Before grouting, remove spacers and debris in grout joints and remove dust and dirt using a wet sponge. Do not leave water standing in joints. Substrate temperature must be between 40°F(4°C) and 90°F (32°C). Apply grout release or sealer if necessary.

Mixing:

Stir or shake DUROMIX Polymer Admix thoroughly before use. Add DUROPOX 99 Grout or DUROPOX 99 Sanded Grout powder to proper amount of DUROMIX Polymer Admix and mix by hand or with a slow speed mixer (300 RPM) to a smooth, stiff consistency. Dampen tile surface with water. Spread with a sharp, firm rubber grout float. Work the grout into the joints until completely filled. Use diagonal strokes to pack the joints. Insure that joint is filled and grout is not just sitting on top (i.e. bridging the joint).

Note: For fuller flush joints sprinkle a thin layer of dry grout powder over surface immediately after grouting. When grout darkens over joint, buff with burlap, carpet remnant or cotton rag to pack joint and clean face of tile

Remove excess grout from the face of the tiles with the edge of the grout float. Hold the float at a 90° angle and pull it at a 45° angle diagonally across the joints and tile to avoid pulling out the material

Grout Secondary Cleaning :

Remove remaining grout with a damp sponge (not wet) or a damp towel. Work diagonally to the joints. Allow to dry. When the grout joints are firm polish the surface with a coarse nylon pad or coarse cloth and minimal water.

It is recommended to check the colour of the grout, if it is meeting the desired colour of the client It is recommended to do a small area with actual tile/stone at site and check for any colour ingress into the tile/stone. Many tiles/ stones have high absorption which may lead to wet patches / discoloration / colour marks. Plan to provide proper movement joints, peripheral joints as per TCA EJ l 71 detail to accommodate movements in tile/stone and use flexible grout / sealant to fill these movement joints.

Notes: Use caution when polishing soft glazed tiles or polished stone. Contact DUROXZ technical services for large format tile or stone installations on exterior surfaces

Shelf Life:

Factory sealed packs of this product are guaranteed to be of first quality for two (2) years if stored off the ground in a dry area. High humidity will reduce the shelf life of bagged product.

Limitations:

Consult with Technical Services for specific exterior grouting recommendations. For industrial applications exposed to high concentra­ tions of food and mineral acids and to high heat, use DUROPOXY-l 5K Epoxy Grout. Protect from exposure to acids and strong cleaners during service periods. Acidic cleaners can neutralize the cement based grouts which leads to change of colour, cracking and powdering
