Question 1

What is Mapei Ultralite S1 15Kg and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

Mapei Ultralite S1 is a lightweight cementitious powder designed for walls. It is suitable for thin plaster applications and ideal for tiling and stone cladding, with ultra-low acoustical performance.

Question 2

What makes Ultralite S1 lightweight and how does that help with tiling and cladding?

Accepted Answer

Its low-density formula enables thinner application layers, reducing weight on substrates, improving ease of use, and supporting faster drying and better adhesion.

Question 3

What are the main performance features of Ultralite S1?

Accepted Answer

Key features include ultra-low acoustical performance, very water-resistant properties, fire- and damp-resistance, thermal insulation benefits, and a low carbon footprint.

Question 4

Which substrates can Ultralite S1 be applied to?

Accepted Answer

It is intended for walls and thin plaster applications and can be used for tiling and stone cladding on prepared substrates such as clean, sound, and dust-free surfaces. Always prep the substrate per product guidelines.

Question 5

How do you mix Ultralite S1?

Accepted Answer

Mix the powder with clean water to a smooth, lump-free consistency according to the bag instructions. Use a clean mixing vessel, avoid over-mixing, allow brief resting, and then re-mix to desired workability within the product's pot-life guidelines.

Question 6

How is Ultralite S1 applied and what thickness should be used?

Accepted Answer

Apply in thin coats as required for plastering or tiling substrates. Follow product guidelines for any priming or setting intervals between coats, and protect the material from rapid drying until it has set.

Question 7

What safety precautions should I take when handling Ultralite S1?

Accepted Answer

Wear a dust mask, safety glasses, and gloves when handling the powder. Avoid breathing dust, keep the bag sealed when not in use, and store in a dry, ventilated area.
