Where to Use

Waterproofing and protection of concrete structures, renders and cementitious screeds.

Example Applications

• Waterproofing of concrete basins used for containing water.
• Waterproofing bathrooms, showers, balconies, terraces, swimming pools, etc. before laying ceramic tile finishes.
• Waterproofing of plasterboard, render, or cementitious surfaces, lightweight cement blocks and marine-grade plywood.
• Waterproofing retaining walls or pre-cast concrete elements embedded in the ground.
• Flexible smoothing layer for light-sectioned concrete structures, including those subjected to small deformations when under load (e.g. pre-cast panels).
• Protection of renders or concrete with cracks caused by shrinkage, against the inflitration of water and aggressive atmospheric elements.
• Protection, against the penetration of carbon dioxide, of concrete pillars and joists and road and railway viaducts repaired with products from the Mapegrout range, and structures with an insufficient layer of concrete covering on the reinforcement rods.
• Protection of concrete surfaces which may come into contact with seawater, de-icing salts, such as sodium or calcium chloride, and sulphates.

Technical Characteristics

Mapelastic is a two-component mortar based on cementitious binders, fine-grained selected aggregates, special additives and syntheitc polymers in water dispersion, blended according to a formula developed in MAPEI’s own research labs. When the two componentns are mixed together, a free-flowing mix is obtianed which may be easily applied, even on vertical surfaces, at a thickness of up to 2 mm in one single coat.

Mapelastic has excellent bonding properties on all concrete, masonry, ceramic and marble surfaces, as long as they are solid and sufficiently clean.

These properties mean that structures protected and waterproofed with Mapelastic are hardwearing, even under particularly adverse climatic conditions, in coastal areas with a high salt content in the atmosphere or in industrial areas where the air is particularly polluted.

Consumption

Manual application: approx 1.7 kg/m2 per mm of thickness.

Spray gun application: approx 2.2kg/m2 per mm of thickness.
