Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean, damp and free of oil, grease, and other contaminants. Remove fins, protrusions, excess mortar, and other loose material to obtain good adhesion.
Tile must be firmly attached to a sound substrate and setting material must be cured a minimum of 5 hours (walls) and 24 hours (floors) before grouting. Remove all spacers. Grout joints should be uniform in depth and width.
Porous and absorbent surfaces should be damp but not wet prior to applying Tile Grout. Do not leave standing water in the joints.
Drying Time
• Initial Setting : 5 hours.
• Note : Drying time can be affected by many factors such as temperature, ventilation and coat thickness. Higher temperatures will shorten the drying times.
Storing Conditions
• Store in dry conditions in the original and unopened sacks. Avoid powder to be exposed to high temperatures and high humidity conditions.
• Shelf life is one year from packing date in unopened original paper bags at 10 to 40°C.
• Safety: Avoid skin or eye contact. Prolonged contact may cause irritation of the skin and mucous membranes.
