MEP®. JOINT COLOR is a water-repellent, mould-resistant, non-shrink tile grout.
MEP®. JOINT COLOR is designed to point tile joints up to a width of 8mm on walls and floors for interior and exterior use
MEP®. JOINT COLOR can be used for grouting ceramic, porcelain, mosaic, natural stone…
▪ Tiles must be firmly in place
▪ The joints must be free of excess adhesive and loose material
▪ Joints should be moistened (not wet) prior to the application of the grout
▪ Quality of the grout will depend on the uniformity and the cleanness of the joint
Notes:
Adhesive should normally be left for at least 24 hours before grouting, unless using a rapid set tile adhesive
For swimming pools leave for at least 3 days before grouting
Mixing ratio: 6 lts of water per 20 kg bag
▪ Gradually add the powder into the required water quantity while mixing to avoid lumps forming
▪ It is highly recommended to use a low speed mechanical mixer
▪ Mix thoroughly to a creamy consistency
▪ Allow mix to gel for 5 min and then remix before use
▪ Using a rubber float, apply the grout diagonally to the tile to a small area at a time
▪ Completely fill the joints leaving no voids
▪ Excess grout should be removed immediately using a rubber float held at 90° to the tiles
▪ When the grout has become firm in the joints (will depend on temperatures) the tiles should be cleaned with a clean damp sponge until all residues is removed
▪ When dry, polish the tiles with a clean, dry cloth
Flexible joints should be incorporated to allow for slight movements due to changes in temperature, humidity etc. as indicated by DTU 52.2
▪ Where the tiling meets other materials (e.g. floor perimeters)
▪ Along all internal corners – vertically and horizontally
▪ Over existing movement joints or changes in background material
▪ Dividing large tiled areas into bays
Do not use for:
▪ External Walls: use MEP®. JOINT FLEX
▪ Deflection or limited shrinkage surface: use MEP®. JOINT FLEX
▪ Areas subject to chemical agents: use MEP®. JOINT EPOXY
▪ Areas subjected to high-pressure cleaning: use MEP®. JOINT EPOXY
Never add water if the mixture has started to set
Should the mortar stiffen up then discard the product and mix a fresh batch
An excess in mixing ratio (water) and a poor preparation of the joints leads to a shading of the grout
