COVERAGE
Mapesil AC:
Coverage of Mapesil AC varies depending
on the width of the joints. Some examples of
coverage for end joints and triangular joints are
shown in the chart.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS
• Do not use Mapesil AC for joints in exterior
between ceramic tiles and light-coloured
natural stone because dirt could accumulate
by the joints. Use Mapesil LM.
• For sealing surfaces sensitive to acids such
as lime stone, use a neutral silicone sealant
(e.g. Mapesil LM).
• The use of Mapesil AC is not recommended
on highly plasticised material or on bituminous
surfaces because of the release of substances
that reduce bonding and penetrate into the
sealant, altering the colour and resistance.
• The resistance of Mapesil AC to chemical
agents is generally excellent; however, due
to the numerous products and working
conditions to which Mapesil AC can be
applied, it is always advisable to do a sample
test in cases of doubt.
• Do not use Mapesil AC to seal aquariums.
• For sealing floor joints subject to heavy traffic,
use a polyurethane (e.g. Mapeflex PU 45 FT)
or epoxy-polyurethane (e.g. Mapeflex PU20)
sealant.

classification of mixtures. During use, wear
protective gloves and goggles and take the
usual precautions for handling chemicals.
For further and complete information about the
safe use of our product please refer to the latest
version of our Material Safety Data Sheet.
To control the depth of the joint and to prevent
Mapesil AC from adhering to the base, the
bottom of the joint should be filled with a sized
Mapefoam, a polyethylene cord.
Application of Primer FD
Where the use of Primer FD is necessary, it
must be applied with a small brush onto the
appropriate areas of the joints and left to dry
for several minutes to allow the solvent to
evaporate. Then apply Mapesil AC.
Application of Mapesil AC
Mapesil AC is packed in cartridges of 310 ml;
to use, cut the cartridge above the end of the
thread and screw on the nozzle, which should be
cut at 45° to produce a hole corresponding to the
size of the joint. Insert the cartridge into the gun
and extrude the sealant
