Details

Two-component epoxy mortar, class R2 T according to EN 12004 and RG according to EN 13888, for bonding and grouting ceramic tiles, ceramic and glass mosaics, marble and natural stone to a thickness of 2 to 20 mm.

Instructions for use

Preparation for installation
When using the product as an adhesive, ensure that the substrate – whether concrete, screed, plaster or other – is sufficiently cured and strong, clean, free from dust, general dirt, oil or grease, and not damp or wet. When used as a sealant, ensure that both the tiles and the joints are free from dust, cement, oils, grease and general dirt.

Product preparation
Pour the pre-measured Component B into the Container for Component A and mix the two components thoroughly, using a trowel to ensure all the hardener is incorporated. For perfect mixing, use an electric drill, taking care to scrape the sides of the container several times until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Avoid partial dosing on site to prevent catalysis errors.

Application instructions
If used as an adhesive, apply the product by spreading it onto the substrate using a notched trowel, then lay the ceramic or stone tiles; or, if used as a joint filler, use a rubber squeegee, taking care to fill the joints thoroughly; then remove any excess. Once prepared, the mixture has a pot life of approx. 45 minutes (at 23°C and 50% RH); higher temperatures shorten the pot life, whilst lower temperatures extend it.

Cleaning
Proceed to clean the grouted joints using a hard or abrasive sponge, rinsing it frequently in clean water, preferably lukewarm.

Final cleaning
Once setting has begun, cleaning can be carried out using water with 10% alcohol added. Once fully hardened, only mechanical cleaning is possible.

Storage

24 months in the original packaging if stored in a cool, dry place at temperatures between +12 °C and +25 °C.

Warnings

Do not use T Epoxy:

  • If there is water on the substrate.
  • If there is oil, grease, dust or general dirt on the tiles and grout lines to be filled.
  • With incorrect mixing ratios and/or by diluting it with water, other types of binders or solvents.
  • At temperatures below +12 °C or above +25 °C.
  • For grouting untreated terracotta cladding and/or on absorbent substrates that do not guarantee adequate cleanability; in such cases, a preliminary test is recommended.
  • For grouting unglazed clinker tiles in dark colours.
  • For grouting natural stone before carrying out a test for staining, discolouration and cleanability.
  • For joints subject to movement; in such cases, use Torggler silicone sealants.
  • In situations where the intended use involves contact with acids and strong oxidising agents; therefore, for all applications where the grout may come into contact with profiles, edging, frames or substrates made of brass or copper. In such cases, the material may deteriorate and change colour, which could also affect adjacent areas or those in close contact with the product itself.
  • In situations where the intended use involves exposure to UV rays (consult the Torggler technical service).
  • Where different production batches are used, as these may exhibit slight colour variations.
