Areas of Application:

ASO-Fugenbunt is especially suitable for grouting absorbent ceramic tiles made from red or white bodied biscuit. The grouting performance, the stiffening in the joint, the water retention and the wash off properties are tailored to suit these tiles. ASO-Fugenbunt is used for joint widths up to 6 mm in interior areas, on walls and floors, in dry, splash contact and wet areas. For grouting floor areas we recommend ASO-Flexfuge, for heavy duty areas HF05-Brillantfuge or ASODUR-DESIGN. For grouting natural stone, fully vitrified and other tiles with low water absorption, glass mosaics and tiles, we recommend CRISTALLFUGE-PLUS.

Product Details

Only mix ASO-Fugenbunt with clean water in a clean mixing bucket

Only mix ASO-Fugenbunt with clean water in a clean mixing bucket. Place 1.25 to 1.5 l water into the bucket, dependent on the desired consistency, add 5 kg ASO-Fugenbunt and then mix to a homogenous, smooth
mass.
Vitrified tiles:
approx. 1.25–1.35 l water : 5 kg ASO-Fugenbunt
White and red-bodied earthenware tiles:
approx. 1.35–1.5 l water : 5 kg ASO-Fugenbunt.
We recommend mixing with a suitable mixing tool (speed approx.300–500 rpm). After a standing time of 2 mins, remix the grout. In order to avoid colour variations, keep the mixing ratio the same.

Work the ASO-Fugenbunt into the wall

Work the ASO-Fugenbunt into the wall or floor tile joints using a grout float and light pressure. Strike off diagonal to the joints so that the joint section is completely filled. In order to ensure the joints are completely filled in one application, only strike off excess grout cleanly and diagonally to the joints after a short wait (30 – 60 seconds).

Once the grout has stiffened

Once the grout has stiffened (check with a finger test) wash the grout contours with a dampened sponge. After a few minutes wash clean with a sponge board.
