Substrate preparation
- Tile edges must be free of dirt.
- Before the tile adhesive sets, remove excess adhesive from the joints down to the depth of the tile and clean the area thoroughly.
- Start grouting only after the tile adhesive has set and dried.
- First check that CE 40 does not leave permanent stains on the tile surface.
Applicazione
- Add CE 40 to a precisely measured amount of clean, cool water and mix until a smooth, lump-free paste forms. Do not use rusty or dirty containers or tools.
- Wait 3 minutes and mix again – the maturing time is essential.
- Apply the grout to the tiled surface with a rubber grout float or an epoxy float, leaving no voids between the tiles.
- When the grout turns matt, check it by touch; the waiting time before washing is 8–35 minutes depending on tile absorption, joint size and temperatures.
- Remove excess grout with a slightly damp sponge, rinsing it often. Do not use a dry cloth.
- Foot traffic after 6–8 hours; first contact with water after 24 hours. For the first 5 days clean only with clean water, without detergents.
Tools
Clean bucket, mixer or trowel, rubber grout float or epoxy float, slightly damp sponge.
Shelf life
Fino a 24 months from the production date when stored on pallets in a dry place, in the original undamaged packaging.
Important notes
- Apply in dry conditions, with air and substrate temperature between +5 °C and +25 °C.
- Over-washing the joints can expose the aggregate and make the joint rough and discoloured. Use CE 40 from the same production batch in one area to avoid shade differences; judge the final colour only after full drying.
- Do not use strongly coloured cleaning products. Protect fresh grout from rain, dew and temperatures below +5 °C until fully hardened.
- The powder contains cement and reacts alkaline with water: wear skin and eye protection. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice.
