How to Use
Application
• Before grouting, wait until the adhesive has completely set.
• The joints must be clean, free of dust and raked back to at least 2/3 of the tile thickness.
• Wet the joints with clean water when using very porous ceramic tiles in high temperatures and in the presence of wind.
• Pour 20 kg of TILEMATE TG into 6.6-7 liters of clean water slowly and mix to obtain a homogeneous paste free from lumps. (A low speed mixer is recommended to mix). Amount of water should be precisely measured. Do not add any additive which is not mentioned in the instructions for the application. Excess water can cause cracking, low abrasion resistance and colour defects.
• Allow to stand for 5-10 minutes to mature. After 1-2 minutes remixing, the paste is ready for application.
• Fill the joints competely with GROUT using the appropriate rubber trowel, making sure the joints are completly compacted. Remove excess GROUT from the surface moving the float diagonally across joints.
• When the mixture loses its plasticity and becomes matt, usually after 10-20 minutes, clean the surface with a damp sponge working diagonally to the joints. If cleaning is carried out when the mixture is still plastic, the grout may be dragged from the joint leading to colour variations.
• Any residue left can be cleaned from the surface with a clean dry cloth.
• If the surface of walls and floors are still contaminated with TILEMATE TG use TILEMATE surface cleaner cement remover to clean atleast 10 days after grouting the joints.
• Dispose mortars of which pot life is expired.
• Clean tools and containers with plenty of water before TILEMATE TG hardens.
• When applying TILEMATE TG in exteremely hot, dryer windly climates, it is recommended to wet the joints after several hours to improve the final performance.
