Cementitious grout for ceramic tiles
Uses
Instructions for use
As a grout for dry tile joints, in kitchens, bathrooms,
shower stalls, swimming pools and similar applications.
Surface preparation
All tiles must be securely fixed in place and thoroughly
cleaned before Nitotile Grout is applied. The gap between
tiles should not exceed 6 mm.
Advantages
Tropical grade to suit Middle East working conditions.
Mixing
Mould resistant.
3.6 litres of water are required for each 10 kg bag of
Nitotile Grout. A slow speed drill fitted with a suitable
mixing paddle is recommended. Add powder to water and
mix until a uniform, lump-free, thick creamy paste is
produced, allow to stand for ten minutes prior to use.
Thixotropic, non-slump application.
One part and only requires water addition.
Water-resistant.
Applications
Can be used in submerged conditions.
Apply Nitotile Grout to the spaces between the tiles using
a sponge or a small piece of soft cloth. Work the mixture
into the joints and around the edges.
Available in a range of attractive colours.
Description
Remove surplus material from the face of the tiles with a
dry cloth and run the tip of a gloved finger or suitable
rounded tool along the grout to level it off and form a
profile.
Nitotile Grout is a blend of specially selected cement,
fillers and synthetic organic polymers. When added to
water it readily blends to produce a smooth creamy paste
which when set is water and mould resistant. Nitotile
Grout is used in conjunction with Nitotile* tile adhesives.
When the grout is dry, clean the tiles with a damp sponge
to remove any excess material. It is advisable to remove
uncured grout from textured tiles prior to setting, failure to
do so may result in difficulty in removal.
