Mapei Latex Plus Admixture is a water dispersion of an extremely flexible polymer with low viscosity to be mixed with Mapei Keraquick S1<\/a> and Nivorapid in order to improve their deformability, improving their application and performance characteristics.<\/p>\n Using Mapei Latex Plus with Mapei Keraquick S1:<\/strong><\/p>\n 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, gr\u00e8s, clinker, terracotta, vitreous mosaic, porcelain, etc.), including large format, and moisture-stable natural stones not subject to staining on:<\/p>\n Mixing ratio:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Grouting & Sealing: Joints can be grouted after 2-3 hours with the special Mapei cementitious (Ultracolor Plus<\/a>, Keracolor Flex<\/a>) or epoxy grouts (Kerapoxy<\/a>, Kerapoxy CQ<\/a>, Kerapoxy Easy Design<\/a>), available in different colours.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Consumption:<\/strong> Technical Data:<\/strong> Application Data – Mapei Latex Plus with Keraquick S1 (at +23\u00b0C and 50% R.H.)\n
\n
\nMix Mapei Keraquick S1<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n
