Processing PCI Nanofug Premium

Mixing water: see mixing ratio in a clean container, add PCI Nanofug Premium, and immediately knead into a homogeneous, lump-free mortar using a suitable stirring or mixing tool, e.g., from Collomix, attached to a drill. After a curing time of approximately 3 minutes, knead again. Apply the joint mortar with a PCI rubber jointing disc into the joints and allow to set. Optionally, rework with PCI Nanofug Premium for a second time. After sufficient setting, perform a finger test with a slightly damp, stable sponge or sponge board. After drying, remove any remaining mortar residue with a slightly damp sponge.

Important notes

• Do not process at substrate temperatures below 5°C or above 25°C, or in direct sunlight or drafts.
• Lower temperatures shorten, higher temperatures extend the processing time. Protect freshly grouted surfaces from sunlight and strong drafts.
• During grouting and curing, the underfloor heating must be switched off for at least 24 hours.
• If a white film remains on the ceramic surface after drying, it can be removed after 2 to 3 days with a cement film remover. Thoroughly clean the joints and surface beforehand and rinse thoroughly with plenty of water after cleaning.
• Intensive use of highly alkaline cleaners or prolonged exposure to cement-aggressive media can attack the grout. Clean the joints thoroughly before cleaning and rinse with plenty of water afterward.
• When grouting slip-resistant or textured floors, carefully remove the residual film while still fresh. Conduct a test grouting or cleaning beforehand.
• For polished fine stoneware, color pigments may settle in the micro-pores of the surface. Avoid strong color contrast between tile and joint. Conduct a test grouting if unsure.
• When grouting sharp-edged tiles, it is recommended to use the jointing fleece, see brochure "Work and advertising material for the tiler trade".
• For black color, increased cleaning effort may be required.
• Before grouting, secure edge joints and movement joints by inserting styrofoam strips or foam profiles. Remove protective strips before elastic grouting. Grout joints between tiles, fixtures, and pipe penetrations, as well as corner and connection joints, elastically with PCI Silcofug E or PCI Silcoferm S, and on facades with PCI Elritan 100.
• Use only grout with the same batch number on the same project.
• Mixing PCI Nanofug Premium with quartz sand may alter the original color tone.
