Starlike ColorCrystal EVO TWO-COMPONENT ACID-RESISTANT COLORED TRANSLUCENT EPOXY GROUT FOR GROUTING CLEAR AND ARTISTIC VITREOUS MOSAICS WITH JOINTS UP TO 1/8" (3 mm) WIDE PATENT PENDING. FOR INTERIORS AND EXTERIORS. SUITABLE FOR UNDERFLOOR HEATING. ZHERORISK TECHNOLOGY OFFERS VERY LOW RATE OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND EMISSION. Two-component acid-resistant colored translucent epoxy grout. Part A consists in a mix of epoxy resin, fine glass sphere aggregates and organic rheological components. Component B consists in an innovative organic catalyst with lower 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 5.5 lb (2.5 kg) buckets (A + B) - 964.7lb (437.5 kg) standard pallet (175 buckets) SUITABLE APPLICATIONS Suitable application Interiors and exteriors Floors and walls Underfloor heating Residential, public, commercial building Indoor wet areas (bathrooms, shower enclosures) Tanks, swimming pools, fountains Spas and saunas Typical applications include: With Starlike® ColorCrystal EVO it is possible to obtain “tone-on-tone” grouting even in the case of non-transparent mosaic tiles, thus further enhancing the value of the mosaic itself. In the case of clear vitreous mosaics, it is possible to develop backlit interior walls made of clear substrates in glass or plexiglass. In this case, bonding will be done with a suitable transparent adhesive in tubes. In the case of traditional substrates such as cement or gypsum-based plaster, paneling etc., the mosaic tiles must be 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 Extremely easy application and cleaning, even compared to regular cementitious grouts Will not support the spread of fungi and molds Non-absorbent High mechanical strength Excellent chemical resistance Recycled material content ≥ 50% Easy to clean Translucent color that allows the filtration of light IMO approved for use on ships as a product with low flame-spread Product exempt from transport restrictions via road, sea, air and rail Product exhibits very low volatile organic compound emissions (VOC). Complies with the most stringent Global Air Quality Regulations. • The glass micro spheres allows for extremely smooth and compact finishes • Complies with the most stringent Global Air Quality Materials Transparent or artistic vitreous mosaics Colored vitreous m

bonded with white adhesives such as Litoplus K55 (cementitious adhesive in class C2TE) or Litoelastic EVO (twocomponent reactive adhesive in class R2T) depending on the type of substrate. With Starlike® ColorCrystal EVO it is possible to obtain vitreous mosaic surfaces with highly prestigious effects and a strong visual impact, for example: • Creation of backlit interior walls • Backlit wall coverings for bar counters or public venues • Floor and wall coverings in bathrooms, kitchens, shower enclosures, etc. • Grouting of vitreous mosaics installed on structures and forms developed with...

• mechanical features of substrate • Intended use and operating conditions Butt joints are not allowed. Any plastic spacers must be removed before grouting. PRELIMINARY CHECKS AND JOINT PREPARATION The substrates must be clean, solid, compact, crack-free, properly cured and dry. 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. Make sure that the ceramic and porcelain tiles can easily be cleaned...

During this phase, make sure no water enters the empty joints, stopping a 1/2-inch to a few centimeters away from the unfilled joints. Any holes or imperfections discovered in the grouiting should be promptly repaired only when the surface is dry and the product has set. Replace the felt pad and sponge when they become impregnated with resin and can no longer be cleaned. To facilitate the cleaning operation, we recommend using two buckets full of water, one for rinsing the felt pad and sponge, as well as to collect any dirty water, and the other filled with clean water for the final surface...
