Epoxy Solvent Free Epoxy Grout

TILE GROUT EP is a high performance, three-component, solvent-free epoxy resin used for grouting and bedding of various tiles and ceramics over concrete and steel surfaces.
It is a heavy duty adhesive and grout with high a bonding strength, excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkali, solvents, and maximum protection against staining and bacterial attack.

TILE GROUT EP is an ideal material to bed and grout tiles in a single operation with one material. It is used wherever a chemical resistance and excellent mechanical properties are required.
Typical applications include the following:

• To fill a minor marble joint gap indoor and outdoor.
• Industrial kitchens and catering facilities.
• Electrical substations and plant rooms.
• Hospitals and Laboratories.
• Swimming pools and leisure facilities.
• Heavy duty workshops, garages and services facilities.
• Bottling plants and breweries.

• Smooth finish.
• Easy-on application.
• High ultimate compressive strength.
• Excellent chemical resistance.
• Impermeable when immersed in water.
• Primerless.
• Non-toxic; can be used in most areas where drink and food stuffs are processed.
• Excellent adhesion to most commonly encountered building substrates and materials.
• Suitable for vertical and horizontal applications in interior and exterior locations.
• Available in a range of attractive colors.
• No VOC.

The surface should be dry (moisture < 5%) and dust, laitance, dust and
contaminants should be removed by industrial vacuum.
Prior to application, TILE GROUT EP system should be stored under cover and protected from extreme temperatures which may cause inconsistent workability and cure times for the mixed material. Ideally, at least 24 hours before mixing, TILE GROUT EP system should be maintained at approximately 25°C. During application in cold conditions, the application should be halted if the ambient temperature is likely to fall below 10°C.
Pot life of the mixed material will be affected by ambient temperature.

Base and hardener should be mixed together (mix ratio 2:1 by volume) in a suitable container until uniform color is obtained.
Use of heavy duty slow speed power drill with a jiffy mixing blade then add gradually the filler using steel spatula to remove the holding material.

Apply TILE GROUT EP on the bed and repaired areas with a spatula, scraper or palette knife above the existing finished level. Allow TILE GROUT EP to dry to touch for approximately 6 hours depending on ambient temperature. Extra TILE GROUT EP should be removed immediately by using dry sponge to achieve a clean overall surface.
CURING:
Good curing is essential for resin based materials. Installation using TILE GROUT EP systems can be opened to foot traffic after approximately 24 hours at 25 °C. Complete cure is achieved after 72 hours at 25 °C.
PACKING
13 kg pack including (base, hardener and filler).
COVERAGE
The coverage of TILE GROUT EP depends on the depth and width of tile joints. E.g., A 150 x 150 x 20 mm tile would require 0.25 liter/m2/ 1 mm width.
CLEANING
Tools and equipments should be cleaned immediately by using THINNERCOAT 10 organic solvent.
FLAMMABILITY
TILE GROUT EP is a nonflammable material while THINNERCOAT 10 is flammable. Do not expose to naked flames during application.
SHELF LIFE
12 months in tightly closed container.
