The <br />application, initial set in the joint, water retention and the <br />wash-off performance are matched to these materials. The <br />rapid crystalline binding of the mix water reliably prevents <br />edge discoloration. <br />CRISTALLFUGE-PLUS can be used for joints up to 10 mm</p> <p>1/4</p> <p>05/18</p> <p>Cleaning: with water whilst in the fresh state <br />Wet mix density: approx. 1.9 kg/dm3 <br />Packaging: <br />5 kg plastic bags <br />Storage: minimum 18 months when stored dry in <br />the original unopened packaging. Use <br />opened packaging promptly.</p> <p>clean mixing bucket. Place 1.2–1.5 litres of water in <br />the bucket and add 5 kg CRISTALLFUGE-PLUS and <br />mix until smooth and homogenous. Within this water <br />addition range, the pot life and initial setting time tends <br />to lengthen with higher or shorten with lower water <br />addition levels. <br />We recommend mixing with a suitable mechanical <br />mixer (speed approx. 300 – 500 rpm). <br />Subsequently one to three sachets of silver or gold <br />glitter (based on a 5 kg bag) can be mixed into the <br />grout dependent on the desired effect. <br />Allow to stand for 2 minutes, then re-mix the grout. In <br />order to avoid colour variations, always keep the mix <br />ratio constant. Do not mix more grout than can be used <br />within 30 minutes *). <br />2. Work CRISTALLFUGE-PLUS into wall or floor joints <br />using a grout float and light pressure. Strike off cleanly <br />and diagonally to the grout lines, so that a full joint is <br />achieved. If necessary top up the joint after a short wait. <br />3. Once the grout has started to stiffen (finger test), wash <br />the joint profile clean with a dampened sponge board. <br />After a few minutes wash the tile face clean with the <br />sponge board. <br />4. Keep movement joints empty in readiness for elastic <br />sealing with ESCOSIL-2000-ST. Rake out any <br />adhesive/grout residues after the initial set and wash <br />with a lightly dampened sponge. Any mortar film <br />remaining can be washed off after a few hours using a <br />sponge board and clean water. When cleaning do not <br />use dry cloths as there is a risk of discoloration due to <br />rubbing dried grout into the grout joints, which are still <br />damp. Protect the freshly grouted areas from conditions, <br />which may affect the setting such as high temperatures, <br />wind, rain or frost. In unfavourable weather conditions <br />(low humidity, draught, wind) and with highly absorbent <br />tile bodies, the grout curing process can be optimized <br />by post-treating the joints with clean water (wetting with <br />the sponge board). Frequently replace wash-off water <br />with fresh water.

The <br />adhesive must be fully set otherwise discolouration may <br />appear on the grout joints. Evenly pre-wet very porous <br />tiles. Joint edges must be clean and free from separating <br />substances. The time at which grouting may commence <br />where tiles have been laid in thin-bed adhesives is <br />approx. 3 to 72 hours after installation. With sand:cement <br />fixing methods, the mortar bed must be adequately <br />solid and evenly dry. Do not grout surfaces with varying <br />temperatures (e.g. from sunshine). <br />The consistency of the grout is to be adjusted to suit the <br />absorbency of the tile and the substrate. <br />1. Mix CRISTALLFUGE-PLUS with clean water in a</p> <p>2/4</p> <p>05/18</p> <p>stone with textured surfaces, polished porcelain with <br />surface micro-pores of varying size, it is recommended <br />that a test area is carried out (possibly lightly dampen <br />the surface or impregnate with a suitable material <br />before grouting). The time at which the grout should <br />be washed off is dependent on the tile type and the <br />prevailing climate. After waiting for a sufficient amount <br />of time, smoothen the surface without washing out the <br />joints.