Mapei has announced the launch of its Keraquick Ultrafast S1 adhesive, a cement-based ultra-rapid setting adhesives for fast track repairs.

Keraquick Ultrafast S1 sets to foot traffic in 60 minutes and is ready for grouting in 90 minutes. Suitable for interior and exterior use installing porcelain and ceramic tiles and mosaics.

The fast track product can be used for both renovation and new build installation projects in bathrooms, kitchens, terraces and balconies as well as areas subject to pedestrian traffic.

Jason Brunt, Ceramic Product Manager at Mapei UK commented “If you are a quick, well organized tiler this product is ideal for those smaller bathroom floor installations. Areas where this product comes in to its own is when fixtures and fitting need to be reinstalled, where rapid repairs are needed or when installing the last row of tiles quickly will finish the job.”

Available in grey, fast setting Keraquick Ultrafast S1 is a very low VOC adhesive. Suitable for installation over wet and electrical underfloor heating systems.

Keraquick Ultrafast S1 can be used as part of Mapei waterproofing systems in conjunction with Mapegum WPS, Mapelastic AquaDefense or Mapeguard WP 200.

After 90 minutes the tiles can be grouted using Mapei’s Keracolor, Keracolor Flex, Ultracolor Plus or Kerapoxy grout ranges.
