All of our multipurpose, bitumen-based, sheet membranes have been certified by SCS Indoor Advantage™ Gold for low volatile emissions (VOCs). This means that they have been vetted by an ISO-accredited, third-party certification body and tested by an industry-independent laboratory.
Further, all of these membranes are thin and low-profile, making them perfect for use in both new construction and in remodeling projects, even over challenging substrates. They all feature varying levels of protection, including:

Mapeguard CI is a flexible, thin (1/16" or 1.5 mm) membrane providing crack isolation for tile installations.
Mapesonic 2 is an all-in-one membrane, providing crack isolation, sound reduction, vapor management and waterproofing in a 76-mil, fabric-reinforced, load-bearing membrane.
Mapeguard 2 is a 3-in-1 membrane for crack isolation, waterproofing and vapor control. It contains 5% post-consumer recycled material.
Mapesound 90* is a flexible, thin, 90-mil (2.3-mm) lightweight, load-bearing, fabric-reinforced “peel-and-stick” sound-reduction and crack-isolation membrane.
Mapetape BB is a butyl-based, waterproofing sealing tape for use with MAPEI peel-and-stick, crack-isolation membranes (Mapeguard 2, Mapesonic 2, Mapesound 90 and Mapeguard CI).
MAPEI HM Primer is a ready-to-use, low-VOC, water-based, quick-drying, high-tack membrane primer. It is specifically formulated to promote maximum adhesion of MAPEI peel-and-stick sheet membranes to high-moisture substrates.
MAPEI SM Primer is a ready-to-use, fast-drying, water-based, latex primer for use under MAPEI’s peel-and-stick sheet membranes on residential and commercial indoor or outdoor floors.
MAPEI SM Primer Fast is a ready-to-use, fast-drying, quick-tacking, water-based, pressure-sensitive, nonhydrolyzable latex primer for use under MAPEI’s peel-and-stick sheet membranes on residential and commercial indoor or outdoor floors.
“Mapeguard 2 is a 3-in-1, flexible, 40-mil-thin, load-bearing membrane for crack isolation and sound reduction. And, it can now be used for waterproofing with the addition of our Mapetape BB, a butyl-based sealing tape that has been designed for use with our bitumen-based membranes,” explained Sonya Moste, MAPEI’s Product Manager of Crack-Isolation, Sound-Reduction and Floor-Heating Membranes. When used with the MAPEI primer of choice (MAPEI HM Primer, MAPEI SM Primer or MAPEI SM Primer Fast), the sheet membranes become part of a system solution.
