Mapei’s Keraquick adhesives range

Mapei’s Keraquick range features three versatile and quick-setting adhesives, offering solutions to wall and flooring installation projects with ceramic tiles, natural stone materials, mosaics and porcelain.

Fast-track ready Keraquick S1 is the ideal adhesive for bonding to cement-based and calcium sulphate-based screeds, concrete, plywood overlay, existing unglazed ceramic floor tiles, cement-based renders, gypsum plaster, plasterboard and tile backer boards. Keraquick S1 develops high bond strength between two to three hours after mixing, and is suitable for interior and exterior use in heavily trafficked areas that need to be quickly back in service such as supermarkets, showrooms, airports, motorways services and other public buildings. Non-slip and deformable, it is also ideal for rapid installation or renovation of swimming pools, bathrooms, showers, kitchens, as well as industrial plants and refrigeration units.

This versatile adhesive will allow tiled floors to be subjected to light foot traffic after just two hours, and full service conditions after 24 hours. For heavy duty floor areas, a minimum of seven days should be allowed for the adhesive to cure.

Proving to be just as adaptable, Keraquick Ultrafast S1 is the ultimate rapid-setting cement based adhesive also for interior and exterior use when installing porcelain, ceramic or dark coloured non-moisture sensitive natural stone materials to floors and walls. This improved formula is composed of a mixture of special cements, selectively graded aggregates, synthetic resins and setting accelerators that develop a high bond strength after just 60 minutes for an ultra-rapid installation.

Completing the range is Keraquick XL Fibrelite, a fibre-reinforced, high yield, cement based adhesive best for fixing larger tiles up to 1500 x 1500mm. For use in large commercial environments, it is for interior and exterior bonding of ceramic and porcelain tiles, as well as marble and natural stone materials that are not sensitive to moisture. Due to this, Keraquick XL Fibrelite can be applied over wet and electrical flooring heating systems to provide extra comfort for your flooring projects.

All adhesives in the Keraquick range are both frost and water resistant, making them ideal adhesives for projects this winter!
