• Specially formulated for wet or submerged grouting applications such as swimming pool, bathrooms, toilets, fountains and kitchen areas.
• It can be used for external and internal areas.
• It is used in residential and commercial areas.
• Application up to joint width of 2-4 mm.
• It is excellent for highly glazed tiles to give a smooth and watertight joints which when set will be both water and mould resistant.
Method of Application
1. Surface of Application
• Surface must be cleaned and should be free from dirt, cured tile adhesive. Remove dust with a wire brush & by air blower.
• For exterior grouting application, wet the tiles prior to applying CREED TILE GROUT.
2 Mixing
• Add the grout powder to the mixing CREED GROUT HARDENER (w:p ratio - 1:2.5 by volume) and mix with
slow speed drill (250-300 rpm) to a soft & smooth consistency paste.
• If the grout mortar has become too stiff to work, it should be discarded and a new batch should be prepared.
3 Application
Apply to the joints with a squeegee, spatula or putty blade. After application, flush the surface of tile using a hard rubber float, working diagonally across the grout joints to fill and compact the joints. All excess grout should be removed with the same rubber float without any delay.
• However, it is important to allow the grout to set in the joint and to let it acquire its initial set before any further cleaning. After the initial set of the grout, clean the tile surface with a pad of cheesecloth or towel dampened with a minimum quantity of clean and cool water. Rub a circular motion to further compact the grout.
• The remaining surface grout on the tile can also be cleaned at this time. Scrubbing pad fastened to a float works very well to remove grout from the porous tiles.
• Rebuff the tile surface and grout within 1-2 hours to remove all weep water and grout residue from the surface, which helps to reduce the efflorescence and to control colour variation.
4 Cleaning
• Polish the tiles when the job is complete with a clean dry cloth.
Scrubbing the floor with hot water and soap water is the best.
• Due to polymer content, it is advisable to clean the surface immediately after the grouting.
