Litokol Starlike EVO is a two-component epoxy grout, here in color Azzurro caraibi (320). The colored paste and the hardener are together in one bucket. You can grout ceramics, porcelain stoneware and mosaics with it, and the same product can also be used as tile adhesive.
Color & Atmosphere
Azzurro caraibi (320) is bright turquoise. This is the color people choose for a swimming pool or a mosaic wall that really stands out.
Product & Application
Starlike EVO is intended for joints from 1 to 15 mm, on floors and walls, 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 behind 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 floors with heavy traffic
For natural stone, polished porcelain stoneware, and porous materials, the manufacturer always recommends making a test joint first. This helps determine if the material absorbs the resin or is difficult to clean. Tuscan terracotta and other porous items such as concrete kerbstones are not suitable for this application.
Substrate & Compatibility
As a grout, apply Starlike EVO in joints that are clean, dust-free, and open to 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, strong, 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 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 bag with hardener and empty it completely into the bucket with part A; roll up the bag so that nothing remains. Mix with a slow-speed 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, most favorably between +18 °C and +23 °C
- Approximately 60 minutes working time in the bucket at +23 °C
- Apply with a rubber 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 haze and residue from the tile after about 24 hours with 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 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 out 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 spread 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 haze within approximately 24 hours with Litonet EVO for floors or Litonet Gel EVO for walls.
Can I clean the grouted floor with bleach? No. The manufacturer advises against bleach: if not sufficiently 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.
