Litokol Starlike EVO is a two-component epoxy grout, here in the colour Verde smeraldo (410). The coloured paste and the hardener are together in one bucket. You can use it to grout ceramics, porcelain stoneware and mosaic, and the same product can also be used as a tile adhesive.
Colour & ambiance
Verde smeraldo (410) is a bright, saturated emerald green. A distinct choice that works best with glass mosaic, where the colour can catch the light.
Product & application
Starlike EVO is designed for joints from 1 to 15 mm, on floors and walls, indoors and outdoors. The cured joint is non-absorbent and stain-resistant. The colour comes from sintered quartz spheres that are coloured 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 reconstituted stone
- Terracotta and clinker
- Wet rooms, showers, swimming pools, fountains, spas and hammams
- Terraces, balconies, facades and heavy-traffic floors
For natural stone, polished porcelain stoneware and porous materials, the manufacturer always recommends making a test joint first. This determines whether the material absorbs the resin or is difficult to clean. Tuscan terracotta and other porous items such as concrete kerbstones are excluded from the application.
Substrate & compatibility
When used as a grout, Starlike EVO should be applied to joints that are clean, dust-free and open across the full tile thickness. First, check that the tile adhesive is completely dry and cured. If using it as an adhesive, the substrate must be clean, load-bearing, crack-free and free from rising damp.
- Screeds and levelling layers
- Concrete and plasterwork
- Underfloor heating
- Waterproofing layers, including Coverflex and Aquamaster EVO
- Metal substrates, for example in prefabricated bathrooms
- Wooden kitchen worktops 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 range.
Processing
Cut open the hardener bag and empty it completely into the bucket containing component A; roll up the bag to ensure nothing is left behind. Mix with a slow-speed mixer at approximately 300 rpm until a creamy, lump-free mass is obtained, then scrape down the sides and bottom of the bucket. Manual mixing is not recommended.
- Apply between +10 °C and +30 °C, ideally between +18 °C and +23 °C
- Approximately 60 minutes pot life at +23 °C
- Apply with a rubber float, diagonally to the joint 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 using Litonet EVO for floors or Litonet Gel EVO for walls. After this, the product can only be removed mechanically. Do not apply if 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 grout—wait 48 to 72 hours before placing breathable material over it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I also use Starlike EVO as tile adhesive? Yes. Spread it with the smooth side of the trowel to about 1 mm and then comb it with the notched side. Grouting can be done after about 24 hours.
How long do I have after mixing? Approximately 60 minutes at +23 °C. In warm weather, this will be 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 about 24 hours using Litonet EVO for floors or Litonet Gel EVO for walls.
Can I clean the grouted floor with bleach? No. The manufacturer advises against bleach: with insufficient dilution or rinsing, the grout can yellow, which is particularly noticeable on light colours. Also, do not use aggressive cleaners for the first five days.
