Applicable Standards
ANSI A118.7 (polymer modified cement grouts) EN 13888:2009 Classification according to EN 13888: CG2 WA.
The grooves between all external and internal ceramic surfaces to be grouted must be sound and thoroughly cleaned before the application of the product. All traces of oil or grease must be removed. All loose particles of mortar or tile adhesive in the groove must be removed. Joints should be emptied to at least 2/3 of the tile thickness. Before grouting make sure that tiles are set and that the adhesive had completely dried. Joints width should be from 1.5 mm to 20 mm.
Use wet sponge to remove dusts from joints before application.
Before grouting with ARMOR JOINT PRO 200, make sure that the adhesive has completely dried; it will depend on site and weather conditions.
- 24 hours minimum after standard tile adhesives application
- 4 hours minimum after fast-setting tile adhesives application
- 14 days minimum after tiling with traditional “site- mix” mortar on floors (minimum 3 days for walls)
- Some tiles with a matt or porous texture are prone to surface staining when coloured grouts are It is recommended to check that no stain will occur by testing on small surface before starting the whole job.
In external application, protect the worked area from rain and freezing for 72 hours. In internal application avoid water immersion for 72 hours.
- Do not mix ARMOR JOINT PRO 200 with dirty or salty
- ARMOR JOINT PRO 200 should not be used for expansion joints on concrete floor or wall
- Mix ARMOR JOINT PRO 200 with clean water
- Do not use acid to clean coloured grout
Mix 5 kg of ARMOR JOINT PRO 200 with 1.15 to 1.25 Lit. of clean cool water by adding the powder over the water gradually. The amount of mixing water must be respected to avoid efflorescence over the surface of the grout. An electric mixer with low rotation speed (< 300 rpm) should be used. Mix for about 3 to 5 minutes until a uniform lump free paste is obtained. Remix thoroughly until the finished mix has a very creamy consistency and uniformly coloured and allow the mixture to stand for a few minutes before use. water gradually.

Apply ARMOR JOINT PRO 200 with a rubber spatula into the joints diagonally by filling all the gaps, make sure that the product is well compacted with no voids. Use the product within a maximum of 45 min (depending on temperature) after mixing.
Allow the grout to dry (10 or 20 minutes depending on the weather condition) before starting the cleaning process, remove surplus with a damp sponge moving diagonally to prevent removal of grout within the joints. Rinse the sponge frequently using two water containers, one to remove the grouts residue and the other one to clean the sponge. Avoid excess of water while cleaning to prevent discoloration of joints. When dry, polish the tiles with a clean, dry cloth. Do not spray water under high pressure and avoid using any chemical cleaning agent on the grout until 3 days after the application.
Curing
In case of hot or windy conditions, it is recommended to dampen the joint a few hours after application of ARMOR JOINT PRO 200, it improves its final performance.
Examples of consumption (in kg/m2):
Tile size(cm) / Joint width(mm) | 2 | 4 | 6 | 10 |
2.5 x 2.5* | 2.30 | – | – | – |
15 x 15 | 0.38 | 0.77 | 1.15 | 1.92 |

Indicative consumptions calculated with a tile thickness of 8mm In the case of mosaics with a size of 2.5 x 2.5 cm, the tile thickness of 5mm was used to calculate the consumption. These values only give an indication about the grout consumption.
The real product consumption can differ depending on site conditions and wastage when grouting. This formula does not include application wastage.
TILE GROUT CONSUMPTION FORMULA:
C = 0.18 x E x H x [(L + W)/(L x W)]

ARMOR JOINT PRO 200 can be stored for 2 years in its original packaging, stored away from extreme temperatures and in dry conditions.
The product contains cement powders which, when mixed with water, release alkalis that could be harmful to the skin.
