Processing

Inspect the surface for suitability and follow the covering manufacturer´s instructions. For uniform results use only products with the same batch number. Before grouting the mortar must be almost completely cured and dry, the joints must be clean and equally deep.
Mix Servoperl with clean water to a paste-like grout compound of uniform color. Fill joints first crossways and then diagonally. As soon as the grout starts to dry, wipe with a sponge and as little water as possible. The grout has dried sufficiently when it can only be pressed in slightly with the fingernail. Remove excess grout from tile immediately. If necessary, wipe grout remains with sponge within 1 hour. Do not dust uncured joints with grout powder.

To avoid staining:
Low temperature delays the hardening process and may cause color variations. Ground moisture can cause efflorescence and discolored joints. Scrubbing and cleaning the dried joints with highly diluted, acidic cleansers has proven to be very effective. Wet the joints before applying cleanser. Work from the top to the bottom on walls and avoid puddles on the floor.
Servoperl is a cement-based product and therefore not entirely resistant to aggressive cleansers and water with high chloride content.
Please read the references in chapter 11 section 4 "Grouting tips".

approx. 108 sq. ft. per bag with 4" x 4" tiles
approx. 54 sq. ft. per bag with 2" x 2" tiles
With 44 lbs. bags expect four times coverage
approx. 0.35 kg/m² for tiles 15 cm x 15 cm
approx. 0.5 kg/m² for mosaic 10 cm x 10 cm
approx. 1.0 kg/m² for mosaic 5 cm x 5 cm
Coverage is subject to joint width and other factors and therefor for estimating purposes only

Cleaning

Clean tools immediately with water.

Note

The information is based on our experience and is to be regarded as general instructions. We do not have any influence on the conditions at the construction site and the proper processing. Various external factors may effect the color shading of the grout; for example, varying widths of the joints, quantity of water used for mixing and clean-up, temperature and humidity, cleaning procedures, etc. All of these factors are beyond our control, therefore, consistent shading of the grout and successful results cannot be guaranteed.If in doubt as to the suitability of a certain tile, make a test panel to determine if the grout can be completely cleaned from the surface.
