Mud Bed and Repair Toppings

Mapecem®
Fast-Setting Binder for Jobsite Concrete Mix
An exceptional resin-based hydraulic binder containing distinctive chemical ingredients that, when mixed proportionately with graded aggregates and water, hardens completely within the first 24 hours following the installation regardless of the thickness of the screed, promoting a shrinkage-free finished concrete topping with high mechanical strength even in the most unfavorable conditions. When Mapecem is properly used, the residual moisture content after 24 hours is less than 2.5%. Mapecem is used like any ordinary Portland cement mixed in a normal fashion with sand and aggregates properly graded and sized in relation to the desired thickness of the finished topping.

Mapecem® Premix
Fast-Setting Pre-Blended Concrete Mix
Fast-setting, premixed, polymer-modified, hydraulic cement-based mortar for concrete repairs and sub-floor preparation work. Mixed exclusively with water, Mapecem Premix provides an easy to use, high compressive strength, fast-setting mortar that sets completely without shrinkage cracks within 24 hours. When Mapecem is properly used, even in the worst conditions, its moisture emission is less than 3 lbs./1000 sq. ft./24 hrs. (1,36 kg/92,9 m2/24 hrs.), when measured with the calcium chloride test kit, allowing the floor covering (vinyl, wood, rubber, linoleum, carpet, etc.) to be installed after 24 hours. Ceramic tile and natural stone flooring can be installed after only 3 to 4 hours.

Mapelath™
Substrate Correction System
A lightweight grid lathe system used in preparation of substrates. Mapelath is stapled to the substrate, then prepared with Mapecem® Premix, Ultracontact™ or Ultracontact RS as the final surface to receive tile & natural stone, sheet vinyl, carpet, hardwood or engineered floor systems. Mapelath is a thin application system that will substantially increase floor rigidity without compromising the overall finished height of the floor. In addition, the floor surface can be screeded to meet stringent tolerances of today’s floors. Mapelath is non-corroding and alkaline-resistant.
