PRODUCT OVERVIEW

MAPEI LATEX PLUS

Description

Product Overview

Mapei Latex Plus is a water-based polymer admixture formulated to enhance the performance of selected cementitious adhesives and smoothing compounds. When used in place of water, it significantly improves flexibility, adhesion, and overall durability of the system without altering workability.

The product is designed to be used with Mapei systems such as Keraquick S1, Nivorapid, and Planipatch, allowing the creation of highly deformable adhesives and levelling compounds suitable for demanding applications. It is particularly suited to installations over difficult or flexible substrates, including timber, existing tiles, and heated screeds.

Key Features

  • Latex admixture to improve flexibility and adhesion
  • Enhances deformability to meet S2 classification (EN 12004)
  • Improves bonding strength and durability
  • Suitable for use with adhesives and levelling compounds
  • Low viscosity for easy mixing and application
  • Water-based formulation
  • Suitable for internal and external applications (system dependent)
  • Improves performance on difficult substrates

Applications

  • Mixing with Keraquick S1 to create highly deformable tile adhesive
  • Use with Nivorapid for fast-setting levelling compounds
  • Use with Planipatch for patching and smoothing applications
  • Installation of ceramic tiles and natural stone
  • Applications over deformable or flexible substrates
  • Use in areas subject to movement, vibration, or thermal variation

Notes

  • Use in place of water when mixing compatible Mapei products
  • Follow specific mix ratios for each system (product dependent)
  • Typical pot life when mixed: approx. 30 minutes
  • Light foot traffic achievable in approx. 2–3 hours (system dependent)
  • Do not dilute beyond manufacturer recommendations
  • Do not apply below +5°C or above +30°C
  • Ensure correct product pairing for intended application
