Use of the additive improves the final properties of the grouting. In particular, adhesion to tile sides and abrasion resistance is improved, while water absorption and porosity is reduced. Suitable therefore for applications on tiled surfaces subject to high physical and mechanical stress, such as: terraces, balconies, swimming pools, industrial floors, gypsum board paneling, etc. The product can be used with any colored cementitious grout without any significant color alterations. PRELIMINARY CHECKS AND JOINT PREPARATION The substrates must be clean, solid, compact, crack-free, properly cured and without rising damp. Check that the adhesive or mortar used for tile bonding is completely set and dry. 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. When grouting very absorbent tiles and in the presence of very warm climates, the joints will need to be dampened with a sponge soaked with water. 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 very difficult. Spot tests should always be performed. Special Products StyleGrout 0-8 0.24US gal (0.9 l) of Idrostuk 5.9 - 6.3 qts.

Pour the right quantity of liquid, depending on the application, into a clean container and slowly add the powder, stirring with an electric drill with mixing paddle until a consistent mix is obtained without lumps. Let the mix rest for about 5 minutes and then briefly mix again for a few seconds. The pot life is about 40 minutes at a temperature of 73.4°F (+23°C), therefore it is advisable to mix only the quantity of material that can be applied within this period of time. Do not add more liquid to the mix once setting has begun. Hand mixing is not recommended. Apply the mix in the joints...
