not recommended. The two parts are pre-batched in their
packaging, thus avoiding the risk of mixing errors.
TILED SURFACE GROUTING
Apply the paste in the joints using a green rubber trowel (item
946GR), removing any excess product. The product’s working life
and hardening time is strongly dependent on the ambient
temperature. The optimum application temperature is between
+18°C and +23°C. Under these conditions, the product is soft,
easily workable and with a working time of approximately 1 hour. It
is ready for foot traffic after 24 hours. The surface can be
commissioned after 7 days at a temperature of +23°C. At
temperatures between +8°C and +12°C, the product is very thick
and difficult to apply. The hardening time is also lengthened
considerably. Do not add water or solvents to improve workability.
In the presence of high temperatures, we recommend applying the
product as quickly as possible on the floor, in order not to shorten
the workability time further due to the reaction heat present in the
package.
CLEANING AND FINISHING
The grout work must be cleaned and finished while the product is
still wet and in any case in the shortest possible time.Take care not
to remove product from the joints or leave stains on the tile
surface.
First sprinkle clean water over the grouted surface. Perform an
initial cleaning with a trowel equipped with a damp white felt (item
109 GBNC) to remove excess product, making circular movements
clockwise and counter-clockwise, in order to perfectly seal the
sides of the tiles and to remove excess grout from the tile surface.
Complete a second cleaning cycle with a sweepex sponge (item
128G0001) for smooth and gap-free grout, completely removing
the product from the tiles, making sure that you do not remove any
grout from the joints, and drying any excess water. To facilitate the
cleaning operation, we recommend using two bucketfuls of water,
one for rinsing felt and sponge and to collect any dirty water, and
the other with clean water for the final surface cleaning. Replace
felt and sponge when they become soaked with resin and can no
longer be cleaned.
Any product residue left behind on the surface of ceramics can be
removed using Litonet and Litonet Gel cleaners after about 24
hours and, in any case, once the grout has hardened.
WARNINGS
• If possible, apply the product at temperatures between +18°C
and +23°C.
• Do not apply the product under high humidity conditions, in order
to avoid superficial carbonatation phenomena.
• Avoid contact of dust or polluting materials from concomitant
processes with grout that has not yet hardened.
• Promptly remove any excess product from the tile surface given
that, once hardened, the product can only be removed
mechanically, with serious risks of compromising the final outcome.
• The product cannot be used for grouting Tuscan terracotta.
• 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.
• The product cannot be used for grouting tanks containing
aggressive substances, which are allowed only for intermittent
contact (see Chemical Resistance Table).
• Do not mix the product with water or solvents.
• Do not use the product for applications not stated in this technical
sheet
