Litokol Starlike Pro is a sixth-generation decorative epoxy grout, here in Caolino (27) color. It is a two-component product: the colored gel and the polymeric hardener are together in one 2.5 kg bucket. You can use it to grout tiles, mosaics, and natural stone, and the same product can also be used as tile adhesive.
Color & ambiance
Caolino (27) has the soft, powdery tone of porcelain clay. It keeps light tiles warm without turning yellow.
Product & application
Starlike Pro is intended for joints from 1 to 20 mm, on floors and walls, indoors and outdoors. The cured grout is waterproof, stain-resistant, and UV-resistant. The color comes from colored quartz and glass microspheres instead of chemical pigments, which ensures color stability.
- Ceramic and glass mosaics, ceramic tiles, and porcelain stoneware
- Large format tiles and laminated stoneware slabs
- Marble, granite, natural stone, and reconstituted stone
- Terracotta and clinker
- Wet rooms, bathrooms and showers, swimming pools and fountains, spas and hammams
- Terraces, balconies, facades, and industrial floors
For natural stone, polished porcelain stoneware, mosaics, and porous surfaces, the manufacturer always recommends making a test joint first. This way you can determine if the material discolors or is difficult to clean.
Substrate & compatibility
When used as a grout, apply Starlike Pro to joints that are dry, dust-free, and open for at least two-thirds of the tile thickness. If using it as an adhesive, the substrate must be load-bearing and free of loose particles, grease, oil, paint, wax, and rising damp, in accordance with UNI 11493-1.
- Screeds, leveling layers, and plasterwork
- Gypsum and anhydrite
- Concrete, cellular concrete, and fiber cement boards
- Existing tiles, metal, and wood
- Underfloor heating, waterproofing systems, and separation membranes
For the elastic sealing of expansion, control, and connection joints, do not use epoxy grout but a sealant from the Pixel 3D line.
Processing
Cut open the hardener bag and empty it completely into the bucket with part A. Mix with a slow-rotating mixer of approximately 300 rpm until a creamy, lump-free mass is obtained, scraping the sides and bottom of the bucket. Manual mixing is not recommended, as an uneven mixture affects the final strength.
- Process between +10 °C and +30 °C
- Over 90 minutes working time in the bucket
- Apply with the Starlike rubber grout float, diagonally to the grout direction
- Clean while the product is fresh, with white felt and then a damp sponge
- Light foot traffic after 24 hours, fully in use after 5 days, swimming pools after 7 days
Remove residues from the tile surface within 24 hours and no later than 48 hours, using Starlike Care for floors or Starlike Wall Care for walls. After that, the product can only be removed mechanically. Do not apply anything when the temperature drops below +10 °C within 24 hours, and protect the work from direct sunlight and strong drafts for the first 12 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much Starlike Pro do I need? Consumption depends on the tile format, tile thickness, and joint width. Use the calculator on the product page or Litokol's consumption calculator. For adhesive, calculate 1.1 kg/m² for a 2 mm notch, increasing to 3.5 kg/m² for 10 mm.
Can I use this grout over underfloor heating? Yes. Underfloor heating is listed in the technical data sheet as an approved substrate, and the cured grout is resistant from -20 °C to +100 °C. Observe the normal waiting times: 24 hours for light foot traffic and 5 days for full use.
Why do I need to do a test first for natural stone? Natural stone, mosaics, and polished stoneware vary greatly depending on their origin and production. Litokol therefore recommends a test joint to see in advance whether the surface discolors or is difficult to clean.
What if the temperature is colder than 10 degrees? Do not process the product if the temperature drops below +10 °C within 24 hours. If working near that limit, Litokol advises adding EpoxyGel booster: one 50 gram sachet per 2.5 kg, two sachets per 5 kg.
