaction on a long term basis,” Ohl continues. TAL boasts a comprehensive range of grout for specialised grout applications, including; Goldflex rapid-setting grout; quarry grout for wide tile joints; as well as a number of epoxy-based industrial grouts. For improved efficiency, TAL also supplies installation tools, such as squeegees, sponges and trowels. 2 KG GROUT BAG LAUNCHED

mance and long service intervals of 500 hours. The units are both compact and stackable, reducing storage and transport costs.
