Litokol Starlike EVO is a two-component epoxy grout, here in color Azzurro pastello (300). The colored paste and the hardener are together in one bucket. You can use it to grout ceramics, porcelain stoneware and mosaics, and the same product can also be used as tile adhesive.
Color & atmosphere
Azzurro pastello (300) is soft pastel blue, light enough never to be harsh. With white mosaic, it gives a bathroom an airy, almost summery tone.
Product & application
Starlike EVO is intended for joints from 1 to 15 mm, on floor and wall, indoors and outdoors. The cured joint is non-absorbent and stain-resistant. The color comes from sintered quartz spheres that are colored on the surface, meaning no pigment is left on the tile and cleaning is easier.
- Ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware and single or double-fired tiles
- Ceramic and glass mosaic
- Large format tiles and thin laminated stoneware slabs
- Marble, granite, natural stone and reconstructed stone
- Terracotta and clinker
- Wet rooms, showers, swimming pools, fountains, spas and hammams
- Terraces, balconies, facades and floors with heavy traffic
For natural stone, polished porcelain stoneware and porous materials, the manufacturer prescribes always making a test joint first. This way you determine whether the material absorbs the resin or is difficult to clean. Tuscan terracotta and other porous articles such as concrete curbs are outside the application.
Substrate & compatibility
As a grout, apply Starlike EVO in joints that are clean, dust-free and open over the full tile thickness. First check whether the tile adhesive is completely dry and cured. If you use it as an adhesive, the substrate must be clean, load-bearing, crack-free and free of rising damp.
- Screeds and leveling layers
- Concrete and plasterwork
- Underfloor heating
- Waterproofing layers, including Coverflex and Aquamaster EVO
- Metal substrates, for example in prefabricated bathrooms
- Wooden kitchen tops with tiles or mosaics
Butt joints without space are not allowed, and plastic tile spacers should be removed before grouting. For the elastic sealing of expansion, corner and connection joints, do not use epoxy grout but a sealant from the Pixel 3D line.
Processing
Cut open the bag with hardener and empty it completely into the bucket with part A; roll up the bag so that nothing is left behind. Mix with a slow-rotating mixer of approximately 300 revolutions until a creamy, lump-free mass and scrape the wall and bottom of the bucket afterwards. Mixing by hand is not recommended.
- Process between +10 °C and +30 °C, most favorable between +18 °C and +23 °C
- Approximately 60 minutes processing time in the bucket at +23 °C
- Apply with a rubber float, diagonally to the grouting direction
- Clean while the product is fresh: first white felt, then a damp sponge
- Walkable after 24 hours, fully loadable after 5 days, swimming pools after 7 days
Remove haze and residue from the tile after approximately 24 hours with Litonet EVO for floors or Litonet Gel EVO 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, protect the work from direct sunlight and strong drafts for the first 12 hours, and do not cover the fresh joint — wait 48 to 72 hours before laying breathable material over it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I also use Starlike EVO as tile adhesive? Yes. You spread it with the smooth side of the float to approximately 1 mm and then comb it up with the notched side. Grouting can be done after approximately 24 hours.
How much time do I have after mixing? Approximately 60 minutes at +23 °C. In warm weather, this is faster, so spread the product quickly over the floor instead of leaving it in the bucket.
What if I remove residue too late? After curing, epoxy can only be removed mechanically. Therefore, remove haze within approximately 24 hours with Litonet EVO for floors or Litonet Gel EVO for walls.
May I clean the grouted floor with bleach? No. The manufacturer advises against bleach: if not sufficiently diluted or rinsed, the grout may yellow, which is particularly noticeable on light colors. Also, do not use aggressive cleaners for the first five days.
