Surface Preparation
The application flour is cleaned of grout and foreign materials to prepare for applying the UKS Joint Sealant.

Preparation Instructions
Residues on the surface that can prevent the adhesion are cleaned. 20 kg of UKS Joint Sealant is mixed by pouring slowly 5-6lt water. Mixture is done with a low-speed mixer (400- 600 r/min). Homogeneous mixed grout is rested for 5 minutes and mixed once more again before application. Prepared mixture is spread on the ceramics with rubber trowel and the joint is filled.  Surplus material is peeled off with diagonal movements. Building material is waited until it resists the finger pressure and required moisture for completing its hydration is provided by cleaning the entire surface with a damp sponge. The joint sealant residues on the ceramic are cleaned with a damp sponge and joints are given the final shape.

Considerations
Never use the expired or shelling grout. Hardened grout should not be watered. Applications must be kept away from rain, frost, wind, sunlight and high temperature for the first 24 hours.
