Two Part Epoxy Grout Job Work In Madhya Pradesh

Two-part epoxy grout is a high-performance grouting solution used in applications that require high chemical resistance, durability, and minimal water absorption. It is made of two components: resin and hardener, which are mixed before application. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what’s involved in a two-part epoxy grout job work:

 1. Materials & Tools Required

Two-part epoxy grout kit (resin + hardener)

Clean bucket or mixing container

Margin trowel or slow-speed drill with mixing paddle

Rubber grout float

Epoxy-safe sponges

Clean water & multiple buckets

Gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing

Grout remover tool (if old grout is present)

Masking tape (optional)

 2. Surface Preparation

Cleaning: Ensure joints and tile surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or old grout.

Joint width: Most epoxy grouts are suitable for joints ≥1.5 mm; check product specs.

Masking (optional): For porous tiles, edges can be masked to prevent staining.

 3. Mixing the Epoxy Grout

Mixing ratio: Follow the manufacturer’s ratio exactly (usually 1:1 or 2:1 by weight/volume).

Mix resin and hardener thoroughly in a clean container.

Mix only as much as you can use in about 30–45 minutes (pot life).

Do not add water or other additives.

 4. Application Procedure

Apply using rubber float: Press grout firmly into the joints at a 45° angle.

Compact the grout: Ensure full, bubble-free coverage in joints.

Remove excess: Scrape off excess grout from the tile surface using the float held at a 90° angle.

5. Cleaning the Tiles

Initial cleaning: Within 10–15 minutes of application, clean tiles using a damp sponge (with minimal water).

Final cleaning: Use clean water and a soft sponge to remove any haze before the grout fully cures.

Use a specialty epoxy grout cleaner if residue remains after curing.

 6. Curing Time

Initial set: ~24 hours (may vary depending on ambient temperature).

Full cure: Typically 5–7 days for chemical resistance and heavy use.

Avoid foot traffic for at least 24 hours.

7. Final Inspection

Check for:

Uniform grout lines

Absence of pinholes or voids

No residue or haze on tile surfaces

 8. Safety & Precautions

Epoxy grout can be harsh on skin and lungs. Always wear protective gear.

Dispose of unused material per local environmental regulations.

Avoid working in high humidity or very high temperatures.

 Applications

Commercial kitchens, hospitals, laboratories

Swimming pools and spas

Industrial areas and factories

Residential bathrooms and countertops (especially with glass or mosaic tiles)
