TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Mapelastic AquaDefense is a solvent-free, ready to-use ultra-quick drying, one-component light blue synthetic resin based paste in water dispersion. Mapelastic AquaDefense is easy to apply using a long-haired roller, brush or trowel on horizontal, sloping and vertical surfaces. Mapelastic AquaDefense dries very quickly to form
a flexible membrane without a tacky surface. It is resistant to light pedestrian traffic after just 3 hours and forms an excellent grip with all types of adhesives for
laying ceramic, stone material and mosaic of all kinds. The flexible nature of Mapelastic AquaDefense helps it withstand normal movements caused by expansion and shrinkage of the substrate due to temperature variations and vibration.Tiles installed on Mapelastic AquaDefense by using C2F-class MAPEI adhesives (such as Keraquick Maxi S1 or Granirapid.) and grouted with Ultracolor Plus may be opened to pedestrian traffic within 12 hours of starting the work
