UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout

Description UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout is a is a water-based epoxy resin grout for waterproof, stain resistant grouting of porcelain tiles, ceramics, natural stone (compatibility to be checked prior to grouting) and glass mosaics to revolutionise your grouting requirements. Suitable for wall and floor tiling in environments where hygiene is key such as kitchens and hospitals, as well as, wetrooms and swimming pools. UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout is available in the following colours: White, Jasmine, Grey, Silver Grey and Charcoal. All colours are supplied in 3kg tubs. Surface Preparation: Before grouting joints with UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout, check that tiles have been laid correctly and are anchored perfectly to the substrate. Substrates must be perfectly dry. Grout joints in accordance with the recommended waiting time indicated on the relative data sheet for the adhesive used. For mortar substrates, wait at least 7 – 14 days depending on screed thickness, ambient weather conditions and on the level of absorption of the covering and the substrate. Any water or moisture rising can cause vapour pressure to accumulate, which may in turn loosen the tiles on account of the complete non-absorbency of the grout or of the tiles themselves. Joints must be free from any excess adhesive, even if already hardened. Furthermore, they must be of an even depth for the whole width of the tile covering, thereby ensuring maximum chemical resistance. Any dust and loose debris must be removed from joints by carefully cleaning them with vacuum cleaner. The surface of the coating material to be grouted must be dry and free from dust or building dirt; any residual protective coatings must first be removed using specific products. Before grouting joints, check the cleanability of the tile covering, as porous or highly micro-porous surfaces may make cleaning difficult. It is advisable to perform a preliminary test with UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout on tiles not to be laid or in a small, concealed area. Mixing: UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout is a two part grout – Component B is on top with Component A on the bottom of the pack. Open Component B and force the unit open ensuring all of component B is added to component A. Mix the two components using a low speed helicoidal paddle and drill until a smooth, even coloured mixture is obtained. Mixing UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout by hand is not recommended. The mixture remains workable for approximately 30 – 40 minutes. Application: UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy must be applied evenly on the tile covering with a hard rubber spreader. Grout material has to be completely filled between entire joint areas, the application has to be done diagonally with respect to the joints. If grouting is to be on joints only, it is recommended that a test with UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout be carried out in advance before laying to ensure the surface can be properly cleaned. Remove most of the excess grout immediately using the spreader, leaving only a thin film on the tile. Cleaning: First pass: First cleaning with rubber spreader: once the joints have been filled with UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout, remove any excess grout that is left on the tiles immediately with the rubber spreader (working diagonally). Use the wash-boy to carry out the first cleaning pass with a cellulose sponge or abrasive felt pad, removing any excess grout from the surface. Use wash-boy to carry out the second and final cleaning pass, finishing and smoothing the grout in the joint. Change the washing water frequently so that it is always clean. Replace the sponge or felt pad if they become impregnated with product. Cleaning with cellulose sponge: clean when the applied UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout is still fresh, using a cellulose sponge dampened with the water from tray. Use circular movements to soften the film of grout on the tiles and finish the joints. Collect up the emulsion formed on the tiles using the sponge. Cleaning with abrasive felt pad for structured surfaces: for more structured surfaces, clean when the grout is still fresh, using a felt pad dampened with the water from tray. Use circular movements to soften the film of grout on the tiles and finish the joints. Collect up the emulsion formed on the tiles using the sponge. Second pass: Finishing with a cellulose sponge: finish cleaning with a cellulose sponge dampened with water from tray, working diagonally to the tiles so as not to dig into the joints. Do not walk on the damp floors for at least 12 – 24 hours, to avoid leaving dirt. Finishing with foam rubber sponge for a smoother joint: for a smooth finish, complete cleaning with a foam rubber sponge dampened with water from tray, working diagonally to the tiles so as not to dig into the joints. On the following day: Once UltraTile ProGrout Epoxy Resin Tile Grout has dried, any traces of dirt and streaks can be removed using UltraTile ProClean Resin-Off Grout Residue Remover. Distribute the product over the surface to be treated, using the abrasive felt pad and leaving a thin, even film of liquid. Leave Ultra ProClean Resin-Off to work for about 10-20 minutes. (depending on the heaviness of deposits). After this, clean the surface manually with abrasive felt pad. Collect up the solution with the sponge, rubber scraper or liquid vacuum system for large surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry immediately with a dry cloth or liquid vacuum system, without allowing the residual water to evaporate. Repeat for highly stubborn dirt/deposits.
