Two-component, high performance, highlydeformable, quick-setting and drying cementitious adhesive with no vertical slip and extended open time for ceramic tiles and stone material CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO EN 12004 Elastorapid is a highly deformable (S2), improved (2), fast-setting (F) cementitious (C) adhesive, slip-resistant (T) and with extended open time (E), of class C2FTE S2. Elastorapid is CE approved, as declared in ITT certificate No. 25070277/Gi (TUM) and No. 25080024/Gi (TUM) issued by the Technische Universität München laboratory (Germany). 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, pedestrian areas), even during hot weather. Compared with other fast-setting adhesives, the longer pot-life of Elastorapid makes it more easy to apply even during hot weather. • Laying tiles on deformable substrates: marine plywood, wooden agglomerates (if sufficiently stable to water), old wooden floors, etc. • Quick laying or repair of tiled finishes in places such as swimming pools, refrigeration cells, industrial plants (breweries, wine cellars, dairies etc.). • Laying even 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-sized tiles on heated screeds or on top of existing floor coverings in ceramic, terrazzo, marble, etc. • Laying tiles on surfaces waterproofed with Mapelastic or Mapegum WPS. • Laying stone material which is sensitive to stains (White Carrara, etc.). TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Elastorapid is a two-component adhesive available in grey or white consisting of a special binder and selected silica sand (comp. A) and a synthetic latex rubber (comp. B). When the two components are mixed together, a mortar with the following characteristics is obtained: • low viscosity, therefore easy to apply;

• highly thixotropic: Elastorapid may be applied on vertical surfaces without sagging, and even large-sized, heavy tiles do not slip. Tiles may be laid starting from the top of the surface without using spacers; • the pot-life of the mix is particularly long compared with other fast-setting adhesives, making the laying operation easier even during the summer at high temperatures; • good capacity for accomodating deformation of the substrate and tiles (chipboard, marine plywood, concrete, etc.); • perfect bonding to all materials normally used in building; • thicknesses of up to 10 mm set without...

cementitious or epoxy grout, which is available in a variety of colours. Expansion joints must be sealed with a suitable MAPEI sealant. SET TO LIGHT FOOT TRAFFIC Floors are set to light foot traffic after 3-4 hours. READY FOR USE The surfaces are ready for use after approximately 24 hours. Basins and swimming pools can be filled after 3 days. Cleaning Tools may be cleaned with clean water before the adhesive sets. Once set, cleaning becomes very difficult, but the use of a solvent such as white spirits or a similar product usually helps. CONSUMPTION – Mosaics and small-sized tiles (trowel No....
