EFFE 5 is CONCENTRATED; always dilute before use.
EFFE 5 is temporary non-stick, water-based protection, used to isolate absorbent floor and coating tiles from the retention of the grouting (for epoxy grouting refer to AF base solvente and for porcelain stoneware floors and coatings refer to ISOLCOTT). |
EFFE 5 is exceptionally used for any kind of handmade terracotta, clinker and stoneware, natural stone, cement and its derivatives, antique marble and rock; it can also be used for polished porcelain stoneware. |
SHAKE BEFORE USE
Always dilute by pouring the product in pure water and not vice versa.
• Add 250 ml to 1.750 litres of water (1+7) for polished porcelain stoneware.
• Add 250 ml to 3.750 litres of water (1+15) for handmade terracotta. This dilution is available on request as EFFE 500 PRONTO ALL’USO.
• Add 250 ml to 7.250 litres of water (1+29) for low absorption materials.
Apply one coat by roller, low pressure spray or brush at least 4 hours before grouting; verify the water repellency obtained by pouring water on the tiles; this must remain on the surface like drops of mercury. Grout and sponge as should be done, in a workmanlike manner (before the grout dries completely).
Once the grout is completely dry, simply wash it with suitable detergent, which will also remove the protection. |
