Surface Preparation :
Before the joint filler is applied, the surface should be cured with an adhesive. The surface to which the product will be applied shall be cleared off substances that may damage adherence such as dust, paint, dirt, detergents, etc. The joint gaps shall be dampened with water before the application.
Application :
- Slowly pour Joint Filler with Silicone straight out of its 20 kg bag slowly into the mixing pot where 6,5-7 liters of water has been placed and slowly mix with a slow-speed mixer until a homogenous and pellet-free mixture is obtained. The prepared mixture shall be left to settle for 10 minutes and then mixed for another 1-2 minutes, then applied.
- The mortar shall be applied to joint gaps by hard rubber tipped mop or a pointing trowel with a rubber base. In order to completely fill the gaps, first parallel then transverse application should be carried out.
- The top layer of the mortar should be removed by a soft tipped putty knife or should be scraped off by a sponge tipped and moistened putty knife and then after being left to settle for 15-30 minutes according to the ambient temperature, the thin layer that may be left on the surface shall be cleaned with a damp sponge.
- The leveling and cleaning of the surface shall be carried out with a dry cloth while the joint is still wet.
- The application shall not be carried out on surfaces exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or that are too hot or frozen.

Storage Life:
The expiry date is 8 months for the powder component from the date of production provided that it is stored in sealed (unopened) original package and not subject to direct sunlight, humidity and frost and with maximum 8 times piling.
Safety Precautions/Warnings:
- Use between +5 Cº and +35 Cº.
- No foreign substance may be added to the prepared mortar.
- The expired mortar should not be re-used by mixing with water or dry mortar.
- Do not apply on surfaces subject to sunlight for prolonged periods or that are very hot or frozen.
- In order to avoid damage to colored joint fillings, cleaning products such as bleach, hydrochloric acid, lime remover, etc. should not be used.
- To maintain the homogenous color, final wiping shall be carried out with utmost care.
- Since it may cause yellowing on white and light colored joints, do not let the ceramics stay in water before the application.
- Do not inhale the dust of the product since the material is cement based; avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
