Planitop 100

WHERE TO USE

For repairing and finishing of porous or chipped cement-based surfaces. Some application examples ▪ Evening out surface imperfections in prefabricated concrete, such as interlocking panels, beams and pillars. ▪ Finishing of cement renders or lime and cement mortar before painting with Elastocolor range of products. ▪ Small repairs to precast concrete sections damaged while being moved. ▪ Rapid finishing of concrete facings repaired with products of the Mapegrout range.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Planitop 100 is a one-component mortar based on special cement binders, selected fine grain aggregates, additives and polymers manufactured according to a formula developed in the MAPEI research laboratories. When mixed with water, Planitop 100 produces a runny mortar that is easily applied even vertically up to 3 mm thick per coat. Because of its high synthetic resin content, Planitop 100 has excellent adhesion to all cement-based surfaces and forms a compact and mechanically strong layer after hardening (1 to 1.5 hours at +20°C). Planitop 100 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 minimum requirements claimed by EN 1504-2 coating (C) (“Surface protection systems for concrete”) according to MC and IR principles. When thickness over 3 mm is required and in any case for localised applications up to 30 mm, 30% of aggregates with a maximum grain size of 2 mm may be added. N.B. Planitop 100 has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in a dry place. With time, however, setting may be slower, but Planitop 100’s final mechanical characteristics will remain unchanged.

RECOMMENDATIONS

▪ Do not use Planitop 100 to repair large surfaces. Use products from the Mapegrout range.

▪ Do not add lime, cement or gypsum to the mix.

▪ Do not add water to a mix that has already begun to set.

▪ Do not use at temperatures below +5°C.
