Mapei Latexplan Trade Two-Part Smoothing Levelling Compound extended information
Coverage: 6m2 at 3mm thickness
WHERE TO USE MAPEI LATEXPLAN TRADE
Mapei Latexplan Trade is used for levelling and smoothing differences in thickness of 1 to 10 mm (in one application) on new and existing substrates to prepare them for any type of flooring installation.
Latexplan Trade is suitable for areas with wheelchair traffic.
Typical applications
Smoothing concrete floors, cement based screeds, Mapecem and Topcem screeds.
Smoothing existing flooring in concrete, terrazzo, ceramic tile, natural stone, steel and polyurethane.
MAPEI LATEXPLAN TRADE TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Mapei Latexplan Trade is a two-part smoothing compound that consists of a grey powder (part A) containing special cements, graded silica sands and additives to be mixed with a synthetic rubber latex (part B).
Mapei Latexplan Trade can be walked on after approximately 11⁄2-2 hours and is ready for installing flooring after about 12 hours, depending on the thickness and the ambient temperature.
Mapei Latexplan Trade has a very low odour making it suitable for use in confined and inhabited areas, where working and/or occupation must be maintained.
Suitable for use under Mapeproof ESM surface membrane where residual or static moisture is present.
For the best results Mapei Latexplan Trade should be mixed without extra latex or water being added.
Preparation
The subfloor must be clean, structurally sound,
free from grease, oil, paint and plaster residues, surface laitance and contamination, including surface hardeners and additives that may compromise the bond.
Priming
On highly porous and absorbent surfaces, a coat of primer prior to the application will prevent pinholes / air bubbles within the surface, providing a smooth even finish.
Eco Prim T Acrylic primer may be used on all absorbent and non-absorbent substrates. On difficult and non-absorbent surfaces the use of Eco Prim Grip primer will ensure perfect bonding.
Mixing
Mix 25 kg of Latexplan Trade part A powder into 5 litres of Latexplan Trade part B liquid.
The Mapei Latexplan Trade part B liquid container should be shaken, poured into a clean mixing container and the Mapei Latexplan Trade part A powder added gradually whilst continually stirring with a mixing paddle and slow speed drill. The mixed mortar has a working time of approx. 20-30 minutes at +23oC.
Do not add more latex or water to the mix once it has begun to set.
Mapei Latexplan Trade Application
The mixed material is poured onto the prepared subfloor and spread with a smooth edged trowel to the required thickness in one operation. Alternatively the use of a spiked roller will ensure a smooth even finish that will not require any further attention prior to the floorcovering being installed.
The correct mix permits any application from featheredge to 10 mm, although for the best results a minimum 3 mm application is recommended.
(Apply at a minimum floor temperature above +5oC.)
Drying
At normal temperatures Mapei Latexplan Trade will take light foot traffic after 11⁄2 to 2 hours, and accept bonded floorcoverings after 12 hours.
A room temperature of 13-18oC should be maintained with a subfloor temperature of at least +5oC (a passage of air will considerably assist the drying times).
Cleaning Equipment
All tools and mixing containers should be washed and cleaned immediately after use before the material hardens.
Storage
Mapei Latexplan Trade has a storage life of approximately 12 months in dry conditions. Mapei Latexplan Trade complies with the conditions of Regulation (EC) N° 1907/2006 (REACH), Annex XVII, item 47.
