Starlike EVO TWO-COMPONENT ACID-RESISTANT EPOXY GROUT FOR INSTALLATION AND GROUTING OF CERAMIC, PORCELAIN AND MOSAIC TILES WITH JOINTS FROM 1/16 TO 9/16 INCH (1 TO 15 mm) WIDE. PATENT PENDING. FOR INTERIORS AND EXTERIORS. SUITABLE FOR UNDERFLOOR HEATING. ZHERORISK TECHNOLOGY OFFERS VERY LOW VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND EMISSION RATE. Two-component acid-resistant epoxy grout. Part A consists in a mix of epoxy resin, sintered quartz micro spheres with fine granulometry 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. ADVANTAGES / FEATURES 2.2lb (1 kg) buckets (A + B) - 440.9lb (200 kg) standard pallet (200 buckets) 5.5 lb (2.5 kg) buckets (A + B) - 964.7lb (437.5 kg) standard pallet (175 buckets) 11lb (5 kg) buckets (A + B) - 1,102.3lb (500 kg) standard pallet (100 buckets) 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 Will not support the growth of fungi and molds High mechanical strength Non-absorbent Stain-Resistant Excellent chemical resistance Stable and consistent coloring on all types of tiles with exclusive chromatic effects Recycled material content ≥ 10% Colored by sintered quartz micro spheres, which are surface-colored, minimizing any ruìisk of staining Extremely easy application and cleaning, even compared to regular cementitious grouts The particular fineness of the sintered quartz micro spheres allows for extremely smooth and compact finishes The product does not contain cement, eliminating efflorescence typical of cementitious products Suitable for interior and exterior floor and wall applications, even in severe operating conditions IMO approved for use on ships as a product with low flame-spread No restrictions for transport over road, sea, air and rail Product exhibiths Very low volatile organic compound (VOC). Complies with the most stringent Global Air Quality R

as to obtain a solid bed of adhesive without any air bubbles. Joints In any type of ceramic and porcelain tiling, suitably sized joints must be created based on the following parameters: • Type, format and size tolerance of tiles • thermal expansion coefficients of tiling materials • mechanical properties of installation materials • position and trajectory of joints • mechanical features of substrate • Intended use and operating conditions Butt joints are not allowed. Any plastic spacers must be removed before grouting. PRELIMINARY CHECKS Use as sealant Check that the adhesive or mortar...

mixed only with Starlike® EVO 113 Neutro. Add the product as the third component after mixing in the catalyst (component B). Be sure to pour it in slowly as these additives are fine and light powders, and use a mixing paddle at low speed to avoid splashing the product. The grouting must be cleaned and finished while the product is still wet and in any case in the shortest possible time. Take care not to empty the joints or leave halos on the tile surface. Cleaning and finishing can be performed either manually or using a single disc machine with felt disc pad. Manual method First sprinkle...
