Mapei releases new decorative concrete topping

Mapei has combined products from its Tile & Stone Installation Systems category with a universal admixture from its Concrete Restoration Systems line to produce decorative concrete toppings with improved flexural strength and workability.

When the new Planicrete UA is mixed with Keracolor U or Ultracolor Plus grouts, which come in 36 colors, the resulting toppings open up a world of opportunities for concrete artisans. Keracolor U mixed with Planicrete UA produces an exceptionally smooth unsanded microtopping, while the addition of Ultracolor Plus to Planicrete UA creates a sanded microtopping for application on profiled or uneven substrates.

Besides 36 standard colors, pigment may be added to the gray or white versions of each grout to create a practically endless color palette. When it is sealed with Mapei’s Mapefinish Wet Look, the finished surface exhibits additional durability and ease of cleaning.

In addition to the colored grouts, Planicrete UA can be mixed with Mapei’s Concrete Renew concrete resurfacer to increase its bond, flexural and tensile strengths in addition to increasing durability and enhancing workability on exterior surfaces. These same advantages are gained when Planicrete UA is combined with a number of Mapei’s mortar mixes and patches, including Mapecem Quickpatch and 4 to 1 Mud Bed Mix.
