Epoxy Grout for 2-15 mm Joints – ARDEX WA
ARDEX WA Epoxy Grout provides durable, chemical-resistant, and easy-to-clean joint filling for ceramic tiles and natural stones. Suitable for joint widths of 2-15 mm, it offers a very fine and smooth joint surface with long-lasting and unchanging colors.
Usage Areas
For both interior and exterior applications. Suitable for walls and floors. Ideal for:
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain ceramics
- Glass mosaics
- Clinker
- Granite ceramics
Applicable in environments with high chemical and mechanical effects where cement-based adhesives are not suitable, such as:
- Food and beverage factories
- Canteens
- Kitchens
- Swimming pools
- Spas
For joint widths of 2–15 mm.
Product Type
Epoxy grout consisting of two components: an epoxy resin and a paste-like hardener. A 4 kg package contains 3 kg of resin paste and 1 kg of hardener.
After hardening, ARDEX WA Epoxy Grout becomes resistant to water, frost, and weather conditions. It has high strength and provides excellent adhesion to the edges of ceramic tiles.
Packaging
- 4 kg bucket: 3 kg of resin paste and 1 kg of hardener
Shelf Life and Storage
Approximately 18 months in a dry and cool environment in its original unopened packaging. Store upright to prevent damage. Avoid temperatures below +5°C during transportation. It is recommended to use thermal vehicles for transport in cold weather.
Mixing Ratio
Mix the 3 kg resin (component A) with the 1 kg hardener (component B) provided in the package.
Fresh Mortar Density
Approximately 1.5 kg/l
Material Requirement
For 3 mm joint width and 5 mm joint depth, the approximate reference values for ceramics and medium-sized mosaics are:
- 10 x 10 cm tiles: approx. 0.45 kg/m²
- 20 x 20 cm tiles: approx. 0.35 kg/m²
- 30 x 30 cm tiles: approx. 0.30 kg/m²
- 11.5 x 24 cm tiles: approx. 0.30 kg/m²
- 5 x 5 cm tiles: approx. 0.90 kg/m²
The wastage amount depends on the type, size, and application method of the tiles, and is approximately 0.10 – 0.20 kg/m².
Working/Pot Life*
Approximately 60 minutes
Open Time*
Approximately 30 minutes
Adjustment Time*
Approximately 30 minutes
Walkable Time*
After sufficient hardening, approximately 12 hours
*These values are approximate and calculated under laboratory conditions at +20°C and 65% relative humidity. Environmental and air conditions can alter these values. Higher temperatures and lower humidity shorten these times, while lower temperatures and higher humidity extend them.
Adhesion Strength
After 28 days of dry conditioning: greater than 2.5 N/mm²
Compressive Strength
- After 1 day: 60 N/mm²
- After 28 days: 70 N/mm²
Flexural Strength
- After 1 day: 30 N/mm²
- After 28 days: 45 N/mm²
