Yes, it can be used for sound reduction, crack isolation, waterproofing and vapor management. However, when using Mapesonic 2 for vapor management, do not use MAPEI SM Primer or MAPEI SM Primer Fast; instead, use MAPEI HM Primer.

Yes, with these limitations: Do not use on exterior floors with drainage of less than 1/4" per foot (6 mm per 30 cm). And do not use on shower floors or in submerged applications, or on floors subject to standing water.
Since the introduction of the BioBlock logo in 2003, MAPEI has continued to develop and expand the range and depth of products that include this technology. The list of MAPEI products that carry the BioBlock logo is evolving with the technology and is constantly growing.

Yes. In determining the quantities of mortar to order, it is important to know the added amount you will need for coverage with these membranes, and to make your calculations accordingly. Mapeheat™Membrane requires more mortar for coverage than Mapeguard® UM membrane, for example.
Products identified with MAPEI's BioBlock logo have been developed in such a way that they do not support mold/mildew/fungi growth after product installation as certified by external laboratories per industry standard ASTM G21: Standard Practice for Determining Resistance of Synthetic Polymeric Materials to Fungi. Common cleaning and maintenance practices are still needed.
