What are the precautions to be taken while applying LATAPOXY® 2000 grout?

The following precautions are very important and critical while application of LATAPOXY® 2000, epoxy grout:

  • 1. Don’t do part mixing. The grout components are pre-packed and need to be used completely. For small areas mix liquid components (Part A and Part B) first and then add filler powder to the already mixed liquid. There are two sets of Part A, 2 sets of Part B and 2 sets of Part C in the pack of LATAPOXY®2000.
  • Do not mix the grout in dirty pails, buckets. Always use clean pail to get the best results.
  • Use gloves while mixing and applying the epoxy grout. A pair of gloves is provided in the grout pack.
  • Don’t use putty blades for application of grout: Putty blades are metallic blades which will leave scratches on the tile
    surface. ALWAYS USE RUBBER FLOATS so that the tile doesn’t get scratched.
  • Don’t allow any other works like plumbing, electrical fittings, plastering, tiling or painting to be done in the grouting area
    while applying the epoxy grout. If there is dust in the air, it settles down on the grouted joint which will be difficult to
    remove. Don’t allow any traffic other than people who are working with epoxy grout.
  • Start initial cleaning with the scrubber provided in the kit in about 45 minutes time from the time of filling up of joints. If
    not done, it is difficult to remove the grout haze and excess grout after couple of hours. Final cleaning must be carried out
    after 24 hours from the time of first cleaning.
  • Do not smoke while working with the epoxy grout. Do not allow any fire producing elements to the site while working
    with epoxy grout.
  • Always use potable quality clean water for first and final cleaning of the grout joints.
