SURFACE PREPARATION
1- Before starting to grout, remove any debris from the grout joints. Dust can be eliminated using compressed air jetting. Ensure that the joints are free from water, oil, dirt, and other contaminants.
2- Clean the tile surface by wiping it with a sponge to remove dirt and dust. Do not use acids to clean the tiles.
3- Cleanliness and surface roughness are essential for good adhesion of the grout.
4- Proper surface preparation is crucial; without it, successful grout performance cannot be guaranteed.
MIXING
1- Mortar is prepared by mixing Drychem Unsanded Grout with 30-35% by weight of water using mechanical stirring for 2-3 minutes until a lump-free consistency is achieved.
2- To avoid colour variation, dry blend the powder first if using two or more bags.
3- The grout paste remains workable for 30 minutes at 27°C.
APPLICATIONS
1- Firmly press the grout into the joints using a spatula, putty blade, or any suitable applicator, ensuring the joints are completely filled.
2- Apply standard grouting techniques to work the grout into the tile joints.
3- Ensure the entire joint is fully packed with grout. Remove excess material from the joints and surface by moving a squeegee diagonally across the grout lines
