Bond It GREY Floor Tile Grout 3kg Cement Based Formula Ceramic Tiles

Description:
A grey, cement‐based, polymer modified joint filling compound for tile joints from 3mm wide up to 10mm wide
around all types of ceramic floor tiles. Can be used in interior and exterior applications. Conforms to EN 13888
Type CG Class 1

Uses
FLOOR TILE GROUT is formulated to provide a flowable, readily
compactable grouting slurry, which can be easily applied across all
types of ceramic tiled surfaces. FLOOR TILE GROUT will dry to a
hard, durable, water resistant finish, suitable for interior and
exterior applications, including swimming pools.

Preparation
Check that all the tiles are securely fixed and that the tile adhesive
has thoroughly dried before applying any load or pressure to the
tiled surface. Allow a minimum of 12-24 hours when using
standard setting adhesives and ready mixed adhesives, or 2-3
hours when using fast setting adhesives. Ensure all joints are a
maximum of 3mm wide and they are raked clear of any excess
adhesive residues to allow an even and consistent depth of grout
to be applied in all areas. It is recommended that that current best
practice e.g. the current TTA or COP guidelines are always
followed.

Mixing
FLOOR TILE GROUT powder should be added to water,
approximately 1Kg of powder to 300ml of water in a clean
container and mixed to a smooth, creamy, lump-free consistency,
preferably with a mechanical mixer. Allow to stand for 3-5
minutes, re-mix briefy, and use within 1 hour depending on site
temperature and conditions..
Part-used grout should never be “freshened up” by adding more
water, discard any grout once it appears to lose workability.

Application
Using a grouting tool, sponge or squeegee, work the mixed grout
thoroughly into the joints ensuring the joints are completely filled.
Remove excess grout from face of tiles with a damp sponge or
cloth. Use a suitable tool to compact grout into joints. After initial
hardening of the grout, clean the tile surface using a clean
dampened sponge working diagonally across the grout lines. Allow
the grout to harden sufficiently to prevent removal from the joints
when cleaning (normally between 1 and 2 hours). Once the grout
is set, polish the surface with a soft clean cloth. Clean tools after
use with warm water.

Drying Time
Final set will occur between 24-48 hours. Cement based products
will take longer to harden and set at lower temperatures and
should not be used below 5o
C. Light foot traffic: after 12-24 hours.
Full traffic: after 24-48 hours (dependant on site conditions). In
exterior conditions, it is essential to provide protection from all
extremes of climate for as long as possible during and after
grouting has been completed (a minimum of 72 hours is
recommended).

Open Time
Open time of the exposed adhesive bed is approx. 20 minutes,
dependent on conditions. Pot life approximately 60 minutes @
20oC.

Limitations
Use mixed material within 1 hour. Do not re-mix grout that is
starting to set by adding extra water. All tile surfaces should be
checked before starting to ensure Colour staining of porous
surfaces or scratching of glazed surfaces will occur during grouting.
Slight Colour variation may occur between batches and will occur
under different mixing and/or site conditions. Swimming pools
should not be filled for 3 weeks after grouting. Not to be used in
applications prone to movement.

Cleaning
Tools should be washed with water immediately after use with
warm water.
