breathe easy 4 Zherorisk® is a research initiative carried out by Litokol’s R&D division, with the participation of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and external research institutes, on raw materials and ways of combining them, aimed at developing an innovative generation of environmentally-friendly building products with “zero risks”.
The aim of Zherorisk® products is to guarantee the safety of people through three aspects: safeguarding the health of professional operators, the air quality in homes and all environments, and the transportation of goods. The Zherorisk® research initiative results in the creation of new families of innovative products with identical environmentallyfriendly features.

olog y The new generation grout with Zhe roris k®t echn EpoxyÉlite EVO is a twopart anti-acid epoxy mortar for the installation and grouting of ceramic tiles and mosaics with 1 to 15 mm joints, on indoor and outdoor floors and walls. It has an ultra-low emission of volatile organic substances (VOC). Part A consists of a mixture of epoxy resin, fine-grain siliceous aggregates and specific organic additives.
e esiv adh and out e gr n-on All-i EpoxyÉlite EVO is a class R2T, high performance, no vertical slip reactive adhesive for the laying of ceramic tiles indoors and outdoors on floors and walls. Excellent results in the adhesion strength test, much higher than the standard limit of >2 N/mm². As an adhesive, it is recommended when installing thin mosaics.
Smooth and compact joints Among the many features introduced, Zherorisk® technology has allowed the use of fine-grain quartz micro-granules, as aggregates, compared to the coarse grain variety commonly used in similar standard products, available on the market. In terms of visual appeal, the joints not only look smoother and more compact, they are also able to absorb rays of light without any refraction.

fluid appli c ation The fineness of the quartz grains allows a much more fluid application of the mix, making it easier to fill the joints in less time and with less work by the installer.

Industri al use Excellent compressive strength, much higher than the standard limit of >45 N/mm² and flexural strength much higher than the standard limit of >30 N/mm² 22 Grouting with EpoxyÉlite EVO can tackle even the most extreme industrial applications where the floors are subject to strong mechanical stress such as the transit of lift and pallet trucks.
The colour s An impeccable joint is guaranteed because it is strong, water repellent and easy to clean, as well as having a highly aesthetic appeal, ideal for any industrial, residential and commercial installation.

t) lam e Re tard an on ( F ersi 5 kg plastic bucket mer ch and ising FR v EpoxyÉlite EVO is also produced in an FR (Flame Retardant) version for use in the maritime sector. The certificate of compliance for marine equipment has been granted for a kit consisting of EpoxyÉlite EVO FR grout, as well as Litoelastic EVO FR adhesive, according to Directive 2014/90/EU (2010 FTP Code).
Application phases: 38 1 Empty completely all the contents of the catalyst (B) onto the paste (A). 2 Mix using an electric drill equipped with mixing paddle. Scrape the walls of the bucket to eliminate all parts of non-catalysed product. 3 The joints must be dry. Apply the paste in the joints using a green rubber float (item 946GR), with diagonal movements in the direction of the joints. Remove the excess product. 4 The grout must be cleaned while the product is still wet. Sprinkle clean water.
