Features & Benefits

• The special composition of Planitop 200, mixed only with water, imparts high bonding strength, easy application with a flat trowel and easy finishing with a metal or sponge float
• Can be applied at a maximum thickness of 3 mm per coat
• For greater thickness but not more than 6 mm, two coats must be applied and a 4x4.5 mm MAPEI Mapenet 150 (alkali-resistant glass fibre mesh in compliance with ETAG 004) inserted between the first and second coat
• Mapenet 150 must also be used when the surface to be skimmed is made up of different types of material. In good weather, coloured finishing products from the Silexcolor, Silancolor, Quarzolite, Elastocolor, Colorite or Dursilite ranges may be applied one week after applying Planitop 200. The latter product may be used for decorating internal or external surfaces as long as they are partially covered and protected from direct exposure to the sun and rain
• Meets the main requirement of EN 1504-9 (“Products and systems for protecting and repairing concrete structures: definitions, requirements, quality control and conformity assessment. General principles for the use of products and systems”) and the minimum requirements of EN 1504-2 coating (C) according to principles MC and IR (“Concrete surface protection systems”) and is classified as GP (“General purpose mortar for internal/extarnal render”), category CS IV according to EN 998-1

Recommendations & Limitations

• Do not use Planitop 200 for greater thicknesses (>6 mm: use Mapegrout LM2K, Mapegrout 430 or Planitop Smooth & Repair)
• Do not apply Planitop 200 if the temperature is lower than 5°C
• Do not add cement or other aggregates to Planitop 200
• For the protection of hydraulic structures and surfaces subject to abrasion use Mapefinish or Mapefinish HD
• Before applying Planitop 200 make sure the substrate is sound and free from dust
• Do not use on very windy days and do not apply Planitop 200 when the surfaces are exposed to direct sunlight, because rapid drying may occur
• If applied in two successive coats, insert Mapenet 150 between the coats
• Apply a first protective primer coat (e.g. Primer G) over gypsum based plasters
• Do not apply products containing solvents on Planitop 200
• Do not apply on de-humidifying render (use a skimming mortar from the Mape-Antique range or a coloured finishing product from the Silexcolor or Silancolor ranges)
• No particular precautions need to be taken if the temperature is around +20°C. If the temperature is particularly high or low, or if there are strong breezes, follow the normal precautions for cementitious materials. To get the best finish and protection for the substrate, Mapei recommend using a coloured finishing product from the Silexcolor, Silancolor, Elastocolor, Quarzolite, Colorite or Dursilite ranges. The latter product may only be used for decorating internal or external surfaces if they are partially covered and protected.
