ARDEX ENDURA EPOXY GROUT Resin Based Tile Joint Grout, Joint Width: 1 - 12 Mm

EPOXY GROUT is hygienic, hard-wearing, impervious, 3 component epoxide resin-based grout with a high degree of resistance to chemical attack, abrasion and impact. The cured grout does not transfer taints to food products, prevents the entry of bacteria or dirt and is easily maintained in a sterile condition. EPOXY GROUT is designed for grouting glazed tiles, mosaic, vitrified and fully vitrified tiles, ceramic tiles, industrial tiles, granites, marbles & other natural stones etc.

Features:

• Hygienic and chemical resistant
• Stain and bacterial resistant
• Provides high strength and durable joints
• Suitable for submerged conditions
• Easy to be cleaned from tiled surface
• Conforms to the Overall Migration Standards laid down in 21 CFR 175 – 300 (April 1, 2011) of US – FDA for intended use for contact with aqueous food products
• Exceeds EN 13888 requirements

Application Instructions
Surface Considerations:

• Before commencing grouting, the adhesive bed must be set
• The joints must be clean of all adhesive residue, dust or debris
• Lightly sponge the tile surface to remove dust & dirt.

Movement Joints: These should be provided in accordance with BS 5385 : part 1 - 5 and may be filled with the appropriate flexible sealant. Intermediate floor joints should be reinforced with brass or stainless steel. Use stainless steel where hygiene is essential.

Mixing:
The EPOXY GROUT consistency can be adjusted to suit the application and site conditions by varying the quantity of PART C added to the mixed PART A and PART B.

Shake the bottle of PART B and stir PART A. In a clean mixing vessel, take Part A and add Part B and mix until a slump free smooth paste is obtained. If an electric drill mixer is used blend on a slow speed (less than 300rpm). Slowly add the required amount of PART C and mix until a uniform colour is achieved. Immediately pour the mixed grout onto the working area

Application:

• Using a hard rubber grout float, compact the EPOXY GROUT into the joints ensuring that they are completely filled. Work in small areas and remove as much excess from the tile/stones surface as possible. Strike off excess materials diagonally to the grout lines
• Plug open-ended joints with the stiffer mix to prevent any slumping of the EPOXY GROUT joints from occurring. 
• Between 30 - 45 minutes after application (check for joints to be stiff), use a scrubber dampened with clean water to scrub the tile surface in a circular motion (in both clock-wise and anti-clock-wise directions) 
• Clean the tile surface with a fine sponge, diagonally to the grout lines taking care not to drag the grout from the joints. 
• After 12 - 24 hours, clean the tile surface with water and soap solution to remove any epoxy stains

NOTE:

• In general the PART C usage will vary depending on the consistency, temperature, different usage conditions, walls and floors building up of thickness, etc.
• Grouting at certain points: stiffer consistency required to 'stop' open-ended joints or grout skirting tiles.

Cleaning:
Tools and containers may be cleaned using water when the adhesive is still fresh. The hardened adhesive can be removed from tools mechanically

Precautions:
Keep out of reach of children. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eyes/face protection. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of clean water. In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice.
