Installation
Important site Checks: Notes to the specifiers:
✔ It is recommended to check the colour of the grout, if it is meeting the desired colour of the client
✔ It is recommended to do a small area with actual tile/stone at site and check for any colour ingress into the tile/stone. Many tiles / stones have high absorption which may lead to discoloration / colour marks.
✔ Plan to provide proper movement joints, peripheral joints as per EJ 171 to accommodate movements in tile/stone and use flexible grout / sealant to fill these movement joints.
✔ United P 100 is a solid epoxy grout and does not accommodate movements in tile/stone that can occur due to various reasons. Movements which occur in the tile/stone area due to non provision of movement joints will lead to cracks / breakage of grout joints / tile/ stone.
✔ Keep the working area covered and protected from Sun light while application of United P-100, stain free epoxy grout, is applied in open areas like swimming pools etc. Keep the cover for 7 days and till the filling of pools with water after the completion of grouting with United P-100, stain free epoxy grout.
Surface Preparation:
Before starting to grout, remove debris in grout joints and lightly sponge the tile surface to remove dust and dirt. Do not clean tiles with acid cleaners. In case acid cleaners were used to clean the tiles, ensure to wash the area with plenty of water before commencing grouting. Substrate temperature must between 60°F (16°C) and 90°F (32°C).
Mixing
Empty entire contents of United P-100 Stain free Grout Part “A” and Part “B” container into a clean mixing pail. Mix with a margin trowel or a slow speed drill mixer until liquids are completely blended. Add at least ¾ of United P-100 Part “C” Filler Powder and mix to a uniform consistency. Add the remaining filler powder and mix to achieve a stiff mix to work into the joints.
