• Aesthetics – Available in specify shades.
• Easy to use – Easily to mix with water and forms soft consistency paste which is easy to fill the joints.
• Shrinkage & cracking – Avoids cracks formation in the joints and also there is negligible shrinkage.
• Service Temperature – Specially formulated for temperature range of 5° – 120°C.
• Water resistant – Excellent water-resistance making it beneficial for application in areas immersed under water.
• Durability & UV resistant – Excellent UV resistance & durability enables the product use for exterior application.
• High Strength & abrasion resistant – High strength & abrasion resistance properties makes it suitable for grouting of toilets & bathrooms.

Mixing:

• For best results a mechanically powered grout mixer should be used. When quantities up to 50kg are used, a heavy duty slow speed drill (400 500 rpm) fitted with a paddle is suitable. Larger quantities will require a heavy duty mixer.
• To enable the grouting operation to be carried out continuously, it is essential that sufficient mixing capacity and labor are available. The use of a grout holding tank with provision to gently agitate the grout may be required.

Consistency of grout mix:

• The quantity of clean water required to be added to a 25kg bag to achieve the desired consistency is given below:
  Pourable: 4.125 liters
  Flowable: 4.500 liters
• The selected water content should be accurately measured into the mixer. The total content of the ARACONE GP2 bag should be slowly added and continuous mixing should take place for 5 minutes. This will ensure that the grout has a Smooth even consistency.

Placing:

• At 30°C place the grout within 20 minutes of mixing to gain full benefit of the expansion process. ARROTILE Gp2 can be placed in thicknesses up to 100mm in a single pour when used as an underplate grout.
• For thicker sections it is necessary to fill out ARACONE Gp2 with well graded silt free aggregate to minimize heat buildup. Typically a 10mm aggregate is suitable. 50 – 100% aggregate weight of ARROTILE GP2 can be added.
• Any bolt pockets must be grouted prior to grouting between the substrate and the base plate. Continuous grout flow is essential. Sufficient grout must be prepared before starting. The time taken to pour a batch must be regulated to the time to prepare the next one.

Health and Safety :

• ARROTILE GP2 is alkaline and should not come into contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust during mixing should be avoided.
• Gloves, goggles and dust mask should be worn. If contact with skin occurs, it shall be washed with water.
• Splashes to eyes should be washed immediately with plenty of clean water and medical advice sought.

Low temperature working:

• When the air or contact surface temperatures are 10°C or below on a falling thermometer, warm water 0 (30 – 40°C) is recommended to accelerate strength 0 development.
• For ambient temperature below 10°C the formwork should be kept in place for at least 36 hours. Normal precautions for winter working with
  cementitious materials should then be adopted.
