Application:
ULTRAPOXY – UPX-100 is a Three components, epoxide resin-based grout ideally suited for residential physical abuse, shock and chemical attack.
ULTRAPOXY – UPX-100 Three part system, epoxide resin-based grout with high degree of resistance to chemical attack, abrasion and impact. The properties are as follows
Walls, Floors, Interior, Exterior, Dry areas, Wet areas, Work tops, Showers (Do not use showers for at least 2 weeks after the completion of grouting), Swimming pools (Do not fill pools at least 3 weeks after the completion of grouting), Heavily trafficked floors, Hygienic sterile areas, Chemical resistance and Hydrotherapy pools (Do not fill pools at least 3 weeks after the completion of grouting). Joints shall be cleaned and made free from all dirt, dust, efflorescence, laitance and other contaminants. All tiles / stones shall be checked for soundness and good bond with the adhesive bed and substrate, if foundbad, tiles / stones shall be removed including bed adhesive and new reinstalled and allowed to cure and dry completely.
Epoxy Grout Installation All joints shall be filled by using epoxy grouts as follows:- Stir hardener and resin before adding them in to suitable sized, clean container and thoroughly mix using heavy duty slow speed (less than 300 pm) drilling machine with spiral paddle. Slowly add the required quantity of filler depending on the joint width, required consistency, temperature, different usage condition, etc. Mix thoroughly until all the powder is dispersed and uniform coloured, homogeneous mix is obtained. • Using a hard rubber / grout float compact the grout into the joint, ensuring that they are completely filled, strike off excess grout diagonally from the surface of tiles / stones and joints. Plug open-ended joints with the stiffer mix to prevent any slumping of the grout joints occurring. • Within 30 min of application, clean off surplus grout, using emulsifying pad and gripper dampened with clean water to break down the grout residue. Use in circular motion and keep the pad and gripper flat relative to the tile surface to achieve a flush joint. Do not allow water to flow / run in to the joints. • Clean off the emulsified epoxy / water residue with a sponge in diagonally to the grout lines, taking care not to drag grout fromthe joints.• Any light haze remaining on the tile surface can be cleaned off using the emulsifying pad / gripper and an alkaline detergent. Don not allow to haze remain one surface longer than 24 hrs. • The complete setting time is 48 hrs at 270C ± 10C. • Do not apply in damp condition.
