STARLIKE EVO – DESCRIPTION

Litokol’s Starlike EVO Epoxy Grout is a two-component acid-resistant epoxy grout. Component A consists of a mixture of epoxy resin, sintered micro sphere with fine granulometry an d specific organic additives. Component B consists of an innovative organic catalyst with lower exposure risks for users. Once mixed together, the two components form a creamy mixture with excellent smoothness, which is also suitable for walls application without vertical slip with no dripping. Once hardened, the product is high-performing in term of mechanical and chemical resistance.
