High performance, rapid setting, high strength two component flexible tile adhesive CLASSIFICATION IN COMPLIANCE WITH EN 12004 Granirapid is an improved (2) fast setting (F) cementitious (C) deformable (S1) adhesive classified as C2FS1. Granirapid is available in grey or white. Conformity of Granirapid Grey is declared in ITT Certificate no. 85330201.101 and no. 25070279/Gi issued by the Saurefliesner-Vereinigung e.V. Grossburgwedel laboratory. Conformity of Granirapid White is declared in ITT Certificate no. 250800600/Gi issued by TUM Munchen. WHERE TO USE For the installation of a wide range of tile and mosaic types including ceramic, encaustic, porcelain, natural and agglomerate stone, terrazzo, terracotta. Suitable for interior and exterior use on both walls and floors. For bonding heavy duty rubber flooring requiring installation with a cementitious adhesive e.g. those with a profiled back – stalk back or dove-tailed back. For use on the majority of conventional substrates used in construction such as concrete, screed (cement-based and anhydrite), plywood (min. 15 mm), cementitious render, plaster, plasterboard. Suitable for use with MAPEI waterproof membranes such as Mapelastic / Mapelastic Smart. Some application examples • deal for the installation of natural stone materials I where a rapid setting system is required. Suitable for granite, basalt, marble, limestone, travertine, slate and sandstone. • he special composition of Granirapid makes it T especially suitable for the installation of agglomerate or synthetic stone where a rapid drying low water system would be of benefit. • he high strength and durability of Granirapid T makes it ideally suited to the installation of tiles in heavy duty areas such as shopping centres, supermarkets, airports, railway stations, public buildings, car showrooms and workshops, commercial kitchens, factories, hospitals, schools and universities. • ltra rapid strength build-up; perfect for areas which U need to be put into service shortly after tiling. Also for areas requiring a quick, efficient repair. • eavy duty wet performance for commercial showers, H leisure centres, swimming pools, exterior walkways, terraces and balconies. • he excellent wetting properties of Granirapid make T the adhesive capable of installing larger format tiles e.g. 600 x 600 mm. ON • onded, unbonded, floating and heated screeds B provided that they are sufficiently cured. Includes screeds produced with Topcem, Topcem Pronto, Mapecem, Mapecem Pronto. • nderfloor and undertile heating systems. U • xisting tiled flooring (ceramic, natural stone, E terrazzo etc.) after suitable preparation, cleaning and degreasing. • lywood overlaid floors, provided that the plywood P is WBP or marine and at least 15 mm thick and screw fixed at maximum 300 mm centres.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Granirapid is a two-component adhesive composed of a special hydraulic binder and silica sand (part A) and a synthetic rubber latex (part B). Granirapid has particularly fast setting and hydration times so that floors are set to light foot traffic after 3 hours and completely cured after only 24 hours. Granirapid has very low shrinkage and excellent bonding characteristics making it suitable for most difficult substrates. Its mechanical properties make it resistant to impact, vibration, temperature changes, ageing and dilute chemical reagents. RECOMMENDATIONS Do...
