PRODUCT WITH LOW FLAME-SPREAD COMPLIANT WITH DIRECTIVE 2014/90/EU (MED) ACCORDING TO STANDARD IMO 2010 FTP Code FOR USE ON SHIPS. FOR INTERIORS AND EXTERIORS. Two-component acid-resistant epoxy grout. Part A consists in a mix of epoxy resin, selected inert fillers with fine granulometry, pigments and specific organic additives. Component B consists in an innovative organic catalyst with minimal exposure risks for users. Once combined, the two components form a creamy and fluid mix, which is also suitable for vertical application with non-sag. Once set, the product reaches very high performance levels in terms of mechanical strength and chemical resistance. The product has been expressly formulated to meet the requirements of Part 5 of the IMO FTP Code 2010 as “finishing material for bulkheads and ceilings” for the naval sector. ADVANTAGES / FEATURES Unlike other epoxy grouts on the market, the catalyst (Part B) is labeled only as an irritant It is neither corrosive nor hazardous for the environment User-friendly and very safe product to work with Suitable for interior and exterior floor and wall applications, even in severe operating conditions Stain-Resistant Stable and consistent colors No restrictions for transport over road, sea, air and rail The fine granulometry of the aggregates gives the grout a particularly smooth and compact surface with a high aesthetic impact and minimum dirt pick-up Will not support the growth of fungi and molds Product with high mechanical strength, practically zero water absorption and high chemical resistance Reactive grout formulated with specific raw materials with low flame-spread properties, making the product exceptionally easy to apply IMO approved for use on ships as a product with low flame-spread Product exhibiths Very low volatile organic compound (VOC). Complies with the most stringent Global Air Quality Regulations. EpoxyElite EVO FR does not contain cement, eliminating efflorescence typical of cement based grouts Intended uses Interiors and exteriors Floors and walls Underfloor heating Facades Overlaying Terraces and balconies Residential, public, commercial building Indoor wet areas (bathrooms, shower enclosures) Tanks, swimming pools, fountains SPAS and Saunas Industrial flooring Dairy factories, meat processing, food industry Naval Materials Ceramic and porcelain tiles Single fired Double fired Terracotta - Clinker Marble – Granite – Stone Natural stones Porcelain stoneware Ceramic and vitreous mosaics Thin laminated stoneware slabs Large-Format tiles and panels Slabs 126x63 in (320x160 cm) Recomposed stone made with resin

PRELIMINARY CHECKS AND JOINT PREPARATION Check that the adhesive or mortar used for tile bonding is completely set and dry. Remove any plastic spacers. The joints must be clean, free from dust and empty for the entire depth of the tiles. Any traces of adhesive or mortar spilled back into the joints must be removed. Make sure that the ceramic and porcelain tiles can easily be cleaned and their surface is not absorbent. Certain types of tiles (e.g., polished porcelain stoneware) or natural stones have micro-porosities and surface roughness that can cause surface staining and make cleaning...

Replace the felt pad when it is completely impregnated with the product. If necessary, the Litonet EVO detergent can be used to remove any halos after 24 hours, or in any case after the grout sets (depending on the temperature). Spread the product at temperatures between 50°F and 90°F Change the cleaning water frequently Change the white scrub and sponge when they are impregnated with product Promptly remove any excess product from the surface of the tiles insofar as the product, once set, can only be mechanically removed, posing serious risks to the end result Avoid any dust or polluting...
