Description:
A specially formulated, polymer modified cement based floor and wall tile grout. Recommended for sanitary
installations ie. kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and shower rooms. Containing a strong fungicide it will also inhibit
black spot mould growth. Conforms to EN 13888: CGW2.
Uses
STERI-GROUT is suitable for use in areas of limited movement/
vibration so ideal for use over timber ply-boards and heated subfloors. Recommended for sanitary installations ie. kitchens,
bathrooms, power showers, toilets and shower rooms. This grout
has excellent adhesion characteristics to porcelain and fully
vitrified tiles, has low permeability and reduced dirt pick up.
Containing a strong fungicide it will also inhibit black spot mould
growth. Can be used in interior and exterior locations.
Preparation
Check that all the tiles are securely fixed and that the tile adhesive
has thoroughly dried before applying any load or pressure to the
tiled surface. Allow adhesive to set sufficiently before applying
grout. Ensure joints are clean, dry and free from dust and
obstructions. Use only in joints from 1mm-20mm wide. It is
recommended that current best practice e.g. current TTA or COP
guidelines are always followed.
Mixing
STERI-GROUT powder should be added to clean water, Mix the
powder with clean water (approx. 750ml: 3Kg bag) to a thick,
creamy paste by either hand or slow speed mixing drill and
paddle. When mixing by hand allow the mixed grout to stand for a
few minutes then remix to ensure an even consistency.
Do not mix more than can be used in a 30-60 minute period. Partused grout should never be “freshened up” by adding more water,
discard any grout once it appears to lose workability.
Application
Using a grouting tool, sponge or squeegee, work the mixed grout
thoroughly into dry tile joints ensuring the joints are completely
filled. Remove excess grout from the face of tiles with a damp
sponge or cloth. Use a suitable tool to compact the grout into
joints. After initial hardening of the grout, clean the tile surface
using a clean dampened sponge working diagonally across the
grout lines. Once the grout is set polish the tiles with a soft cloth.
Protect from damp for 24 hours after grouting. Clean tools after
use with warm water. Mechanical means may be necessary when
product has set.
Open Time
Open time of the exposed adhesive bed is approx. 20 minutes,
dependant on conditions. Pot life approx 30-60 minutes @ 20oC.
Drying Time
Final set will occur between 12-24 hours. Cement based products
will take longer to harden and set at lower temperatures and
should not be used below 5o
C. Light foot traffic: after 12 hours;
Full traffic: after 24-48 hours (dependant on site conditions).
Limitations
Slight colour variation may occur between batches. Colour
variation will occur under different mixing and/or site conditions.
Any cement film should be removed as soon as possible with an
acid based cleaner. Always pre-wet joints when using an acid
based cleaner. When grouting textured and slip-resistant tiles,
ensure grout residue is throughly cleaned off before it has set.
Please note: Certain tiles may suffer from discolouration or
scratching when using grouts. We would recommend that a test
application be carried out prior to grouting. Our grouts go through
stringent checks to ensure quality and colour, however due to the
use of raw materials we suggest a trial area to ensure colour is
consistent and as expected.
Coverage
This will vary depending on the tile size, joint depth and width.
Approximately 1Kg of STERI-GROUT will grout 2m2 of 300 x 300mm
tiles with a 5mm joint.
Cleaning
Tools should be washed with water immediately after use with
warm water.
Container Size
3Kg plastic sacks.
Colour
Available in 7 colours: white, Ivory, limestone, black, grey, jasmine
and silver grey.
Never compromise on quality!
