Mapei Mapeguard UM35 Uncoupling and Waterproofing Membrane
Waterproofing, uncoupling and anti-fracture membrane for cracked and damp substrates and substrates that are not fully cured before installing ceramic and stone tiles for internal and external surfaces without having to copy the layout of distribution joints in the substrate.
Mapeguard UM 35 is the ideal solution to solve issues related to difficult substrates, while granting a successful installation of ceramics and stone material.
Advantages of the system
Crack control
It acts as an uncoupling element, preventing the transmission of substrate cracks to the flooring.
Waterproofing properties
It protects substrates from infiltrations of water, increasing their durability.
Vapour control
Thanks to the air channels on the back of Mapeguard UM 35, the moisture in the underlying layers can evaporate.
Mechanical properties
Mapeguard UM 35 allows the distribution of stresses also on floorings subject to heavy loads; it is certified as Extra Heavy Commercial Rating according to TCNA test reports complying with ASTM C 627.
Even heat distribution
When applied on heated screeds or compact heated screeds, Mapeguard UM 35 guarantees that heat is distributed more evenly.
Transparency
It is semi-transparent and this allows to verify the correct distribution of the adhesive underneath, as well as to easily locate the presence of potential elements passing through surfaces.
Improved adhesion
The special shape of the embosses offers a perfect mechanical bonding of the adhesive in order to obtain a high adhesion between the ceramic or stone covering and Mapeguard UM 35.
