Description

Mapetex SEL is a non-woven, macro-holed polypropylene fabric for reinforcing Mapei waterproof membranes eg Mapelastic Smart, Mapelastic Turbo. Improves punch resistance, elongation and crack-bridging.

Mapetex Sel is made up of continuous, synthetic, polypropylene fibres joined together with a mechanical needle-punch procedure. It is particularly recommended for strengthening Mapelastic Turbo and Mapelastic Smart. Thanks to its special properties, the characteristics of Mapelastic Turbo and Mapelastic Smart such as toughness, punch-resistance, ultimate elongation and crack-bridging, are further improved.

Applications

• Large-scale containment basins.
• Retaining walls.
• Foundations.
• Hanging gardens.
• Flat roofs.
• Swimming pools.
• Bathrooms and shower booths cublicles/wet rooms.
• Terraces.

Uses

Reinforcement in macro-holed polypropylene fabric used together with Mapelastic Turbo and Mapelastic Smart, flexible cementitious membranes for waterproofing and protecting concrete surfaces, and concrete units particularly subject to large deformations and, therefore, at risk of cracking.

Benefits

• Remains unaltered and is resistant to alkalis contained in cement.
• Resistant to atmospheric agents.
• Dimensionally stable.
• Light and easy to handle.
• Easy to cut.
• May be adapted to the profile of all types of substrate.
