Keralastic T Mapei Ceramic Adhesive Keralastic T

Keralastic T is a solvent- and water-free, elastic and waterproof two-component adhesive, consisting of a polyurethane base (component A) and a special hardener (component B).

Keralastic T is a solvent- and water-free, elastic and waterproof two-component adhesive, consisting of a polyurethane base (component A) and a special hardener (component B).

CARACTERISTICS

CARACTERISTICS

By mixing the two components together, a paste with the following characteristics is obtained:

Component A.

• Easy workability
• Optimal durability and resistance to aging.
• Perfect adhesion on all substrates used in construction
• Perfect adhesion on all substrates used in construction.
• Hardens by chemical reaction without shrinkage, to the point of assuming a remarkable resistance
• High elasticity
• In the case of Keralastic T high thixotropy: it can be applied vertically without casting and without letting tiles also of large weight and format sag. The resistance to vertical slip is in accordance with EN 1308

RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendations

.

• Do not place on very damp surfaces or where there is a fear of rising damp due to capillarity
• Do not place on very damp surfaces or where there is a fear of rising damp due to capillarity.
• The containers are pre-dosed to avoid mixing errors. Do not try to use portions of product by mixing the two components by eye: a wrong mixing ratio affects the hardening capacity.
• Use the products at temperatures between +10º C and +30º C.
• In the case of using the products on surfaces exposed to continuous immersion in water, consult MAPEI Technical Service.

APPLICATION FIELDS
