Preparation and Application Instructions

1.  Surface Preparation

  • Ensure that the surface to be grouted is clean, dry, and free of any contaminants, such as dirt, dust, grease, or old adhesive residues.
  • Remove any excess water or moisture from the substrate. Ensure the joints are clean and free from debris. Use a vacuum or a brush to clear the grout joints.

2. Mixing

  • Mix Component A (epoxy resin) and Component B (hardener) in the correct ratio (as indicated on the packaging) until a uniform color and consistency is achieved.
  • Ensure the mixture is free from lumps and thoroughly blended for optimal performance.
  • Mix only the amount of grout that can be applied within the pot life (30-45 minutes).

3. Application

  • Use a rubber float or grout applicator to apply the grout into the joints, pressing firmly to ensure full joint coverage.
  • Remove excess grout using the float at a 45° angle to avoid disturbing the joints.
  • Allow the grout to set for 15-30 minutes before cleaning excess residual with a damp sponge.
  • Clean the surface with a damp sponge, rinsing frequently to ensure the surface is smooth and free of grout haze.

4. Curing

  • Allow the grout to cure for a minimum of 24 hours before subjecting it to any traffic or water exposure.
  • Full curing time may extend up to 48 hours, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
