Keraquick Easy S1 – Rapid-Set Flexible Tile Adhesive (20kg)

Keraquick Easy S1 by Mapei is a high-performance, rapid-set, flexible tile adhesive designed for professional installations where speed, strength, and versatility are essential. Suitable for both interior and exterior applications, it allows floor tiles to be grouted in as little as 2 hours and supports full service use within 24 hours, making it ideal for high-traffic commercial and domestic environments.

Key Benefits:

Rapid Setting: Ready for light foot traffic in just 2–3 hours; full service use after 24 hours
Flexible Performance: S1 classification ensures superior deformation for challenging substrates
Strong Bonding: Excellent wetting properties for secure adhesion on a variety of surfaces
Versatile: Suitable for ceramic, porcelain, mosaics, and moisture-stable natural stone
Extended Working Conditions: Effective even in low temperatures (down to +5°C) – ideal for colder months
High Initial Grab: Ideal for large format tiles and vertical surfaces

Recommended Uses:

Fast-track renovations in commercial environments: supermarkets, airports, showrooms, public buildings
Bathrooms, kitchens, conservatories, and wet areas including swimming pools and showers
Balconies, terraces, and external areas—even in autumn and winter conditions
Tiling over heated screeds, undertile heating cables, or plywood floors
Installing large format or non-absorbent floor tiles over existing surfaces
Refurbishment of heavily trafficked zones and industrial plants (e.g. dairies, breweries)

Compatible Substrates:

Cement-based and calcium sulphate screeds (appropriately prepared)
Concrete
Plywood (min. 15mm thick, screw-fixed)
Tilebacker boards
Existing unglazed ceramic floor tiles

Application Instructions:

1. Surface Preparation:
Ensure substrate is dry, stable, and free from contaminants like oil, paint, or old adhesive. Mechanically abrade power-floated concrete. Prime absorbent substrates with Eco Prim T Plus (1:2 diluted) or Primer G (neat).
2. Mixing:
Add 4.2–4.6L of clean water per 20kg bag. Stir mechanically to form a lump-free paste. Let stand for 2 minutes, then stir briefly again. Use within 30 minutes.
3. Application:
Apply with a notched trowel (max. 10mm bed). Use the flat edge to skim the surface first for maximum contact. For large format tiles or exterior installations, back-butter tiles for full coverage.
4. Tile Installation:
Do not pre-soak tiles. Avoid using adhesive that has skinned over. Apply only as much adhesive as can be tiled within the 15–20 minute open time (may reduce in hot, dry, or windy conditions).
5. Grouting & Jointing:
Tiles can be grouted after 2 hours using a suitable MAPEI cementitious or epoxy grout. Use Mapesil AC or LM for movement joints.

Limitations (Do Not Use On):

Metal, rubber, cork, PVC or linoleum
Insulation panels with vapour barriers
Glass or agglomerate tiles and mosaics

Shelf life: 12 months (store in a dry, elevated position in original packaging)
