m e c o p m a L Ready-to-use shrinkage-free rapid setting and hardening hydraulic binder WHERE TO USE Fast fixing of every kind into vertical and horizontal substrates in concrete and masonry. Lampocem has a very fast setting time (about 3 minutes at +20°C) and, after curing, has the following property: Some application examples • inking and securing foundation bolts, pipeclips, S sanitary-ware, hinges. • aying sub-frames in wood and metal. L RECOMMENDATIONS • Do not use Lampocem for restoring deteriorated concrete structures (use Mapegrout Thixotropic or Mapegrout Fast-Set). • nstalling boxes and sheathes for electrical systems. I • inking and securing wooden plugs. S • ealing concrete conduits, drains, tanks, etc. S • topping small water leaks in underground structures, S cellars and lift wells. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Lampocem is a ready-to-use powder binder composed of high-strength cements and special admixtures in a formula developed in the MAPEI research laboratories. • very high mechanical strength after only few hours; • no loss in performance over a long period of time. • o not use Lampocem to anchor machines or bearing D structures (use Mapefill). • Do not use Lampocem for levelling, smoothing or repairing floors, walls or steps (use Nivorapid). • Do not apply Lampocem to dry or dirty surfaces. • Do not mix Lampocem with more water than prescribed and do not add more water to the mix when it has begun to set. • Do not add lime, cement or gypsum to Lampocem. Lampocem contains no chlorides. • Do not leave bags of Lampocem exposed to sunlight Mixed with water, Lampocem produces a paste with a plastic-thixotropic consistency which is easy to apply even on vertical surfaces, without any need for formwork. APPLICATION PROCEDURE Preparing the substrate The surface must be solid, strong and free from dust a

Cavities formed for fixing must be roughened and thoroughly soaked with water. This operation must be carried out very carefully, especially if the substrate is highly absorbent (mixed masonry, brickwork) and if it is exposed to hot sun. • o fill large cavities on vertical surfaces, T apply several layers at approx. five minute intervals. • n very warm or windy days, after applying O Lampocem, keep surface damp for the first hour of curing to obtain perfect setting. Preparing the mix While stirring, pour 1 kg of Lampocem into a container holding 200-210 g of water (20-21% of water to 1 kg...
