Litokol Starlike EVO is a two-component epoxy grout, here in color Rosa kyoto (830). 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
Rosa kyoto (830) is translucent pink with shimmer, light and restrained. On a small mosaic surface, it gives a soft, warm reflection.
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, spa and hammam
- Terraces, balconies, facades and floors with heavy traffic
For natural stone, polished porcelain stoneware and porous materials, the manufacturer prescribes always making a test grout 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 kerbstones are outside the scope of 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 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 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 countertops with tiles or mosaic
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 hardener bag and empty it completely into the bucket with part A; roll up the bag to ensure nothing is left behind. Mix with a slow-rotating mixer of approximately 300 rpm until a creamy, lump-free mass is formed and scrape the sides and bottom of the bucket afterwards. Manual mixing is not recommended.
- Process between +10 °C and +30 °C, ideally 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 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 residues 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 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. You 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 much time do I have after mixing? Approximately 60 minutes at +23 °C. In warm weather, this goes faster, so distribute the product quickly over the floor instead of leaving it in the bucket.
What if I remove residues too late? After hardening, epoxy can only be removed mechanically. Therefore, remove hazes 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 insufficiently diluted or rinsed, the grout can yellow, which is particularly noticeable on light colors. Also, do not use aggressive cleaners for the first five days.
