Usage & Packaging
KingFix EPF500 is available in 6 kg packs (3.6 ltr) and 12 kg packs (7.3 ltr).
When used as a tile adhesive, each 6 kg pack shall cover 3.6 m² at 1 mm thickness. When used as tile grout The approximate yield of the grout can be calculated as per the following equation: Yield (m²/kg) = 6.0 WD (0.02 + 1 + 1 ) L H Where: L: Tile length
Shelf life is 1 year when stored under cover, out of direct sunlight and protected from extremes of temperature
