Litokol Starlike EVO is a two-component epoxy grout, here in color Beige Havana (825). The colored paste and the hardener are together in one bucket. You can grout ceramics, porcelain stoneware and mosaic with it, and the same product can also be used as tile adhesive.
Color & atmosphere
Beige Havana (825) is translucent warm beige with a subtle sheen. It keeps glass mosaic soft instead of cool.
Product & application
This translucent version belongs to the Starlike EVO line and shares its processing and properties. It is intended for decorative tiling where the tile itself must remain visible, on floors and walls, indoors and outdoors.
- 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 floors with heavy traffic
For natural stone, polished porcelain stoneware, and porous materials, the manufacturer advises always 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 not included in the application.
Substrate & compatibility
As a grout, apply Starlike EVO to joints that are clean, dust-free and open for the full tile thickness. First check that 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 from 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 countertops with tiles or mosaic
Butt joints without space are not allowed, and plastic tile spacers must 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 hardener bag and completely empty it 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 rpm 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 favorably between +18 °C and +23 °C
- Approximately 60 minutes working time in the bucket at +23 °C
- Apply with a rubber grout float, diagonally to the direction of the joint
- 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 veils and residues after approximately 24 hours from the tile with Litonet EVO for floors or Litonet Gel EVO for walls. After that, the product can only be removed mechanically. Do not apply anything 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 joint — 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 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 will be faster, so spread the product quickly over the floor instead of leaving it in the bucket.
What if I remove residues too late? After curing, epoxy can only be removed mechanically. Therefore, remove veils 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: with insufficient dilution or rinsing, the joint can yellow, which is particularly noticeable on light colors. Also, do not use aggressive cleaners for the first five days.
