Mapei Planicrete Synthetic Rubber Latex 25kg
Ultra-fast setting, thixotropic, cementitious levelling compound for horizontal and vertical surfaces, from 1 to 20 mm thick layer.
Where to Use
- As an admixture to improve the mechanical and adhesive characteristics of cement-based screeds, renders and thin smoothing layers.
- As an admixture for highly adhesive cement bonding slurries.
Some application examples
- High strength cement screeds for interior and exterior use.
- Cementitious bonding slurry for installing natural stone using the Mapestone system.
- High strength cement renders for interiors and exteriors.
- Cementitious bonding slurry to improve adhesion of conventional bonded screeds and screeds made from Mapecem Pronto or Topcem Pronto.
- Bonding slurry made from Mapecem or Topcem to improve adhesion of bonded screeds made from the same types of binder.
- Adhesive shotcretes for bonding renders.
- Cement mortars for filling holes, reconstructing damaged areas and finishing surfaces on buildings and precast concrete elements.
- Cementitious mortar for finishing off surfaces subjected to high levels of abrasion (industrial floors, ramps, channels) and for integrating small areas of worn floors.
Technical Characteristics
Planicrete is a highly stable water dispersion of a special synthetic elastomer resistant to alkaline saponification, characterised by its low glass transition temperature. This special SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) based elastomer also has a special property which makes it stable after ageing. The polymer chains forming this elastomer are characterised by a tight weave of chemical binders which connect them together. This important characteristic enables the polymer chains to take up a parallel conformation when they are deformed, thus giving the elastomer a high level of elasticity.
Planicrete is supplied in the form of a highly fluid, white coloured latex which, when added to cement and aggregate mixes, improves their adhesion, plasticity, thixotropy, water retention and overall workability. After setting and hardening, cementitious mixes with added Planicrete have the following properties:
- Better adhesion to substrates.
- Higher compressive and flexural strengths.
- Higher resistance to abrasion.
- Higher impermeability.
- Better resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.
- Better resistance to diluted acids, saline solutions and oils.

Delivery Information & Instructions
Delivery charges are included in the final shopping basket and apply to mainland UK, excluding the Islands, Scottish Highlands, and specific postcodes: IV, KW, HS, AB, PH19-48, DD, ZE. Additional charges may apply for these areas.
To ensure smooth deliveries, please provide detailed information about your site when placing your order. This will help us plan delivery routes effectively.
Key Points to Note:
- Road Access: Inform us of any restrictions (narrow roads, low bridges, weight limits) that might prevent a 26-tonne lorry from entering.
- Moffett Requirements: If a Moffett is needed for offloading, let us know in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements.
- Site Obstacles or Restrictions: Notify us of any on-site obstacles (height restrictions, overhead wires, tight turning spaces) to aid our drivers in planning their approach.
Delivery Time and Order Confirmation
At Insulation Point, we strive to keep you informed throughout the order and delivery process. Here's what you can expect:
- Order Confirmation: After placing an order, you'll receive a confirmation email with details of your purchase. Review this to ensure accuracy.
- Processing Time: Orders are processed within 1-2 working days, depending on product availability and other factors.
- Delivery Email: You'll receive an email confirming delivery detail within 1-2 working days after processing, including an estimated delivery date.
- Lead Time: Deliveries to mainland UK typically take 3-5 working days. Kingspan products may take 5-7 working days.
- Manufacturer Availability: Delivery schedules may vary. If changes or delays occur, we'll notify you via email or phone.
- Product Availability and Alternatives: If a product is unavailable, we'll inform you and suggest suitable alternatives.
- Delivery Time Window: Specific delivery times cannot be provided, but we'll aim to deliver on the scheduled date.
- Delivery Tracking: Tracking is not available, but you'll receive email updates on your order status.
- Failed Deliveries and Re-delivery Charges: Ensure someone is available to receive the delivery. Re-delivery charges may apply if delivery fails due to unavailability or inaccurate details.
- Booking Tradespersons/Builders: Schedule tradespersons/builders only after your items have arrived to avoid conflicts or charges.
- Email Communication: Check your junk/spam folders if you don't see our emails. Contact our team for any assistance.
