Comparing Cement Grout and Epoxy Grout is like comparing a push-bike to a motor cycle. Furthermore, unlike other epoxy grouts on the market, the Starlike EVO catalyst component is labelled only as an irritant. It is neither corrosive nor hazardous for the environment. This is also important for the user – it makes it a bit more expensive but is so well worth it.

Read about the differences here:    WHAT MAKES THIS GROUT DIFFERENT?

If you haven’t used Litokol Epoxy Grout before, please give me a call when you are about to use it, so that I can talk to you about the application process.  It is not difficult, but is VERY different to Cementitious grout.

Shipping:

• Shipping is equivalent to a LARGE box
• Shipping on this product cannot be combined with other items – this may increase the shipping cost. I will NOT ship glass in a box with grout
• Ships to Australia and New Zealand only

What’s in the box:

The grout ships with:

• Component A: Grout paste
• Component B: Hardener (catalyst)

Features:

Two-component acid-resistant epoxy grout for the laying and grouting of ceramic tiles and glass mosaic with joints between 1 and 15 mm width.  Extremely easy to apply and clean. Suitable for direct contact with food substances. Product with ultra-low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.

This product can be used as a grout, and an adhesive.

• Measure out only as much as you need. Additional grout can be mixed and added to your work BEFORE cleaning.  Store any unused grout separately (Part A and B must not come in contact with each other) in an airtight manner.
• 1 hour Working time 1 hour at 23°C
• Application temperature: from 12°C to 30°C (optimal 18°C to 23°C)
• Shelf life: 24 months in original packaging, avoid freezing temperatures
• suitable for grout lines up to 15mm wide
• Ultra-low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions
• Contains more than 10% recycled materials

• Suitable for interior or exterior use. Submersible.
• Has been used in ponds in Europe for many years
• UV resistant
• Stain proof
• Food Safe
• Mixing ratios:
  • Component A: 93.7 parts by weight
  • Component B: 6.3 parts by weight
  • A kitchen scale is great to measure out the grout
  • If you calculate that you need 100 grams of grout, weigh out 93.7 grams Part A, and 6.3 grams Part B
  • If you need, for example, 145 grams of grout, you will need:
    • (145/100) x 93.7 Part A, (i.e 1.45 x 93.7 = 135.8 grams) and
    • (145/100) x 6.3 Part B, (i.e 1.45 x 6.3 = 9.2 grams)

Usage:

How much grout do I need? 

Litokol do have a usage calculator on their website, but it pays to remember that this is for flat runs of straight laid tile, with uniform grout gaps.  In mosaics, it’s going to vary according to the width of your tesserae and interstices and eventually will be guess work.  Just like mixing up sanded grout…we’re always guessing.

The easy answer is to use the same amount as you would with sanded grout. I have found that it seems to take slightly less than you would use of cementitious grout.  Experience indicates that 1 gram will cover approximately 645 sq. mm (1 square inch) and you’ll probably be safe and have some leftover.  Of course, It’s going to vary

1. Measure your piece in millimetres (10mm = 1 cm)
2. Multiply the width  by the height (in mms)
3. Divide the result by 645 = number of grams of MIXED grout you require.
4. For example: a 30cm (12″) square piece will require (300×300)/645 = 140 grams of mixed product
