MAPEI offers more than 5,500 products for the construction industry, in a wide
range of system solutions. This system approach is important to MAPEI. All our
products are systematically adapted to each other and based on a large number
of proven components. This, along with our product knowledge and professional
expertise that we share with planners and builders, provides real added value.

Founded in Milan in 1937, MAPEI is today a global leader in the production

of adhesives, sealants and chemical products for the construction industry.
The quality of our products is based on more than 80 years of experience and
continuous product innovation. At Mapei, we have a strong focus on customer
proximity, the local market and the short transport distances. Today, the MAPEI
Group has 81 subsidiaries with 83 factories. Each of our factories has its own
quality-assurance laboratory. The Group has a presence in 36 countries, on five
continents.

MAPEI has been a leading Norwegian supplier of adhesives, sealants and other
chemical products for the construction industry in the Nordic countries since 1976,
when the Norwegian company Rescon was established. In 1999/2000, Rescon
went international when the company became part of the international group
MAPEI S.p.A. Our plant in Nord-Odal, Norway, remains the cornerstone of the
Nordic market, and is also home to one of the Mapei Group’s international R&D
centres.

The MAPEI Group invests more than 5 per cent of its annual turnover in R&D.
Of this, 70 per cent goes to the development of environmentally friendly and
sustainable products that meet or surpass internationally recognised certification
standards. More than 12 per cent of the employees at MAPEI are involved in R&D
and work every day to make MAPEI products even better. The results are tested
in practice and used to create user-oriented solutions in line with state-of-the-art
R&D technology. With system solutions from Mapei, you can be sure that all

CONSTRUCTION
When building a swimming pool, it is important to
ensure that it is watertight, and you must be able to
guarantee that the surface will remain intact for a long
time. With a new swimming pool, you can achieve this
by using waterproof concrete (compliant with EN 206-1),
which is characterised by having a low w/c ratio (w/c <
0.50) and low shrinkage potential.

MAPEI offers a variety of admixtures in the DYNAMON

range to allow you to make precisely this kind of
concrete, i.e. with an extremely low water/cement ratio
and excellent workability.

Joints in the construction between the foundation and

the wall are often a potential source of water leakages.
Perfect sealing in these areas can easily be achieved
with IDROSTOP, a hydrophilic, water-absorbent rubber
profile with 120 per cent expansion. In addition to the
above, you need at least seven days of proper moisture
curing to obtain a watertight swimming pool.

oughly moistened. There must be no residue of
water on the surface. It can be useful to use a
high-pressure washer to remove mortar residue.

• Pre-wet the surface. It can be useful to use a
high-pressure washer to remove mortar residue at
the same time.
• Pre-treat rebar with REDISIT.
• Brush MAPEPOXY L, or alternatively REDISIT, into
the substrate.
• Apply CONFIX W/PP FIBRE to the bonding agent
using the wet-on-wet technique. Alternatively, use
REDIREP 45 RSF when casting up to 50 mm.
6 Re-casting of penetrations in case of retrofitting
• Mount the new part in place.
• Mount the formwork against the inside of the pool.
• Brush MAPEPOXY L bonding agent onto concrete
and metal surfaces.
• Cast with expanding mortar: NONSET 120 or
NONSET 400.

LSI INDEX
The LSI index (Langelier Saturation Index) provides infor-
mation about the water quality, and we therefore recom-
mend that you check the LSI index before the work is
started. Aggressive chemicals such as calcium solving
CO2, ammonium, magnesium, chlorine and sulphates,
combined with acidic water (low pH), may require
resistant products. The hardness, alkalinity and calcium
concentration of the water must be taken into consid-
eration when selecting materials such as membranes,
adhesives and sealants.

The Building Ceramics Association (BKF) and SINTEF,

among many others, have issued good instructions on
water quality and material selection in connection with
aggressive chemicals in pools.

LAYING CERAMIC TILES AND NATURAL STONE

PROPERTIES
The tile adhesive you choose is determined by your
requirements for curing and drying times, deformability
and adhesion. Classification according to EN 12004
applies to cementitious adhesives (C, C1 = standard,
C2 = improved), vertical slip-resistance (T), fast-curing (F)
and extended open time (E).

Classification according to EN 12002 applies to deform-

ability (S1 = deformable 2.5–5 mm; S2 = deformable
> 5 mm). Adhesives not classified as S1 or S2 are consid-
ered “non-deformable”. Note that different tiles make
different demands on the properties of the adhesive.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
PRE-TREATMENT
• The membrane must be fully cured.

LAYING TILES
• Mix the selected adhesive according to the instruc-
tions on the packaging.
• Apply the adhesive to the substrate with a smoothing
trowel or a notched trowel.
• Create grooves with a notched trowel.
• Lay the tiles with a twisting motion to achieve full
coverage underneath.
• Check regularly that full adhesive coverage is
achieved.
• If full adhesive coverage cannot be achieved, you
must apply double adhesive layer, i.e. apply an addi-
tional layer of adhesive to the back of the tile before
laying.

GROUTING CERAMIC TILES AND NATURAL STONE

APPLICATIONS
Indoor and outdoor grouting of ceramic tile and natural
stone in swimming pools, cisterns, water tanks, spas and
changing rooms.

PROPERTIES
The choice of grout depends on requirements for curing
and drying times, the type of tiles chosen and the choice
of pool. For classifications according to EN 13888, CG
applies to cementitious grouts and RG to reaction resin
grouts. 1 = standard, 2 = improved, W = reduced water
absorption, AR = high abrasion resistance).
Please note that different tiles and different water quality
and LSI indices set different requirements for the grout.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
PRE-TREATMENT
• The substrate must be firm, clean and with no
impurities.
• Any membrane must be fully cured.
• The adhesive must be fully cured.

GROUTING
• Mix the selected grout according to the instructions on
the packaging.
• Apply the grout diagonally in the space between the
tiles.
• Make sure the gap is completely filled.
• Remove excess grout from the tiles.
• When the surface is dry, wash away the excess with
water.
• Wipe the surface with clean water.

When using salt water or heated water (> 30 °C)

KERAPOXY CQ/KERAPOXY DESIGN must be used.

FLEXIBLE JOINTS
Use flexible joints in pools as needed for angles and
corners. Before applying the sealant, ceramic tiles must
be pre-treated with PRIMER FD. For flexible joints, use
MAPESIL AC acetic silicone sealant.
For flexible joints in walkways and other surfaces
around the pool, use MAPESIL AC or MAPEFLEX MS45.
Flexible joints in zones particularly exposed to chlorin-
ated pool water should be grouted with MAPESIL AC.
Pre-treat non-absorbent substrates with PRIMER FD.

The choice of adhesive also affects the waiting time
