Questions about Grouting with Epoxy Grout (non-Industrial Applications)
I need only a small amount of the epoxy grout. I do not want to mix the entire unit. What can I do?
For best results, LATICRETE suggests that you mix the entire unit. However, if you need to mix up a small amount, use the
same proportions of each component (e.g. Use ½ of the part A, ½ of the part B, ½ of the part C, etc..)
How much time do I have to work with LATAPOXY Grouts once mixed?
You have approximately 1 hour working time with LATAPOXY Grouts at 70 degrees F (21 degrees C) after it's mixed.
How much epoxy grout do I need for my project?
The tile size, joint depth and width will determine how much grout you will consume. A LATICRETE grout coverage calculator is available on our website @ www.laticrete.com/coverage.

Do I have to use all of LATAPOXY Part "C" filler powder when mixing LATAPOXY Grouts?
One of the key advantages of LATAPOXY Grouts is that its consistency is adjustable during mixing. You must add at least 3/4 of the Part C filler powder to the fully blended Part A and B resins. Joint size and depth, temperature and other site conditions will dictate exactly how much powder will be used. For optimum grout coverage, use all of the Part C Powder. For grouting narrow joints and/or better workability, use 10% less Powder.

I am grouting in temperatures colder than 60 degrees F (16 degrees C), what should I do?
For best results, the surface temperature of the area being grouted should be between 60 degrees F (16 degrees C) and 90 degrees F (32 degrees C). If the temperature is cooler, down to 45 degrees F (7 degrees C) use LATAPOXY 2000 Industrial Grout. The 2000 grout will cure faster at the colder temperature. Cool temperatures will slow curing and require longer time to traffic. Store all of the LATAPOXY components at 70 degrees F (21 degrees C) for 24 hours prior to use. The Liquid Packets can be warmed up by placing them in warm water.
