Starlike Crystal EVO Epoxy Grout
– 1Kg, 2.5Kg and 5Kg Tubs

Is a two-component acid-resistant translucent epoxy grout for grouting clear and artistic vitreous mosaics with joints up to 3 mm wide. Patent pending. For interiors and exteriors. Suitable for underfloor heating. Product with very low volatile organic compound emission rate.

GENERAL
Litokol’s Starlike Crystal EVO Epoxy Grout Is a two-component acid-resistant translucent epoxy grout.
Part A consists in a mix of epoxy resin, fine glass sphere aggregates and organic rheological components. Component B consists in an innovative organic catalyst with lower exposure risks for users.
Once mixed together, the two components form a creamy and fluid mix, which is also suitable for vertical application with no dripping.
Once set, the product reaches very high performance levels in terms of mechanical strength and chemical resistance.

ADVANTAGES – Starlike Crystal EVO Epoxy Grout

• Bacteriostatic product which prevents the spread of fungi and moulds
• Non-absorbent
• High mechanical strength
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Recycled material content ≥ 50%

FIELDS OF APPLICATION
Grouting the tiled surface using Litokol’s Starlike Crystal EVO Epoxy Grout:
Apply the mix in the joints using a special rubber float until saturation, making diagonal movements with respect to the direction of the joints and removing any excess material from the surface of the ceramic covering.
For large surfaces, a single disc machine with abrasion-resistant rubber brusher can be used.
The product’s pot life and setting time is strongly dependent on the ambient temperature.
Low temperatures will lengthen the setting time, high temperatures will shorten it.
The ideal temperature for application is between +18 and +23°C.
At temperatures less than +10°C, the product is very dense and difficult to apply. The setting time is also considerably lengthened.
Do not add water or solvents to improve workability.
In hot weather, it is advisable to spread the product on the flooring as quickly as possible so as not to shorten the pot life even further due to the heat of reaction in the container.
Do not use if the temperature is forecast to drop below +10°C in the following 24 hours.
