Mixing

Add 6.5 to 7.5 Liters of fresh clean water to a suitably sized mixing vessel. Slowly add the powder component while mixing using a mixer fitted with a Saveto approved paddle for 3 to 5 minutes until a uniform, lump-free consistency is achieved. Allow the mixed material to mature for about 10 minutes and remix briefly.

Important Note: Do not mix partial quantities unless an exact proportion based on volume can be achieved using proper tools.

If performance enhancement is required, add 0.5 liters of Vetobond PB434 to the mixing water followed by the addition of powder.

Mixed material can be used within 4 hours. 

Application

Spread the mixed mortar over the joints of the tiles and firmly pressed with rubbing pad covered with sponge rubber spatula   Vetofill CG550 is spread diagonally across the joints ensuring that the grout is pressed firmly into the joints.

The excess filler that remains on tiles shall be removed with the same tool. After an initial setting of 20—30 minutes, depending upon the ambient temperature and humidity, clean the tiles and remove all excess material with a wet sponge.

After full drying, clean the tile surfaces with a dry cloth or dispensable cotton towels. When washing and drying the tiles, ensure tile joints are not rubbed too deep.

Vetofill CG550 must be kept moist for the first 2 days after application to ensure good hardened properties are achieved.

Cleaning

Tools and equipment can be cleaned with water immediately after use. Hardened materials will require removal by mechanical means.

All excess adhesive tiles that are at the level higher than half of the tile thickness shall be removed. All the joints should be free from dust, loose materials & traces of foreign materials, etc.

Neutralize the water absorption of the tiles by applying clean potable water. Do not leave water pooling in the joints.
