Grouts

DESCRIPTION

Two-component acid-resistant epoxy grout. Component A consists

of a mixture of epoxy resin, sintered micro sphere with fine

granulometry and specific organic additives. Component B consists

of an innovative organic catalyst with lower exposure risks for

users. Once mixed together, the two components form a creamy

mixture with excellent smoothness, which is also suitable for walls

application without vertical slip with no dripping. Once hardened,

the product is high-performing in term of mechanical and chemical

resistance.

ADVANTAGES

 Extremely easy application and cleaning, even compared to

normal cementitious grouts. Prevents the release of colour

pigments onto ceramic surfaces.

 Bacteriostatic product which prevents the proliferation of fungi

and moulds.

 The extreme fineness of the sintered micro sphere with fine

granulometry makes it possible to obtain highly smooth and

compact finishes.

 Stable and uniform colouring for all types of tiles with

exclusive colour effects.

 High mechanical strength.

 Waterproof.

 Total absence of cracking or crazing after hardening.

 Excellent chemical resistance.

 Unlike other epoxy grouts on the market, Starlike

EVO

catalyst (component B) is only labelled as irritant. It is neither

corrosive nor hazardous for the environment.

 Starlike

EVO is not classified as hazardous goods and is,

therefore, exempt from transportation restrictions (ADR-ADN-

IMDG-IATA classes).

 Product with ultra-low emission of volatile organic compounds

(VOCs), compliant with class A+ (Émission dans l’air intérieur

– French regulations) and the EC1

PLUS

class according to the

EMICODE protocol.

 Contains ≥ 10% of recycled material.

EVO - RG Class Reactive Grout

EN 12004 CLASSIFICATION

Starlike

EVO is an R2T Class high-performance reactive vertical

no-slip adhesive for interior and exterior floor and wall ceramic

tiling. Its compliance with harmonized standard EN 12004 is

indicated on the CPR-IT326 Declaration of Performance, according

to the European Regulation for construction products (CPR -

Construction Products Regulation No.: 305/2011/EU) and tested by

a European notified centre as per certification system 3.

PACKAGING

1 kg plastic bucket = Standard pallet 200 kg

2.5 kg plastic bucket = Standard pallet 437.5 kg

5 kg plastic bucket = Standard pallet 500 kg

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

 Suitable for the acid-resistant installation and grouting of

ceramic and porcelain tiles and mosaics with 1 to 15 mm wide

joints, on indoor and outdoor floors and walls.

 The wide range of colours and finishes allows for highly

attractive matching with mosaics, ceramics, natural stone and the

latest trend in glass slabs for residential and public/commercial

settings.

 Suitable for applications where the surfaces are exposed

to aggressive chemical substances (see Chemical Resistance

Table) such as dairies, abattoirs, pubs, food factories in general.

Suitable for applications subject to heavy-duty operating

conditions, such as swimming pools, hammams, jacuzzis, heavy-

traffic floors, and tiles exposed to extreme temperature

fluctuations. Typical applications include:

• Grouting of ceramic tiles and mosaics on wooden kitchen tops;

• Bonding and grouting of ceramic tiles and mosaics in swimming

pools, including surfaces waterproofed with Elastocem, Coverflex

or Aquamaster.

 Grouting of tiles on balconies and terraces.

 Bonding and grouting on floors and walls of tiles and

mosaic in public and private bathrooms and shower cubicles.
