WHERE TO USE

•Corrosion-inhibiting protection of concrete reinforcing rods

•Adhesion improver for concrete repair mortars.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Mapefer 1K Zero is a one-component mortar prepared according to a formula developed in the MAPEI Research & Development laboratories based on polymers in powderform, cementitious binders and corrosion inhibitors to be applied on reinforcing rods to prevent rust formation.

Mixed with water, Mapefer 1K Zero becomes an highly workable mortar that is easy to apply.

After hardening, Mapefer 1K Zero is resistant to saline fog according to EN 15183 and impermeable to water and aggressive gases in the atmosphere.

The corrosion-inhibiting action of Mapefer 1K Zero is provided through the following principal factors:

•high alkalinity;

•excellent adhesion to metal;

•presence of corrosion-inhibitors.

Mapefer 1K Zero is a product with very low emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC), which safeguards the health and safety of installers and final users. It is certified as EC1 Plus by the German association GEV.

Mapefer 1K Zero helps earn important LEED credits.

Mapefer 1K Zero meets the requirements defined by EN 1504-9 (“Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures: definitions, requirements, quality control and evaluation of conformity - General principles for the use of products and systems”) and the minimum requirements claimed by EN 1504-7 (“Reinforcement corrosion protection”).
