Mapelastic is a two-component mortar based on cementitious binders, fine-grained selected aggregates,
special admixtures and synthetic polymers dispersed in water, blended according to a formula developed in
MAPEI’s own research laboratories. When the two components are mixed together, a free-flowing mix is
obtained which may be easily applied, even on vertical surfaces, at a thickness of up to 2 mm in one single
coat.
Due to the high content and quality of the synthetic resins, the cured layer of Mapelastic remains constantly
flexible under all environmental conditions and resistant to the chemical attack of de-icing salts, sulphates,
chlorides and carbon dioxide.
Mapelastic has excellent bonding properties to all concrete, masonry, ceramic and marble surfaces, as long as
they are sound and sufficiently clean.
This property, together with its resistance to the deteriorating effect of UV rays, a characteristic of this product,
ensures that structures protected and waterproofed with Mapelastic have a long service life, even if they are
located in areas with particularly difficult climatic conditions, in coastal areas with a saline rich atmosphere or
industrial areas where the air is particularly polluted.
Mapelastic meets the requirements defined by EN 1504-9 (“Products and systems for the protection and
repair of concrete structures - Definitions, requirements, quality control and evaluation of conformity -
General principles for the use of products and systems”) and the requirements claimed by EN 1504-2 coating
(C) according to the PI, MC and IR principles (“Protection systems for concrete surfaces”).
