Litokol Starlike Finishes Platinum is a colour effect that you mix into Starlike EVO as a third component. The 100-gram sachet is pre-dosed for a 2.5 kg bucket, so you don't have to weigh it. It is therefore not a standalone grout but an addition to a bucket that you buy separately.
Colour & atmosphere
Platinum gives the grout a cool, silver-grey metallic sheen. With white and grey tiling, this creates a sleek, almost industrial look.
Product & application
Important: the metallic range works exclusively in combination with Starlike EVO 113 Neutro. If you mix Platinum into a coloured bucket, you will not get the effect you paid for. So, order the Neutro bucket along with it.
- Ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware, and mosaic
- Clinker
- Walls and floors, indoors only
- Bathrooms, kitchens, shops, and showrooms
- Furniture elements and columns
Mind the limits. Do not use a bucket with this effect outdoors — on terraces, balconies, facades, and in swimming pools — as the additives have poor resistance to UV radiation. Also, do not use it on surfaces that come into contact with aggressive chemicals, such as industrial floors.
Substrate & compatibility
The substrate requirements are those of Starlike EVO itself: the joints must be clean, dust-free, open across the full tile thickness, and the tile adhesive must be completely dry and cured.
- Exclusively with Starlike EVO 113 Neutro
- Pre-dosed for the bucket size: this sachet is for 2.5 kg
- Not for outdoor applications
- Not on surfaces with aggressive chemical exposure
The effect is most pronounced on a surface where daylight or artificial light falls. In a dark corner, you will see little of it.
Processing
First, mix the hardener (part B) into the coloured paste (part A) of Starlike EVO with a slow-rotating mixer until a lump-free mass is obtained. Then carefully pour this sachet in and gently mix until it is evenly distributed.
- Pour carefully: the powder is light and easily dusts up
- Mix at low speed, otherwise the product will splash
- Apply with a rubber float, diagonally to the joint direction
- Most favourable between +18 °C and +23 °C
- Clean while the product is fresh
Do not add water or solvent to make it easier to spread. Below +10 °C, the mixture becomes thick and difficult to process, and curing takes much longer; do not start if the temperature drops below +10 °C within 24 hours. In warm weather, spread the product quickly over the surface, as the reaction heat in the bucket shortens the working time.

Frequently asked questions
Do I also need a bucket of Starlike EVO for this? Yes. This is an additive, not a grout in itself. The sachet is pre-dosed for a 2.5 kg bucket, which you order separately.
Can I mix this into a coloured bucket? No. The metallic range is designed for Starlike EVO 113 Neutro. With a coloured bucket, you will not get the metallic effect.
Can I use this on my balcony or terrace? No. These additives have poor resistance to UV radiation and are therefore only intended for indoor use. For outdoor use, use a regular EVO colour without effect.
How do I prevent the powder from dusting? Pour it slowly into the already mixed bucket and keep the mixer speed low. The powder is very light, so fast pouring or hard mixing will cause it to swirl up.
