Mapei is taking part in the three main events of the sector in October: Saie, Asphaltica and Superfaces. These events dedicated to the world of construction, road paving technologies and hôtellerie, represent three unique opportunities for professionals to discover the latest innovations by Mapei.

MAPEI BUILDING SOLUTIONS AT SAIE 2024

At stand B37 hall 26 it is possible to discover the latest innovations and construction technologies developed by Mapei to help professionals meet every challenge in the world of construction and design.

The focus on sustainability is moving from individual products to complete solutions such as the range of fully CO2 - offset* products for the repairing and protecting reinforced concrete structures. In order to meet the needs of today’s installers, the formulation of Planitop Smooth & Repair Zero and Planitop Smooth & Repair R4 Zero, cementitious repair mortars, has been renewed to achieve a better consistency and ensure better adhesion during application and greater ease of application at high thickness.

Among the innovations in the field of structural strengthening, is the innovative CRM System - Mapenet EMR: a complete solution with low environmental impact  that guarantees high performance to masonry or concrete structures undergoing consolidation or structural strengthening works. The new Mapei fibre-reinforced products certified with CVT (Technical Evaluation Certificate) will also be on show.

The undisputed protagonist of the stand is Mapei PRO, the free digital platform available on the Mapei website, designed to support the work of designers at every stage. Mapei experts are available to accompany visitors to discover the tool and all its advantages and to offer a close look at two useful calculation softwares available on the platform. Mapeshield Software Design is the first free computer tool for sizing galvanic cathodic protection systems using internal and external anodes. Mapei Structural Design is the free and reliable tool for dimensioning strengthening systems on structural elements of existing buildings. A reliable working tool that allows users to obtain and download immediate results in compliance with the latest standards.