</p> <p>• Thoroughly clean the substrate before starting grouting. <br />• Note the setting times of adhesives and mortars. There <br />is a risk of discoloration if grouting too early. <br />• Assessments have shown that pore or bubble formation <br />in the grout is not related to the grout. The following <br />basic conditions are, as a rule, the cause: <br />1. Very highly absorbent stone or ceramic <br /> 2. High w/c ratio in the grout <br /> 3. Air bubbles blended into the mix <br /> For 1+2: Do not pre-wet highly dense stone. Using a sponge board,</p> <p>Important advice: <br />• Grout, which has started to stiffen, should not be re-lifed <br />through the addition of water or fresh mortar as there is <br />an increased risk of discoloration. <br />• We recommend regular aftercare and cleaning <br />for the grouted surface though the use of neutral or <br />slightly alkaline cleaners at the prescribed application <br />concentration. After cleaning, rinse the surface with <br />clean water. <br />• When using acid based cleaners observe the <br />appropriate directions. Refer to the specific properties <br />of the natural stone material installed. Pre-wet the <br />joints, then apply the cleaner – at low concentrations. <br />Keep the activity time of the cleaner to a minimum and <br />follow by washing with plenty of water. When used <br />incorrectly, e.g. dosage too high, extended contact with <br />the grout or omitting pre-wetting, acid based cleaners <br />can impair the strength or even completely destroy the <br />grout matrix. <br />• Pre-wet very absorbent stone or treat with a suitable <br />sealer before grouting. <br />• An increase in temperature of 10°C reduces the <br />working life by approx. 50%! <br />• Use only clean water and clean tools. <br />• For grouting floors in external areas we recommend <br />ASO-Flexfuge if the specific product properties of the <br />natural stone material permit this and discolouration, <br />e.g. from the stone’s own constituent parts, can be <br />precluded.</p> <p>For 3:</p> <p>wet low density stone, with consequently higher porosity <br />and capillary action, to saturation and then grout. <br />If too high a speed or an inappropriate paddle is used <br />to mix then more air can be entrained. To eliminate it is <br />advantageous to vibrate/bang until the entrained air <br />visibly leaves. A rounded paddle or helical paddle has <br />proven to be advantageous.</p> <p>• In draughts or sunlight, protect the joints from drying out <br />too quickly by possibly covering with polythene or by <br />repeatedly dampening the joints. <br />• Protect joints from rain and frost until set. <br />• Form elastic joints between tile bays, interruptions and <br />pipe penetrations as well as perimeter and connecting <br />joints with ESCOSIL-2000-ST or ESCOSIL-2000 <br />• Irregular moisture penetration, resulting from the subbase, mortar bed, temperature variations or the material <br />installed, can lead to colour variation in the grout finish, <br />which does not impair the quality of the grout and <br />which may recede with favourable conditions. We <br />cannot therefore guarantee that there will be no colour <br />variation. <br />• Unwashed aggregates from sand:cement bedding <br />(e.g. with a loam content) or substances from other <br />construction materials with the potential to discolour <br />may lead to patchiness in the grout surface. <br />• In the case of high mechanical loading e.g. from <br />cleaning equipment or chemical exposure, we <br />recommend that the highly durable grout <br />ASODUR-EK98 or ASODUR-DESIGN is used, should <br />the specific stone characteristics permit this.</p> <p>3/4</p> <p>05/18</p> <p>• To secure against filling edge joints and movement <br />joints with mortar, push in strips of polystyrene or foam <br />profiles before grouting. <br />• Due to the tendency to show the dirt more, light colours <br />should only be used in interiors or on walls. <br />• Use material from the same batch number within the <br />same room. <br />• To achieve optimum cement hydration, ensure that <br />there is adequate moisture available. This is especially <br />important with non-absorbent stone or tiles as no <br />deposit effect is to be expected. <br />• When grouting natural and synthetic stone, take the <br />specific properties of the product into consideration <br />(tendency to discolour). We recommend that a trial <br />area is grouted. <br />• Protect areas not being treated from the effects of <br />CRISTALLFUGE-PLUS. <br />• Keep out of the reach of children. <br />Please observe a current valid EU Safety Data Sheet. <br />GISCODE: ZP 1</p> <p>Information about the emission level of volatile compounds in indoor <br />air, which pose a health risk by inhalation, on a scale from class A+ <br />(very low emissions) to C (high emissions).</p> <p>This technical data sheet is a translation from German and does not consider local building codes or legal requirements.
