Description
Mapei Mapenet 150 Reinforced strengthening for:
- Mapelastic, Mapelastic Smart, Mapelastic Turbo or Monolastic used for waterproofing terraces, balconies, swimming pools, baths, shower cubicles, etc. with ceramic tile or stone finishes;
- Protective, flexible smoothing layers of Mapelastic, Mapelastic Smart, Mapelastic Turbo or Monolastic applied on internal and external cementitious substrates with micro cracks;
- Products of the Plastimul range when applied on substrates with micro cracks;
- Cementitious skim coats in general.
The mesh is made from glass fibres treated with a special primer which makes it resistant to alkalis according to the requirements of the EAD specification 040016-00-0404 (that replaced ETAG 004 from October the 28, 2020).
Once the waterproofing layer where it is installed has hardened, Mapenet 150 reinforces the layer to protect against the formation of cracks due to movement in the substrate or the tiled surface.
It also makes it easier to apply an even layer of the chosen product and improves the system’s resistance to temperature variations and abrasion.
Mapei Mapenet 150 must be completely embedded in the layer to be reinforced. Apply the mesh as follows:
- Apply an even layer of the product;
- While the product is still fresh, lay the Mapenet 150 mesh on the surface and press it gently with the trowel so that it is embedded in the layer;
- Wait for the layer to dry and, if required, apply a second layer of the product.
- Overlap each piece of Mapenet 150 by at least 5 cm.
