Mapecrete Stain Protection is a one-component product in water dispersion made from micro-emulsions specially formulated according to a recipe developed in the MAPEI R&D laboratories to be efficient against problems with stains on floors.

Through the polymeric chains which penetrate into the porosity and hook into the substrate, and by collecting at the surface to repel watery and oily substances, Mapecrete Stain Protection is highly efficient on concrete and cementitious substrates against staining generated by liquid substances often used in environments with foodstuffs, such as oil, grease, coffee, soft drinks and water-based substances in general.

Mapecrete Stain Protection has good penetration properties, including on substrates with low porosity, without altering their appearance. The special formulation of the product allows an excellent absorption into the treated substrate without forming a film on the surface. Mapecrete Stain Protection has also an efficient anti-dust effect and makes maintenance operations on the floor simpler.

Features & Benefits

• Uses:
  • Protecting rough or polished concrete surfaces
  • Protecting concrete industrial floors in shopping centres, discount food stores and goods warehouses, particularly those for storing food
  • Protecting concrete industrial floors in supermarkets
  • Protecting polished industrial floors, including those in “terrazzo” made with natural or artificial aggregates
• Excellent anti-stain effect against various liquid and oily substances
• Efficient against stains caused by capillary rising damp
• Reduces water absorption
• Good penetration capacity, including in cracks in concrete
• Does not alter the appearance of surfaces
• Treated surfaces are easier to clean
• Reduces the cost of maintenance of the floors
• Watery solution, easy to apply (contains no solvent)
• Stable against UV rays, may be used in external environments
• Compatible with the environment

Application

• Concrete surfaces must be sound, perfectly clean, dry and free of all traces of dust, grease and form release agents. Make sure that new concrete surfaces are well cured
• Apply Mapecrete Stain Protection directly on the surface with an airless spray gun or by brush
• The drying time of the product depends on the porosity of the substrate on which it is applied (generally from 2 to 4 hours according to the surrounding temperature and the level of humidity). The full efficiency of Mapecrete Stain Protection is reached approximately 24 hours after application
• Tools used to prepare and apply Mapecrete Stain Protection must be cleaned immediately after use with water. Once hardened, the product may only be removed using mechanical means
• Coverage 0.1-0.3 kg/m² according to the level of porosity of the concrete
  
  

Limitations

• Do not apply Mapecrete Stain Protection on dusty, crumbling or flimsy substrates
• Do not apply Mapecrete Stain Protection on surfaces soaked with oil, fluids or grease
• Do not apply Mapecrete Stain Protection on concrete substrates which have not been sufficiently cured
• Before applying Mapecrete Stain Protection, make sure the surface is evenly dry and that there is no stagnant water or puddles
