DESCRIPTION
Available as 32kg package (component A 24kg + component B 8kg)
WHERE TO USE
Rapid waterproofing of concrete structures, cementitious screeds, and old floor and wall coverings, including at low temperatures. Some application examples
▪ Waterproofing balconies, terraces, flat roofs, and swimming pools before bonding ceramic, mosaic, or natural stone floor and wall coverings.
▪ Waterproofing terraces and balconies by overlaying existing floor coverings before bonding new flooring.
ADVANTAGES
▪ Suitable for tiling after approx. 4 hours of application of the first coat, in normal weather conditions, and within 24 hours at temperatures down to +5°C.
▪ Suitable also for sublayers not completely dry but sufficiently cured.
▪ Rain-fast after just a few hours, including at low temperatures and in high levels of environment humidity.
▪ CE-marked product according to EN 14891 and EN 1504-2 standards.
▪ Resistant to UV rays
▪ Suitable also for overlaying existing ceramic, all types of mosaic and natural stone floor and wall coverings.
▪ The product is certified EC1 Plus by the GEV Institute (Gemeinschaft Emissions-kontrollierte Verlegewerkstoffe, e.V.) as a product with very low emission of volatile organic compounds.
RECOMMENDATIONS
▪ Do not use Mapelastic Turbo for thick layers (more than 2 mm per coat).
▪ Apply Mapelastic Turbo only if the temperature is above +5°C.
▪ Do not add cement, aggregates, or water to Mapelastic Turbo.
▪ Do not apply Mapelastic Turbo on lightweight substrates.
▪ In hot weather, avoid exposure of the material (powder and liquid) to the sun before use
▪ Do not apply Mapelastic Turbo on substrates that have not been cured as specified.
▪ Place the reinforcement on the first coat of product while it is still wet.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Mapelastic Turbo is a two-component, made of cementitious binders mortar, fine-grained selected aggregates, special admixtures and synthetic polymers in water dispersion. Mapelastic Turbo is the result of MAPEI’s research laboratories that have developed a special polymer with the capacity to accelerate the drying time of Mapelastic. This special formulation allows work to be carried out more quickly than with any other product at low temperatures and on substrates that are not completely dry. MAPELASTIC TURBO Two-component, rapid-drying elastic cementitious mortar for waterproofing terraces and balconies, including at low temperatures and on substrates not completely dry The Turbo version has the same resistance to chemical attacks from de-icing salts, sulphates, chlorides, and carbon dioxide that guarantees the durability of Mapelastic over the years. When the two components are mixed together, they form a mix with good workability. It is applied in two coats, with alkali-resistant reinforcement fabric or mesh embedded between the coats (such as Mapenet 150 or Mapetex Sel N), to form a total thickness of at least 2 mm. Mapelastic Turbo also has excellent adhesion to all concrete surfaces and cementitious screeds, as well as ceramics, mosaics, natural stone and terrazzo, as long as they are well bonded to the substrate and prepared as specified. The setting time of Mapelastic Turbo allows surfaces to be waterproofed and floor and wall coverings to be bonded within 24 hours when used in combination with a rapid adhesive from the MAPEI range, even if the environmental conditions are not ideal. Mapelastic Turbo complies with the principles defined in 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 of EN 1504-2 coating (C) according to principles PI, MC, and IR (“Surface protection systems for concrete”). Mapelastic Turbo meets the requirements of EN 14891 (“Liquid applied water impermeable products for use beneath ceramic tiling bonded with adhesives”).
