Mapei Mapelastic Smart Waterproofing Membrane

Description

Mapei Mapelastic Smart Waterproofing Membrane
– 20kg Powder and 10kg Liquid

 

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.

 

Application Examples

• Waterproofing hydraulic channels, concrete water tanks, faces of dams
  and basins, including those containing potable water.
• 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 concrete surfaces which may come into contact with sea
  water, de-icing salts, such as sodium or calcium chloride, and sulphates.

  waterproofing membrane tested by CSIRO.
• Low VOC content of 0 g/L.
• Product certified EC1 Plus by the GEV Institute (Gemeinschaft
  Emissions-kontrollierte).

 

Technical Characteristics

• Mapelastic Smart is a two-component mortar based on cementitious
  binders, fine-grained selected aggregates, special admixtures and synthetic
  polymers in water dispersion, blended according to a formula developed in MAPEI’s
  own research laboratories.
• When the two components are mixed, a blend with a plastic consistency
  is obtained. It may be applied by brush, by roller or by spraying with a worm screw
  rendering machine on both horizontal and vertical surfaces at a thickness of
  approximately 2 mm.
• Due to the content and high quality of the synthetic resins, the
  hardened layer of Mapelastic Smart remains constantly flexible under all
  environmental conditions.
• Mapelastic Smart is waterproof and resistant to the penetration of
  aggressive substances which are present in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide,
  sulphur dioxide and sulphuric anhydride, and soluble salts such as chlorides and
  sulphates, which are present in seawater or in the ground.
• Mapelastic Smart has excellent bonding properties on all cementitious,
  ceramic and marble surfaces as long as they are sound, sufficiently clean and
  properly prepared.
• These properties, together with its resistance to the deteriorating
  effect of UV rays, a characteristic of this product, ensure that structures
  protected and waterproofed with Mapelastic Smart have a long service life, even if
  they are located in areas with particularly rigid climatic conditions, in coastal
  areas with a saline-rich atmosphere or in industrial areas where the air is
  particularly polluted.

 

Recommendations

• Do not apply Mapelastic Smart at temperatures lower than +8°C.
• Do not add cement, aggregates or water to Mapelastic Smart.
• Protect from rain and water spillages for the first 24 hours after
  application.
• Do not leave Mapelastic Smart exposed in swimming pools.
• Do not apply on cementitious substrates not sufficiently cured.
• During hot weather, it is advisable to keep the product out of direct
  sunlight before use (power and liquid).

Precautions

• No special precautions need to be taken when the temperature is around
  +20°C.
• During hot weather, it is advisable to keep the product out of direct
  sunlight before use (powder and liquid).
• After application, and in particularly dry, hot or windy weather, we
  recommend that the surface is protected from rapid evaporation with sheets.

 

Cleaning

• Due to the high bonding strength of Mapelastic Smart, even on metals,
  we recommend that work tools are washed with water before the mortar sets.
• Once it has set, cleaning may only be carried out by mechanical means.

 

Consumption

Application by trowel or roller:

• Approx. 1.6 kg/m² per mm of thickness.

Spray gun application:

• Approx. 2.2 kg/m² per mm of thickness.

N.B.: the consumption figures indicated are for a seamless film on a flat surface
and are higher if applied on uneven substrates.

 

Packaging

• Units of 30 kg: component A: 20 kg bags; component B: 10 kg drums.
• (Yield 18.75 Litres / 30 kg kit)

 

Storage

• Mapelastic Smart component A may be stored for up to 12 months when
  contained in its original sealed packaging in a dry place.
• Mapelastic Smart component B may be stored for up to 24 months.
  Store Mapelastic Smart in a dry place and at a temperature of at least +5°C.
