Description

A two-component, high-flexibility cementitious mortar (with crack-bridging capacity > 2 mm) applied by trowel or roller for waterproofing balconies, terraces, bathrooms and swimming pools

Uses

Mapelastic Smart is used for waterproofing hydraulic projects such as channels, faces of dams, swimming pools, basins, storage tanks, etc. and balconies and terraces. Particularly suitable for waterproofing irregular surfaces. Mapelastic Smart is also used to protect concrete structures, renders with hairline cracks and cementitious surfaces in general which, being subject to vibrations, may suffer from cracking.

Applications

• Waterproofing hydraulic channels, faces of dams and basins.
• Waterproofing bathrooms, showers, balconies, terraces, swimming pools etc. before laying ceramic tiles.
• Waterproofing plasterboard, render or cementitious surfaces, lightweight cement blocks and marine-grade plywood.
• Flexible protection layer of new concrete structures or repaired structures subject to minor deformation under load.
• Protection of cementitious renders or concrete with cracks due to shrinkage, minor movement caused by thermal gradients or dynamic stresses due to the passage of vehicles, against infiltration of water and aggressive elements from the atmosphere.
• Protection of concrete pillars and beams and road and railway viaducts repaired with products from the Mapegrout or Planitop ranges against the penetration of carbon dioxide.
• Protection of structures with an inadequate layer of concrete over the reinforcement rods against the penetration of aggressive elements.
• Protection of concrete surfaces which may come into contact with sea water, de-icing salts, such as sodium or calcium chloride, and sulphates.

Benefits

• High performance: a 2 mm thick film can cover cracks up to 2 mm wide.
• Excellent mechanical characteristics thanks to the use of Mapetex Sel reinforcement.
