Water resistant – Excellent water-resistance making it beneficial for application in areas immersed under water. Durability & UV resistant - Excellent UV resistance & durability enables the product use for exterior application. High Strength & abrasion resistant – High strength & abrasion resistance properties makes it suitable for
1 SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be cleaned and should be free from dirt, cured tile adhesive. Remove dust with
wire brush & by air
blower For exterior grouting application, wet the tiles prior to applying CIS TILE GROUT 316
2 MIXING
Add the grout powder to the mixing water (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 tile joints with 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.
Lesser the quantity of grout left on the face of the tiles while application, the final
cleaning will be easier.
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
minimum quantity of clean and cool water. Rub in 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.
Precautions & limitations
Do not mix excess water.
CIS TILE GROUT 316 cannot be used where high acid resistance is required because of its
cement base.
The potential for efflorescence is inherent in all cement-based products and it is not to be
considered as a
manufacturing defect.
