Mapei Ultracare Keranet extended information
Consumption: Depending on the needs, it can vary based on dilution, the degree and type of dirt and the surface to be treated.
Mapei UltraCare Keranet is used for cleaning internal or external surfaces (including façades) that have been grouted using cementitious grouts and removes concrete stains, residues of installation and grouting operations, respecting the cement grout joint.
Mapei UltraCare Keranet is a liquid cleaner that can be diluted in water according to the amount of dirt and residue to be removed. Dilute 1:10 or 1:5 parts by weight, i.e. 1 part of Mapei UltraCare Keranet with 5-10 parts of water. It may also be used undiluted to remove engobbio from porcelain and ceramic material.
Mapei UltraCare Keranet is based on a special inorganic acid, with a buffered formulation, whose advantage is to have an aggressiveness towards stains and efflorescences equal to that of much stronger acids (muriatic/chloridian, sulfuric, etc.), without developing, like the latter, very dangerous toxic fumes. In any case, using the product in well-ventilated areas is recommended.
UltraCare Keranet, when properly used, does not damage the grout joint even when coloured grouts are used, but rather removes the efflorescence that can sometimes form on their surface.
Cautions
- Never use Mapei UltraCare Keranet on polished marble or calcareous stone in general, limestone-based materials or cementitious terrazzo tiles.
- Do not use UltraCare Keranet on ceramic tiles or enamelled baths with non-acid-resistant enamel.
- Use Mapei UltraCare Keranet with rubber gloves and glasses, paying attention to splashes on the skin or clothes.
- Make sure before use that the surfaces to be cleaned are acid-resistant. It is advisable, in doubtful cases, to carry out preliminary tests at different concentration rates.
- Do not leave UltraCare Keranet on grout joints too long and always rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any product residue that mav over time cause colour variations.
- Mapei UltraCare Keranet does not damage metal or galvanized surfaces: however, given the variety of materials available on the
market, a preliminary test at different concentrations is always recommended
Mapei UltraCare Keranet Application Method
Make sure before use that the surfaces to be cleaned are acid resistant. It is advisable, in doubtful cases, to carry out preliminary tests. Before cleaning with Mapei UltraCare Keranet protect everything that can be damaged by splashes. The surfaces to be cleaned, especially if very absorbent (Tuscan terracotta, porous ceramics, natural stone etc.) must be well moistened with water before treatment with Mapei UltraCare Keranet. Apply the product, diluted in water according to the level of residue on the surface (1:10 or 1:5) and the type of surface to be treated, working in manageable areas and leave to act for about 5 minutes. Then work over the surface with a single disc cleaning machine or an emulsifying pad. Remove the solution and then rinse with plenty of clean water. For heavy residues you may need to repeat the above procedure. Only use UltraCare Keranet on completely cured grout (from 1 to 10 days depending on the type of cement grouting used). In case you need to use a grout residue remover at the point of installation, then we advise that you use UltraCare Keranet Easy, which is suitable for excess grout removal from the surface, at the point of application. Please refer to the specific data sheet.
