1.3 SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

All substrates must be structurally sound, dry, solid, and stable. Any laitance, dust, grease, oil, paint,
curing compounds rust or protruding mortar present on the surface of the metal, timber
concrete/masonry or bitumen substrate that may inhibit bond or interfere with the application of a
consistent film thickness, shall be mechanically removed. The substrate should then be cleaned and
prepared in accordance with the relevant standards and as per the MAPEI technical data sheets (TDS).
Suitable Substrates:
• Concrete & Cement Screed
• Timber, Plywood, Compressed sheet, Strand board, Cement board
• Metal with correct primer. See MBP(NZ) ltd for suitable primer selection.
• Bitumen
• For DAMP substrates – CONTACT: MBP(NZ) ltd for the correct solution.

 1.4 REPAIR MORTAR – IF REQUIRED

1. PLANITOP SMOOTH & REPAIR R4

Structural R4 class, rapid setting, shrinkage compensated, thixotropic, fiber reinforced,
cementitious mortar, applied in a single layer from 3 to 40 mm thick.
• APPLICATION:
 Mix and apply the mortar in accordance with the respective TDS.
 Once repair work is complete and the material has hardened (approx. 25 minutes),
keep the mortar damp for the first 24 hours using a water spray, especially in hot
and windy environments.

1.5 BONDED ENGINEERED SCREED – IF REQUIRED

• NOTE: Prior to the application of the primer and junction detailing ensure the substrate has
adequate falls in accordance with AS 4654.2. If not, install an engineered screed that
incorporates falls.

I. Bonded engineered screed to be chosen from the following options:

1. TOPCEM PRONTO
Ready-to-use normal setting, controlled-shrinkage mortar for quick-drying screeds (4 days).
Set for light foot traffic in 12 hours
2. MAPECEM PRONTO
Pre-blended, ready-to-use, quick-setting and drying (24 hours), controlled-shrinkage mortar for
screeds. Set for light foot traffic in 2-3 hours.

• APPLICATION:
 Prior to the application of the screed, ensure a slurry coat of PLANICRETE SP mixed
with either MAPECEM or TOPCEM PRONTO SLURRY has been applied
depending on which product is chosen. Then apply the screed over the slurry coat
whilst still fresh.
 Ensure a minimum thickness of 10 mm is applied.

1.6 JUNCTION DETAILING

• WHERE TO USE: Flexible sealant to be used at all junctions (wall-to-wall, wall-to-floor) and
other locations that may be subjected to movement with a gap no larger than 10mm.
1. MAPEFLEX PU 45 FT
One component, rapid hardening, paintable, thixotropic polyurethane sealant, and adhesive
with a high modulus of elasticity.
• APPLICATION:
 Open old joints and cracks with a grinder and remove loose and deteriorated
parts.
 Seal joints (non-structural movement joints) and cracks.
 Seal structural movement joints prior to applying MAPEBAND TPE or
• MAPEBAND FLEX ROLL.
 Detail wall/wall, wall/floor junctions and drainage outlets to avoid edges and
angles which could damage the membrane.

• APPLICATION:
 Mix part A thoroughly and then add the contents of part B and mix with a low- speed
drill until the mix is completely blended, in accordance with the TDS.
 Apply one coat at 0.3-0.7 kg/m2.
 Broadcast Quartz 0.5 into the fresh coat of PRIMER SN. Once cured remove all
loose sand and apply the waterproofing membrane within 12-24 hours after the
application of the primer.
