APPLICATION:
An elastic grout for jointing, with decreased water absorption, intended
for jointing every
type of wall and floor ceramic tiles, gres tiles, clinker and natural
stone laid on walls and floors.
Suitable to be applied inside and outside of the premises, for joints of
0 - 15 mm in width.
Recommended to joint tiles laid on balconies, terraces, elevations, floor
heating and plaster cardboard
panels. Special for humid and wet rooms (e.g. shower cabins, bathrooms,
kitchens).
PROPERTIES:
Frost and water resistant, , with maximally decreased water absorption via
hydrophobic agents. It is distinguished by specially assorted composition of finely
granular quartz and marble flour, powder resins and special additives. The EKO
PROTECT system in the joint is arranging and filling micro-particles in such a
way that the structure produced creates a tight system protecting against the
growth of fungi and mold. It does not create bacteriological threat and
therefore it can be used in contact with food. It can be easily mixed and
applied and ensures a smooth surface after processing. It has great adherence
to ceramic, gres tiles and glass mosaics.
It is characterized by high resistance to light. It is available in 42
colours in accordance with the WIM
colour card where, alongside silicon and epoxy joint, it forms a
complete set to finish cladding. It
fulfils the requirements concerning increased abrasion and scratch
resistance, which enables to apply it on floors with intense pedestrian
loading.
PREPARING THE SUBSTRATE:
The joints must be clean, without the remnants of glue, dust and other
impurities decreasing adherence.
They cannot be frozen, either. They should be of the same depth.
Jointing can be started
after the dry set mortar is totally dry, not earlier, however, than
after 24 hours. When fast-setting
glues are used for tiling, the tile jointing can be started as early as
after 4 hours. When the joints are
renovated, it is necessary to remove old joints to the depth of min. 3
mm.
PREPARING THE MORTAR:
The dry mortar must be poured into the measured amount of clean water
and carefully mixed
until a smooth mass without any lumps is obtained. It is absolutely
necessary to strictly observe
the proper ratio of the powdery mortar to water, so that differences in
colours did not appear
after drying. After about 5 minutes it should be mixed again for a short
time. The ready mortar
must be applied diagonally into the joints by means of a trowel with a
stiff sponge or rubber and
the joint must be richly filled with it. After the pre-bonding of the
mortar (after about 45 - 90
minutes depending on the temperature), manifesting in the tarnishing of
the joint surface, the
whole surface of the tiles must be washed with a damp sponge and joints
must be pro_ led. This
recommendation must be strictly adhered to because too fast start of the
washing process (particularly
in the conditions of increased humidity and/or lowered temperatures) may
cause the
occurrence of white scale on the joint surface. Freshly-jointed surface
must be protected against
low temperature, humidity, rain, intensive insolation and draught.
NOTE:
The obtained colour may slightly differ from the sample book because of:
too watery fixture of the
applied mortar, low ambient temperature, the tile and the substrate
environment not absorbent
enough or too intense drying. However, the series number guarantees the
same shade of colour.
