Mapei Elastorapid A is part of a two-component, high-performance, highly-deformable, quick-setting and drying cementitious adhesive with no vertical slip and extended open time for ceramic tiles and stone material.

 

Where to use:

Bonding to internal and external walls and floors of all types and sizes of ceramic tiles (single-fired, double-fired, porcelain, clinker, terracotta, etc.), natural stone (marble, granite, etc.) and artificial materials which are slightly sensitive to humidity (class B MAPEI dimensional stability standard) which require the use of a fast-drying adhesive.

 

Some application examples:

Laying ceramic and stone floor coverings which are subject to intense traffic.

Quick repair operations where the floor needs to be put into service immediately (public buildings, motorway service areas, supermarkets, airports and pedestrian areas). Compared with other fast-setting adhesives, the longer pot-life of Elastorapid makes it easier to apply even during hot weather.

Laying tiles on deformable substrates: exterior grade plywood, minimum of P5 grade chipboard, old wooden floors, etc.

Quick laying or repair of tiled finishes in places such as swimming pools, refrigeration units, industrial plants (breweries, wine cellars, dairies etc.).

Laying large-sized ceramic and stone tiles on façades, balconies, terraces, and sun-roofs and patios which are subject to direct sunlight and thermal gradients.

Laying tiles in areas subject to high mechanical stresses and vibration (railway underpasses, underground railway platforms, etc.).

Laying tiles on concrete substrates and pre-cast walls.

Laying large-format tiles on heated screeds or on top of existing floor coverings in ceramic, terrazzo, marble, etc.

Laying tiles on surfaces waterproofed with Mapei waterproofing systems.

Laying stone material which is sensitive to stains (white Carrara, etc.).
