EPOXYÉLITE EVO FR
ACID-RESISTANT TWO-PART EPOXY MORTAR
TO GROUT CERAMIC TILES
AND MOSAICS WITH 1 to 15 mm JOINTS
FOR THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR INSTALLATION OF FLOORING
AND WALLS.
LOW FLAME-PROPAGATION PRODUCT
COMPLIES WITH DIRECTIVE 2014/90/ EU (MED) PURSUANT TO
IMO 2010 FTP Code FOR THE USE IN THE MARINE INDUSTRY
PRODUCT WITH ULTRA-LOW EMISSION OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOC)
DESCRIPTION
Two-part anti-acid epoxy mortar. Part A consists of a mixture of
epoxy resin, selected fine-grain inert aggregates, pigments and
specific organic additives. Part B consists of an innovative organic
catalyst. Once mixed together, the two parts form a creamy mixture
with excellent smoothness, which is also suitable for vertical no-slip
application. Once hardened, the product is high-performing in term
of mechanical and chemical resistance. The product has been
expressly formulated to meet the requirements of Part 5 of the IMO
FTP Code 2010 as “finishing material for bulkheads and ceilings”
for the naval sector.
ADVANTAGES
• Reactive grout formulated with specific raw materials with limited
flame-propagation properties, which gives the product exceptional
ease of application.
• Depending on the grain texture of the aggregates, it is possible to
obtain a particularly smooth and compact grout with a high
aesthetic impact and minimum staining.
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor floor and wall applications, even
in harsh operating conditions.
• Product with high resistance to mechanical stress and chemical
substances and no water absorption.
• Product with ultra-low emission of volatile organic compounds.
Compliant with EC1
PLUS
classes according to the EMICODE
protocol and Class A +, pursuant to French Regulations.
• Product not subject to restrictions for road, sea, air and rail
transport.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION
Suitable for the acid-resistant grouting of floors and walls, for
application on ceramic tiles and mosaics with 1 to 15 mm wide
joints, in the naval sector, in combination with the reactive
adhesive Litoelastic EVO FR. Suitable for applications where the
surfaces are exposed to aggressive chemical substances (see
Chemical Resistance Table) such as dairies, slaughterhouses,
breweries, and food factories in general. Suitable for applications
subject to heavy-duty operating conditions, such as swimming
pools, hammams, whirlpools, heavy-traffic floors, and tiles exposed
to extreme temperature fluctuations. Typical applications include:
• Grouting of ceramic tiles and mosaics on wooden kitchen tops;
• Grouting of ceramic tiles and mosaics in swimming pools,
including surfaces waterproofed with Elastocem, Coverflex or
Aquamaster;
• Grouting of ceramic tiles, mosaics and natural stones installed on
metal surfaces for the construction of prefabricated bathrooms;
• Grouting of ceramic tiles, thin reinforced slabs, mosaics, natural
stones or resin agglomerates installed on heated floors;
• Grouting of glass or ceramic mosaic joints installed on structures
and templates of extruded polystyrene panels used in Turkish
baths, hammams and wellness centres;
• Also recommended for grouting swimming pools or pools
containing spring water.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS AND JOINT PREPARATION
Make sure that the ceramic tiles can be cleaned easily and their
surface is not absorbent. In fact, some types of tiles (e.g., polished
porcelain tiles) or natural stones feature micro-porosities and
surface roughness that can stain their surface and make cleaning
very difficult. In these cases, it is advisable to perform a spot test
and, in any case, avoid using grouts with contrasting or very dark
colours.
Check that the adhesive or mortar used for bonding the tiles is
completely hardened and dry. The joints must be clean, free from
dust and any debris. Any traces of adhesive or mortar flowing
between the joints and the plastic spacers must be removed.
MIX RATIO
Part A: 93.7 parts by weight
Part B: 6.3 parts by weight
The two parts are pre-batched in their respective packaging.
MIX PREPARATION
Pour part B (catalyst) onto part A (paste). We recommend pouring
all the catalyst contained in the bag. Mix preferably with the help of
a drill mixer to obtain a smooth, lump-free mixture. Hand mixing is
