Starlike Crystal EVO TWO-COMPONENT ACID-RESISTANT 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 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.

Typical applications include: The special translucent color of Starlike® Crystal EVO allows the product applied in the joints to absorb the color of the transparent mosaics and therefore change according to their color. Best results are obtained when the mosaic is applied to transparent substrates such as glass and plexiglass, which may eventually be backlit by a light source. In this case, the mosaic tiles must be bonded using an appropriate clear adhesive cartridge. In the case of traditional substrates such as cement or gypsum-based plaster, paneling etc., the mosaic tiles must be bonded...

For exterior installations, large tiles, floors with intense or heavy traffic, vibrating supports and situations exposed to high temperature fluctuations, the adhesive mortar must be applied to both the substrate and the back of the tiles so 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...
