Mapei Mapeband Easy Rubber Tape Sandwiched Between Two Layers of Non-Woven Fabric Waterproofing Systems 130CM (W) x 30M (L)

Description
• Mapeband Easy is made from a central core of vapor proof and waterproof elastic rubber sandwiched between two layers of alkali-resistant, non-woven polypropylene fabric.
• Mapeband Easy is elastic and deformable and has a series of holes along the edges to improving wetting with the waterproofing product applied.
• Mapeband Easy is used in combination with various waterproofing products, such as products from the
• Mapelastic range, Monolastic, Mapegum WPS, and products from the Aquaflex Roof range.

Features
• Highly elastic with elongation at failure of more than 300%.
• Easy to apply thanks also to the holes along the edges.
• Thanks to the seamless outer layers of non-woven fabric, joints between different pieces of tape may be formed directly with the chosen waterproofing product.
• Maybe coated with the chosen waterproofing product or with the adhesive used to the bond floor or wall coverings.
• Elasticity and Flexibility: Made of highly elastic rubber with non-woven fabric, allowing it to accommodate structural movements in joints without tearing or breaking.
• Waterproofing: Designed to waterproof critical points, including expansion joints, wall-floor junctions, and corners in wet environments, preventing water penetration effectively.
• Durability and Chemical Resistance: Resistant to chemicals, temperature changes, and various environmental factors, making it ideal for long-lasting waterproofing solutions.
• Compatibility with Mapei Products: Specifically compatible with Mapei waterproofing systems like Mapelastic, Mapelastic Smart, and AquaDefense, ensuring optimal adhesion and bonding with these products.
• Easy Application: Easy to handle, cut, and apply to different types of substrates, speeding up installation times and reducing labor costs.
• Vapor Barrier Properties: Acts as a vapor barrier, further protecting underlying structures from moisture and potential damage.
• Versatile Uses: Suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, swimming pools, balconies, and terraces, where waterproofing of joints and critical points is essential.
• High Tensile Strength: Ensures high tensile strength, meaning it won’t easily deform under stress, adding to its reliability in high-movement areas.

Some application examples
• Waterproofing Showers and Wet Rooms
   - Corners and Wall/Floor Junctions: Mapeband Easy is applied to corners and joints in bathrooms and wet rooms to prevent water seepage in areas prone to movement and stress. It reinforces the waterproofing membrane, enhancing durability and longevity.
   - Around Drains: It’s used around shower drains and other penetrations to ensure watertight seals in tricky areas, particularly where standard membranes might not adhere well.
• Tiling in Swimming Pools
   - Pool Edge and Expansion Joints: Mapeband Easy helps secure and waterproof expansion joints around the perimeter and edges of swimming pools, as well as around pool features like jets or lights. Its elasticity and durability make it suitable for use underwater.
   - Wall and Floor Junctions: In swimming pools, the tape provides a watertight barrier at wall and floor junctions, an area susceptible to leaks due to structural movement.
• Terraces, Balconies, and Outdoor Patios
   - Preventing Water Intrusion at Door Thresholds: When waterproofing outdoor spaces, Mapeband Easy can be used at door thresholds, providing a barrier against water intrusion and reinforcing weak points.
   - Protecting Expansion Joints: On terraces and balconies, Mapeband Easy is applied over expansion joints to provide elasticity and maintain a secure waterproof barrier even when exposed to temperature fluctuations.
• Basement Waterproofing
   - Sealing Horizontal and Vertical Joints: Mapeband Easy can be applied to waterproof horizontal and vertical joints in basements, reducing the risk of leaks through walls and floors, which is particularly important in areas with high groundwater pressure.
   - Around Pipe Penetrations: When pipes enter or exit through basement walls or floors, Mapeband Easy is used to seal around them and prevent water infiltration.
• Commercial Kitchens and Industrial Wet Areas
   - Reinforcing Waterproofing in High-Traffic Wet Areas: In commercial kitchens, food processing facilities, and similar wet areas, Mapeband Easy can reinforce waterproofing in areas subjected to heavy traffic, frequent cleaning, and exposure to various substances.
   - Around Floor Drains and Junctions: It’s useful for sealing around floor drains and at wall/floor junctions in kitchens, preventing water penetration in areas where spills and washdowns are common.

Recommendations
• To form a perfect seal in corners and around edges, use the special, pre-formed 90° and 270° pieces from the Mapeband Easy range.
• To form a perfect seal around pipework, use the special Mapeband Easy templates.
