Synthetic Latex Additive for Cementitious Grout
GIUNTOLASTIC is an extremely elastic water based polymer. It is designed to be mixed with cementitious grout (NEOFIL COLOR or FUGACOLOR) in total or in partial replacement to water. The mixture of GIUNTOLASTIC with tile grout powder improves the compactness, abrasion resistance, impermeability and adhesion of grout when applied in joints between tiles.
In addition, the elastic property of the product allows the grout to absorb certain deformation and vibration on the substrates.
Packaging:
GIUNTOLASTIC is available in 20 Liter plastic pails.
Consumption:
Please refer to NEOFIL COLOR and FUGACOLOR data sheets.
Storage:
Store in dry and covered place out of direct sunlight and protect from high temperature (higher than +35ºC).
Shelf life:
12 months if stored as recommended.

Surface preparation
The joints between tiles should be clean free of dust. Clean the joints between tiles and brush before grouting.
Mixing
Shake GIUNTOLASTIC pail before use. Pour a part of the latex as needed into a clean container and then add NEOFIL COLOR 0-4, NEOFIL COLOR 4-20 or FUGACOLOR. Mix to get a homogeneous paste free from lumps.
Application
Leave the mixture for about 10 minutes, then remix shortly and apply with a rubber grout float into the previously cleaned and wet joints.
Let the product set for about 20 minutes, and then proceed with cleaning the tiles with soft sponge. After the complete hardening of the grout, remove, with a dry sponge, all the remaining traces of grout on the surface.
Cleaning
Tools and equipment should be cleaned with water immediately after use.
NEOFIL COLOR mixed with GIUNTOLASTIC would perform as follows:
| Properties | Result (0–4 mm) |
Result (4–20 mm) |
|
| Density of the mix (kg./Lt.) | 1.80 | 1.90 | |
| Flexural strength (N/mm²) | 7 | 7 | |
| Compressive strength (N/mm²) | 30 | 30 | |
| Water absorption (after 30 minutes) | < 5 g | < 5 g | |
| Shrinkage (mm/m) | < 3 | < 3 | |
| Temperature resistance | -30 to +80⁰C | -30 to +80⁰C |
Handle the product with caution.
During application, wear appropriate protective clothing, goggles, gloves and respiratory equipment if necessary.
In case of contact with skin, rinse with water and again wash thoroughly with soap and water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical advice accordingly.
If ingested, obtain medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
