Mapelastic Guard

Two-component, flexible cementitious mortar for protecting large concrete structures subjected to high stress.

Available in a 32kg unit.

Technical Description

Mapelastic Guard is a two-component, flexible, light grey mortar made from cementitious binders, fine-grained selected aggregates, special additives and synthetic polymers in water dispersion according to a formula developed in the MAPEI
Research & Development Laboratories.

When the two components are mixed together, a free-flowing mix is obtained which may be applied at thicknesses up to 2 mm, including on vertical surfaces. Due to its high content of quality synthetic resins, the hardened layer of Mapelastic

Guard maintains its flexibility under all environmental conditions, and is totally impermeable to water at pressures up to 1.5 atmospheres and the penetration of de-icing salts, sulphates, chlorides and carbon dioxide.

Mapelastic Guard also has excellent adhesion on all concrete surfaces, providing they are sound and sufficiently clean.

These properties, together with its excellent resistance to U.V. rays, ensures that structures protected with Mapelastic

Guard are durable, even when located in areas with particular climatic conditions, in coastal areas with a saline-rich atmosphere or in industrial areas where the air is highly polluted.

Mapelastic Guard complies with the principles defined in EN 1504-9 (“Products and systems for protecting and repairing concrete structures: definitions, requirements, quality control and conformity assessment. General principles for the use
of products and systems”) and the minimum requirements of EN 1504-2 coating (C) according to principles PI, MC and IR (“Concrete surface protection systems”).
