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.
Aplicação
- 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
Até 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.
