Steri-Grout Mould Resistant Wall & Floor Tile Grout

Description

Name: Steri-Grout Mould Resistant Wall & Floor Tile Grout

Mould resistant flexible floor & wall tile grout. A specially formulated, polymer modified cement based floor and wall tile grout. Containing a strong fungicide it will also inhibit black spot mould growth and reduce dirt pick up. Conforms to EN 13888: CG2W

Features: Contains a fungicide. – Water and mould resistant. – For joints up to 20mm. – For interior and exterior applications. – Suitable for use with timber boards and underfloor heating. – Excellent adhesion characteristics.

Application: Suitable for use in areas of limited movement/vibration so ideal for use over timber ply-boards and heated subfloors. Recommended for sanitary installations ie. kitchens, bathrooms, power showers, toilets and shower rooms. This grout has excellent adhesion characteristics to porcelain and fully vitrified tiles, has low permeability and reduced dirt pick up. Containing a strong fungicide it will also inhibit black spot mould growth. Can be used to grout joints from 2mm to 20mm.

Instructions: Preparation: Check that all the tiles are securely fixed and that the tile adhesive has thoroughly dried before applying any load or pressure to the tiled surface. Allow adhesive to set sufficiently before applying grout. Ensure joints are clean, dry and free from dust and
obstructions. For use in joints up to 20mm wide.
Mixing: Add to clean water to the following ratios:
– Colours: mix at 25% water (ca. 750ml per 3kg).
– White: mix at 35% water (ca. 1L per 3kg).
Mix to a thick, creamy paste by either hand or slow speed mixing drill and paddle. When mixing by hand allow the mixed grout to stand for a few minutes then remix to ensure an even consistency. Do not mix more than can be used in a 30-60 minute period. Part-used grout should never be “freshened up” by adding more water,
discard any grout once it appears to lose workability.
Application: Using a grouting tool, sponge or squeegee, work the mixed grout
thoroughly into dry tile joints ensuring the joints are completely filled. Remove excess grout from the face of tiles with a damp sponge or cloth. Use a suitable tool to compact the grout into joints. After initial hardening of the grout, clean the tile surface using a clean dampened sponge working diagonally across the grout lines. Once the grout is set polish the tiles with a soft cloth. Protect from damp for 24 hours after grouting.
Open Time: Pot life approx 60 minutes @+20oC.
Drying Time: Final set will occur between 12-24 hours. Cement based products
will take longer to harden and set at lower temperatures and should not be used below +5oC. Light foot traffic: after 12 hours; Full traffic: after 24-48 hours (dependant on site conditions).
Cleaning: Tools should be washed with water immediately after use with warm water. Mechanical means may be necessary when product has set.

Limitations: Slight colour variation may occur between batches. Colour variation will occur under different mixing and/or site conditions. Always check batch numbers match if you are using for the same application. Any cement film should be removed as soon as
possible with an acid based cleaner. Always pre-wet joints when using an acid based cleaner. When grouting textured and slip resistant tiles, ensure grout residue is throughly cleaned off before it has set. Please note: wide joint grouts can, if used with very highly polished tiles, scratch or discolour the surface of the tile. In these instances we would recommend use of a narrow joint type formulation which would cope with the wider joints and avoid the risk of scratching. The Steri-Grout WHITE option is formulated with smaller particles which is suitable for use in these instances. Always test a small inconspicuous area prior to grouting.
