Mapei – LatexPlan Trade

Product Description

Mapei Latexplan Trade is a professional two-part levelling and smoothing compound designed for preparing new and existing subfloors prior to the installation of floor coverings.

Formulated from a 25kg cement-based powder and 5kg synthetic rubber latex liquid, Latexplan Trade provides high compressive strength while remaining protein-free and very low odour, making it particularly suitable for refurbishment work and use in occupied or confined areas.

It can be applied from 1mm to 10mm, although Mapei recommends a minimum application of 3mm for best results. Suitable substrates include concrete slabs, cementitious screeds, anhydrite, terrazzo, ceramic tiles, natural stone and magnesite. It can also be used over underfloor heating systems and in areas subject to castor-wheel traffic.

A major advantage of Latexplan Trade is its moisture tolerance. It is suitable for application beneath a damp-proof membrane where residual or static moisture is present, making it a particularly useful option when preparing damp subfloors before the installation of a surface DPM.

The mixed compound has approximately 20–30 minutes working time, takes light foot traffic after around 1½–2 hours, and is ready to receive bonded floor coverings after approximately 12 hours under normal conditions. One complete unit provides approximately 6m² coverage at 3mm thickness.

Its slower-hardening formulation also makes Latexplan Trade suitable for rubbing down, providing installers with a practical and versatile trade levelling compound for a wide variety of flooring preparation applications.
