SURFACE PREPARATION

Before starting to grout remove spacers and debris in grout joints and remove dust and dirt using a damp sponge. Allow to dry. Do not leave water standing in joints. Do not clean tiles with acid cleaners. Substrate temperature must be between 7°( and 32°(.

NOTE: Temperature will affect working properties of LATICRETFID SPWRALOCP 2000 /G. Warm temperatures will speed curing and shorten working time. Cool temperatures will slow curing and require longer time to traffic. Store SPWRALOCK 2000 /G (including Part CJ at 21 °C for 24 hours prior to use. NOT FOR USE WITH COLOR #44 BRIGHT WHITE.

MIXING

Pour SPECTRALOCK® 2000 IG Part A and Part B into a clean mixing pail and mix thoroughly with a drill mixer until liquids ore completely blended. Add all of the Part C powder. The mix will look thick at the beginning. Whip it thoroughly with high speed mixer (> 4 50 rpm) until uniformly blended (at least 2 minutes until a creamy, loose consistency is achieved). The mixing should aerate the grout to a very fluffy mix.

APPLICATION

LATICRETE -2000-IG-Spectralock-Epoxy Grout-4

For maximum pot life, remove grout from bucket and spread on floor or plastic sheeting. Spread the grout with sharp, firm rubber grout float. Work the grout paste into the joints. Insure the joint is filled and grout is not sitting on top. Remove excess grout from the face of the tiles with the edge of the grout float. Hold the float at 90° angle and pull it diagonally across the joints and tile to avoid pulling out the material.

INITIAL CLEANING – USE INITIAL CLEANING ADDITIVE

LATICRETE -2000-IG-Spectralock-Epoxy Grout-5

Once grout has been spread, wait approximately 30 minutes at 21 °( prior to beginning initial wash. Add Initial Wash cleaning additive to 7 .6 It of clean water and mix until fully dissolved. Do not mix cleaning additive with grout. Wipe grout joints and tile surface with a white nylon pad and plenty of water (with the cleaning additive) using a circular motion. Drag a damp clean sponge diagonally over the scrubbed surface to remove grout residue.

FINAL CLEANING – USE FINAL CLEANING ADDITIVE

LATICRETE -2000-IG-Spectralock-Epoxy Grout-6

Wait at least 90 minutes at 21 °( for the final wash using the same procedure as in the initial wash. Prepare another 7 .6 It of clean water and add the Final Wash cleaning additive and mix until fully dissolved. In the final wash avoid contact with the grout – clean tile surface only.

FINAL INSPECTION
