Description

Mapei Latex Plus Admixture is a water dispersion of an extremely flexible polymer with low viscosity to be mixed with Mapei Keraquick S1 and Nivorapid in order to improve their deformability, improving their application and performance characteristics.

  • Mapei Keraquick S1 or Nivorapid mixed with Mapei Latex Plus should never be applied at temperatures below +5°C or above +30°C.
  • Do not use more than the recommended amount of Mapei Latex Plus.
  • Do not add Mapei Latex Plus or water to a mix that has already begun to set.
  • Do not leave Mapei Latex Plus, Nivorapid and Keraquick S1 exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time before using.

Using Mapei Latex Plus with Mapei Keraquick S1:

This results in a high performance, fast setting, highly deformable (class C2F S2 according to EN 12004) adhesive for interior and exterior installations of ceramic tiles (double-fired, single-fired, grès, clinker, terracotta, vitreous mosaic, porcelain, etc.), including large format, and moisture-stable natural stones not subject to staining on:

  • underfloor heating installations;
  • façades, balconies, terraces;
  • precast concrete walls;
  • existing floors (ceramic tiles, marble, etc.);
  • cement screeds or hot-poured asphalt substrates (provided they are stable and well oxidized);
  • deformable surfaces (gypsum board panels, asbestos cement, etc.).

Mixing ratio:
Mix Mapei Keraquick S1 with Mapei Latex Plus only, without adding water, when maximum deformability is required, e.g. for tiling directly over poured concrete with at least 3 months curing in favourable atmospheric conditions, for large size ceramic tiles (> 30×30 cm), or installations subject to wide temperature fluctuation.

6 kg of Mapei Latex Plus for each 20 kg bag of Keraquick S1 Grey; 6 kg of Mapei Latex Plus for each 20 kg bag of Keraquick S1 White.

Preparing the mix: Pour the powder into the liquid, mixing with an agitator at low speed until a homogenous, lump-free paste is obtained. Let the mix stand for a few minutes, then mix again briefly, and apply.

Applying the mix: Spread the mix on the substrate with a notched trowel and set the tiles quickly, pressing firmly to ensure transfer of the adhesive. Always be careful to stay within the open time of the adhesive. In certain ambient conditions (high temperatures, dry, windy weather) the open time may be shorter than usual. N.B. For exterior installation of large size tiles, floors to be polished in situ, or those subject to heavy traffic, back-buttering is recommended to ensure total transfer of the adhesive without voids.

Grouting & Sealing: Joints can be grouted after 2-3 hours with the special Mapei cementitious (Ultracolor Plus, Keracolor Flex) or epoxy grouts (Kerapoxy, Kerapoxy CQ, Kerapoxy Easy Design), available in different colours.

Ready for use: Floors are able to take light foot traffic after 2-3 hours. Surfaces are ready for use after 24 hours. Basins and swimming pools can be filled after 3 days.
