Mapeproof FBT

MapeiUK 2023-08-01 | MAPEPROOF FBT is a #waterproofing system for #structures below ground level that fully-bonds to poured #concrete.

Mapeproof FBT forms an effective barrier against #groundwater, #moisture in the ground and #methane and also prevents lateral migration of water between the #foundation structure and the membrane.

Mapeproof FBT also forms a #protective barrier against #radon, a naturally-occurring invisible, odourless gas hazardous for people’s health, to prevent it penetrating into structures.

Mapeproof FBT is a waterproofing membrane consisting of a layer of #synthetic #FPO bonded to a #polypropylene non-woven fabric backing which, after concrete has been placed, adheres #monolithically to the concrete and remains bonded permanently over time.

The Mapeproof FBT system is completed by accessory items (such as strips) and Mapeproof SA self #adhesive membrane.

Using this system enables an effective, fully–bonded waterproofing membrane to be installed both before and after placing concrete for foundation structures.

The Mapeproof FBT System is highly versatile. It may be used to #waterproof any type of foundation and by any specialised waterproofing #contractor with experience of other types waterproofing systems for foundations.

Mapei and UCI - 30 Years

MapeiUK 2023-07-24 | For many years, the story of #Santini and #Mapei, two #Italian companies, has been intertwined with that of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). The former produces technical cycling clothing and has been a #UCI sponsor since 1988; the latter, a multinational leader in the field of chemical products for the #construction industry, came into the world of #cycling in 1993 as a sponsor of a UCI first division team.

A team destined to enjoy major success all over the world, wearing a uniform made by Santini. The bond between Santini, Mapei and UCI, a long-lasting relationship, is celebrated in 2023 with a cycling kit, in honour of Mapei’s 30th anniversary in this #sport.

Following the great success of the professional team, Mapei reaffirmed its commitment to cycling and since 2008 it is Main Sponsor of the UCI Road World Championships. This year Mapei is Official Partner of the UCI Cycling World Championships taking place in #Glasgow and across #Scotland. Mapei's support for the UCI stems from the values it holds in common with cycling: effort, talent, teamwork, enthusiasm, grit and perseverance in the face of new challenges.

To celebrate this partnership, Santini has created a cycling kit bearing the Mapei and UCI marks; more specifically, the iconic coloured cubes, a call-out to the construction world where Mapei is a major player.

The use of coloured cubes as a decorative motif on the team uniform, together with the spatula strokes, typical of Mapei products, was the idea of Adriana Spazzoli, Mapei #Marketing and #Communications Director until 2019, who perfectly understood the communicative potential of this #sponsorship. Thanks to the team's exceptional results, Mapei cubes soon became iconic, redefining the aesthetics of cycling clothing and contributing to the company's fame in #Italy and around the world.

This #design still stands out today as the main feature on the jersey and bib-shorts made by Santini. The slim fit jersey is made with extremely lightweight fabrics. On the back, the super breathable fabric features small channels for perspiration release. The sleeves, raw-cut in smooth fabric, adhere to the body without restricting movement, while the internal elastic on the bottom of the jersey keeps it in position at all times.

The bib-shorts, also with the same design dedicated to the UCI-Mapei 30th anniversary, are made in a fabric with compressive action. At the bottom of the leg, they have bands with internal grip to ensure the shorts always remain in perfect position. They are equipped with braces with stretch fabric on the front and extremely breathable mesh on the back.

Mapei UltraCare Smooth Silicone

MapeiUK 2023-07-17 | #Mapei #UltraCare Smooth Silicone is a smoothing product for finishing sealants during application. Its innovative formula is suitable for all types of #sealants (#acetic, #neutral, #polyurethane etc.).

It facilitates the finishing of the #sealant after its application and contributes in creating smooth, compact #surfaces without hollows that could ease dirt pick up and lead to future formation of moulds. When combined with specific sealants (such as Mapesil AC or Mapesil LM), the product enhances their mould resistance properties by granting a surface with no porosities.

It does not leave residues and can be applied on most of the surfaces commonly used in the #building industry (#ceramic #tiles, #stone, #glass #mosaic etc.).

Mapei set sail with Ambrogio Beccaria.

MapeiUK 2022-05-30 | Mapei is embarking on a brave new adventure alongside Ambrogio Beccaria: its first modern ocean sailing project in the name of technological innovation and sustainability. Ambrogio, an intrepid sailor of Milanese descent born in 1991 who is full of desire and determination to take on challenges, is the captain of this enterprise: an unprecedented journey aimed at testing human limits and taking the history of sailing to a new level. Mapei, with its vocation as a pioneering company, is ready to sail the ocean together with a top crew on board Alla Grande: a latest generation Class40 yacht.

Alla Grande opens up a new chapter in nautical design: the hull is designed by Gianluca Guelfi and is being built in a recently opened shipyard in Genoa, Sangiorgio Marine. The boat, equipped with a satellite link and extremely powerful sensors, is innovative both in terms of its technology and environmental impact. The design, the carefully crafted sails and hydrodynamic simulations have made this a revolutionary project from the very onset.

It is a so-called "scow" sailboat, i.e. with a very wide bow that rides above the water. The scow bow is inspired by the shape and design of surfboards so it can glide across the waves without crashing into them. Alla Grande is designed for the ocean: not only for handling the Atlantic trade winds, but also for finding the best passage across the waves of three oceans. The boat features some innovations particularly regarding the position of the mast (its longitudinal inclination at high speeds means it can perform better under greater control) and a cockpit with only 4 winches, 2 of which are central winches to facilitate faster manoeuvres. The rudders are also tilted and automatically disengage towards the stern during collisions with floating or semi-floating objects: unfortunately, this kind of thing happens quite frequently nowadays out in the ocean.
The energy on board is entirely generated by renewable sources such as solar energy and hydroelectric power. The solar panels, developed in collaboration with Solbian, are mounted on the deck and connected to the electrical system on board by means of MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracker) charge controllers that can optimize charging. The hydro-generator transforms the kinetic energy of the water into electrical energy through a small propeller immersed in the water by the boat’s stern. The energy generated is related to speed: the faster the boat, the more renewable energy it will generate.

As far as possible, Alla Grande will sail in an environmentally friendly way: water comes from a desalinator which, in turn, is powered by renewable energy. The use of single-use plastics will be kept to a minimum and any plastic items (only a few) are reusable.
