Vetofill CG550 is a polymer-modified cement-based professional-grade and water-resistant tile grout used with most types of tiles, including ceramic, porcelain, glass mosaic, marble, granite,...etc. The product is composed of a blend of cement, special additives, selected fillers, and polymers. Once mixed with water, the product becomes an easily workable creamy mortar.
Remove all tile adhesive excess that is at a level higher than half of the tile thickness.
All the joints should be free from dust, loose materials & traces of foreign materials, etc. Neutralize the tiles' water absorption by applying clean potable water.
Do not leave water pooling in the joints.
Add 6.4 - 7.4 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 until achieving a uniform, lump-free consistency.
Important Note: Do not mix partial quantities unless an exact proportion based on volume can be achieved using proper tools.
Use the mixed material within 1 hours.
Do not add water to the mixture once the mortar grout starts to harden.
Apply Vetofill CG550 using either a rubber blade, a grouting trowel, a rubber spatula, or a sponge. Spread the mixed grout diagonally across the tile joints and firmly press it with a rubbing pad covered with a sponge rubber spatula to ensure filling all the gaps.
Remove excess grout that remains on tiles using the same tool.
After the grout initially dries, from 20-30 minutes, depends on the ambient temperature & humidity, clean the tiles and remove all excess material with a wet sponge. After full drying, clean the surface of the tiles with a dry cloth or dispensable cotton towels.
When washing & drying the tiles, ensure not to rub the tile joints too deep.
Moist the grout from time to time for the first 2 days after application to ensure achieving good hardened properties.
