OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS COMPLETE CARE
Mapei discusses how its UltraCare range delivers a comprehensive solution for cleaning, protecting and maintaining hard landscaping, helping external tiles and stone retain their appearance and performance in even the toughest conditions.
In all environments, a good protection and maintenance regime is essential, in order to retain a tile’s aesthetic and performance. Outdoors, this can be a particular challenge, especially with increasingly wet weather and the advent of heavily textured engineered tiles. Mapei UltraCare provides a solution, from installation to the protection and maintenance of all types of external surfaces in domestic and commercial settings. Many treatments now form part of Mapei’s Zero Line – with CO2 fully offset in the entire life cycle – and feature water-based formulations, for a safe and environmentally-friendly application.
MAINTENANCE MADE EASY WITH ULTRACARE
For everyday maintenance, UltraCare Multicleaner Zero is a versatile and highly concentrated pH-neutral solution. Used diluted 1:200, it is perfect for routine cleaning on external surfaces. It can also be used diluted 1:30 to tackle heavier organic dirt. The solution is formulated for all types of engineered and natural stone surfaces, including external porcelain, and is also available in a pump spray bottle for indoor tile care.
TACKLING RESIDUES, STAINS & DEPOSITS
Slippery algae and organic matter, greasy deposits, fixing residues and rust can be difficult to remove from tiles and stone, especially from acid-sensitive natural stone. The UltraCare range includes six products to tackle these issues, restoring appearance and performance:
UltraCare HD Cleaner Zero is a concentrated deep cleaner for porcelain and unpolished natural stone. It quickly removes organic dirt, grease and wax – as well as algae, blackspot, tree sap and stains caused by leaves – restoring a paver’s aesthetic, as well as slip-resistant properties.
UltraCare Grout Release provides benefits both before and after grouting. Applied before installation, it prevents grout ingress on porous stone and acts as a sacrificial sealer on porcelain. After installation, it makes the removal of grout easier from both natural stone and external porcelain.
UltraCare Acid Cleaner Zero and UltraCare Keranet Zero are formulated to remove cementitious residues and rust marks, as well as efflorescence and limescale from porcelain and acid- resistant natural stone. Pump spray-format – UltraCare Keranet Easy Zero – is particularly useful for removing cementitious grout residues during fixing; it can be used as soon as grout becomes opaque, significantly reducing the time to undertake a Builders Clean.
To tackle rust and oil-based stains, the range includes UltraCare Rust Remover and UltraCare Stain Remover Zero. UltraCare Rust Remover is a fast-acting, acid-free treatment designed to remove surface and deeply penetrated rust from all types of tile, including acid-sensitive stone. For organic grease and oil stains – including engine and hydraulic oil – UltraCare Stain Remover Zero quickly removes marks from porous surfaces. Both treatments have a thick paste-like consistency that allows targeted treatment and reduces waste.
PROTECTION - BEFORE & AFTER INSTALLATION
Alongside Mapei’s UltraCare cleaners, the range also includes a series of UltraCare protectors and intensifiers designed to meet specific requirements, from protection against grout ingress, to natural-effect and colour-enhanced protection after installation. All of the solutions are non-film forming, breathable and UV resistant.
