Mapelastic Smart Waterproofing Membrane
Description

Two-component, high-flexibility cementitious mortar, applied by brush or by roller, for waterproofing concrete surfaces such as balconies, terraces, basins and swimming pools, and for protection against the penetration of aggressive agents.

Key Features
  • A 2mm thick film can cover cracks up to 2mm wide.
  • Excellent mechanical characteristics thanks to the use of Mapetex Sel N reinforcement.
  • BRANZ Appraised
  • CE-marked product according to EN 1504-2 and EN 14891 standards.
  • Excellent elongation at failure (120%).
  • Fluid consistency for easy application.
  • Resistant to UV rays.
  • Can also be applied on existing coverings.
  • Compatible with ceramic, mosaic, and natural stone 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.
Scope of Use
  • Waterproofing hydraulic channels, dam faces, and basins.
  • Waterproofing bathrooms, showers, balconies, terraces, swimming pools, etc. before laying ceramic tiles.
  • Waterproofing of plasterboard, render or cementitious surfaces, lightweight cement blocks and marine
  • 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 temperature variations or dynamic stresses due to the passage of vehicles, against water ingress 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 structures with an inadequate concrete cover of the reinforcement rods against the penetration of aggressive elements.
  • Protecting concrete surfaces that come into contact with seawater, de-icing salts such as sodium chloride and calcium and sulphate salts.
Limitations on Use
  • Do not apply Mapelastic Smart if the temperature is lower than +8°C.
  • Do not add cement, aggregates, or water to Mapelastic Smart.
  • Protect from rain and accidental spillages of water for the first 24 hours after application.
  • Do not leave Mapelastic Smart exposed in swimming pools.
  • Do not apply Mapelastic Turbo on lightweight substrates.
  • Do not apply on cementitious substrates not sufficiently cured.
  • In hot weather, we recommend avoiding exposure of the material to the sun before use (powder and liquid).
  • In particularly dry, warm, or windy weather, protect the surface with sheets after applying the product to prevent rapid evaporation.
