Mapecrete System is a proven technology by MAPEI for producing shrinkage compensated concrete, where a high degree of dimensional stability is required to prevent shrinkage cracks in structures.

Mapecrete System is based on the principle that shrinkage may be restrained by a structural reinforcement system. MAPEI has a complete range of products able to control the chemical and physical processes within concrete over time. By selecting the right quantity of suitable admixtures, the amount of shrinkage in concrete may be calculated and, therefore, controlled.

Mapecrete System is applied by combining a blend of three different admixtures within the concrete: A mid-range water reducer specifically developed for slabs, a shrinkage-compensating agent and a shrinkage-reducing agent. The effect of this system is guaranteed by the synergistic effect of the three products combined with the use of a synthetic fiber.
