1 Two-component highperformance fast- setting and hydratingcementitious adhesivefor ceramic tiles andstone materialCLASSIFICATION IN COMPLIANCE WITH EN 12004 Granirapidis an improved (2) fast setting (F) cementitious (C) adhesive classified as IN COMPLIANCE WITH EN 12002 Granirapidis a deformable adhesive classified as CE marked, as declared in ITTcertificatesN (SFV)issued by the S urefliesner-Vereinigung Grossburgwedel laboratory (Germany)and N LR-01-011 (CSTB)issued by the CentreScientifique et Technique du B timent, Champs surMarne laboratory (France).WHERE TO USEFor bonding all kinds of interior and exterior ceramictiles; reconstructed, artificial and natural stones andmarble on walls or bonding rubber flooring for cement installations(stalk back or dove-tailed back) on all traditionalsubstrates in interiors, exteriors and in environmentssubject to heavy application examples ceramic and vitreous mosaics, single-fired anddouble-fired ceramic tiles, terra-cotta floor-tiles,klinker tiles, porcelain tiles, etc.

2 ; reconstructed or artificial stones, natural stone(marble, granite, etc.) which require adhesives withfast drying timeson bonded or unbonded cement screeds provided theyare sufficiently cured; underfloor heating installations; bonded or unbonded screeds in Mapecem, Mapecem Pronto, Topcemor Topcem Pronto; existing floors ( ceramic tiles, natural stone, terrazzotiles, etc.) after cleaning and of its extraordinary bonding and fast- settingcharacteristics, Granirapidis particularly suitable forrapid re-tiling jobs or flooring that has to be ready foruse within very short times (supermarkets, factories,hospitals, airports, etc.).TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICSG ranirapidis a Two-component adhesive composed ofa special white or grey binder and silica sand (part A)and a synthetic rubber latex (part B).

3 Granirapidhas particularly fast setting and hydrationtimes so that floors and walls are set to light traffic after3 hours and completely cured after only 24 very low shrinkage and excellentbonding characteristics which make it suitable for all ofthe most difficult substrates. Its mechanical propertiesmake it resistant to impact, vibration, temperaturechanges, ageing and dilute chemical not use Granirapid: on walls or floors subjected to intense movement(chipboard or wood agglomerates, asbestos cementboard, etc.); on metal surfaces; on artificial, reconstructed or natural marble subject toexceptional movement in the presence of damp, suchas green marble, certain sandstones and slates: [sche1] 113 Inglese (GRANIRAPID) ( - 3 Bozza/Ciano Digitale/Stampa)

5 It is absolutely essential that theyare treated with Primer Gor Mapeprim SP. In areas subject to extreme damp, prime thesubstrate with Primer the mixThe Granirapidmix is obtained by mixing 25 kg of part A grey or kg part A white( cementitious powder) with kg of part B(synthetic rubber latex).If possible, use a mechanical stirrer until asmooth mix is obtained. Always pour thepowder (part A) into the latex (part B).Pot life at +20 C is about 45 minutes, buthigher temperatures can reduce this the mixTo achieve a good adhesion, first spread athin coat of Granirapidonto the substrateusing the straight edge of the trowel followedimmediately with the correct thickness,depending on the type and size of the tile,using the most suitable notched trowel.

6 Thegeneral principle to follow when selecting theright trowel is to choose one that gives acoverage to at least 65-70% of the back ofthe tiles for internal walls and light trafficareas and 100% coverage for heavy trafficareas and all external mosaics up to 5x5 cm MAPEI trowel No. 4 or 5 is recommended (consumption kg/m2).For normal ceramic wall tiles MAPEI v. notched trowel No. 5 is recommended(consumption kg/m2).For floors and any uneven surfaces or tileswith highly profiled ribs or lugs or large-sizetiles MAPEI v. notched trowel No. 6 isrecommended (consumption 5-6 kg/m2).For floors and any very uneven surfaces ortiles with highly profiled ribs or lugs or large-size tiles MAPEI square-notched trowel No.

7 10 is recommended (consumption8 kg/m2), or a Kerafloortrowel (up to 1 cmthick).For particularly demanding applications suchas exteriors subject to freezing, basins orswimming pools, floors subject to heavyloads or floors to be polished in situ, dove-tailed tiles, or tiles with large stalks orlarge size tiles, Granirapidshould be appliedto the back of the tiles (back-buttering). Large size tiles include those over 900 cm2(30x30 cm).Installing the tilesOpen time in normal temperature andhumidity conditions is about 20 climatic conditions (strong sun,drying wind, high temperature, etc.) or ahighly absorbent substrate can reduce thistime to just a few checks have to be made to ensurethat a skin does not form on the surface ofthe spread adhesive , which should stay fresh.

8 Wetting the substrate before applyingthe adhesive helps to prolong open a skin form, the adhesive will have tobe freshened up by re-spreading with thenotched trowel. It is not advisable to wet theadhesive with water when a skin has formedbecause, instead of dissolving the skin, thewater will often form an anti- adhesive coverings laid with Granirapidmustnot be washed or exposed to rain for at least3-4 hours and must be protected from strongsun for at least 12 hours after the rubberThe installation of rubber with cementinstallations must be carried out by back-buttering. Butter with Granirapid, untilsaturated, the back of the slab and spreadGranirapidon the substrate with a No. 6trowel. Apply the slab wet on wet andlightly AND SEALINGJ oints can be grouted after 3 hours with thespecial MAPEI cementitious or epoxy grouts,available in various joints must be sealed with thespecial MAPEI can be polished after 24 TO LIGHT FOOT TRAFFICF loors are set to light foot traffic after 3-4 FOR USES urfaces are ready for use afterapproximately 24 and swimming pools can be filledafter 3 tools may be cleaned with plenty of waterbefore the adhesive sets.
