Products to grout and clean APPLICATION Preliminary checks and joint preparation Verificare che l’adesivo o la malta utilizzata per l’incollaggio delle piastrelle sia completamente indurita ed asciutta. Le fughe si devono presentare pulite, prive di polvere e vuote per almeno 2/3 dello spessore delle piastrelle. Eventuali tracce di adesivo o malta refluite tra le fughe devono essere asportate. Check that the adhesive or mortar used to fix the tiles has completely hardened and dried.

Products to grout and clean WARNINGS • If possible, apply the product at temperatures between +18°C and +23°C. Do not use at low temperatures or in environment with high humidity, in order to avoid the superficial carbonation that may modify the uniformity of the colour. • Remove excess product from the tile surface rapidly because once hardened it will have to be removed mechanically, seriously jeopardising the finished result. • Mix the two components ( A+B) correctly.
