Description:

Waterproofing, uncoupling and anti-fracture membrane for cracked and damp substrates and substrates that are not fully cured before installing ceramic and stone tiles

Technical Characteristics :

Mapeguard UM 35 is a membrane made from a layer of honeycomb HDPE with a rough surface and polypropylene fabric backing. These characteristics improve the bond strength of adhesive applied on both sides of Mapeguard UM 35.

Advantages :

Crack control
Mapeguard UM 35 allows the control of cracks in the substrate, acting as an anti-fracture membrane and as
an uncoupling element that prevents transmission of substrate cracks to the flooring.

Waterproofing properties
Completely waterproof with the capacity to protect substrates from infiltrations of water and increase their
durability.
May be used on internal and external surfaces in combination with Mapeband Easy for sealing joints between
the sheets and waterproofing critical areas (edges, cornes, etc).

Vapour control
Thanks to the air channels on the back of the membrane, the moisture in the underlying layers can evaporate;
Mapeguard UM 35 is thus suitable for use on damp substrates and/or on substrates that are not fully cured,
including in external surroundings.

Mechanical strength
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 and is
suitable for use in residential and commercial surroundings.

Even heat distribution
Mapeguard UM 35 guarantees that heat is distributed more evenly when applied on heated floors, including
compact heated floors.

Transparency
Mapeguard UM 35 is semitransparent 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 (such as
drains), thus making the cutting of the membrane easier.

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.
