MAPEI UK has extended its Zero Line with the addition of six bestselling resilient products, five of which are manufactured in the UK. The new series provides a full Zero resilient range – featuring established, core products – now with CO2 fully offset in the entire lifecycle, says the company.
‘Each product also benefits from a very low VOC EMICODE: EC1 Plus certified formulation, providing a safe, high-performance solution for contractors and specifiers. A further new preparation product – Ultraplan Eco 3215 – will join the Zero Line in the spring. The Zero resilient range includes an all-in-one adhesive, a fibre-reinforced formulation, a universal acrylic primer, a carpet tile tackifier, an ultra-fast hardening self-levelling compound and a fast-track patching compound, each developed to provide a safe and sustainable low-odour solution.’
Continues the company: ‘Universal adhesive, Ultrabond Eco V4 Evolution Zero is a ready-to-use and easy to apply adhesive, with a strong rapid initial tack and a long open time. It can be used with PVC, LVT and rubber flooring, as well as textile floor and wall coverings. It’s also suitable in wet lay or pressure sensitive applications and for use with underfloor heating.
‘Specifically developed for LVT floors, the second adhesive – Ultrabond Eco 4 LVT Zero – is a fibre-reinforced, high temperature adhesive that guarantees exceptional performance in terms of adhesion and dimensional stability. Product features include easy application, with low to no waiting time, excellent initial grab and peel strength and high sheer resistance.’
Adds the company: ‘The third product – Ultrabond Eco Tack TX+ Zero – is a solvent-free and non-staining carpet tile tackifier. The fast-track acrylic adhesive creates a permanently tacky film, allowing for the easy removal and replacement of carpet tiles. It can also be used to prevent looselay LVT, textile flooring and carpet underlay from slipping.
‘Two floor preparation products also join the range: Eco Prim T Plus Zero – a fast-track universal acrylic resin-based primer developed to improve the adhesion of levelling compounds on all absorbent and non-absorbent substrates, and Ultraplan Eco 3215 Zero – an ultra-fast hardening, water-mixed, self-smoothing compound.
Fine-grained, ultra-fast drying cementitious patching compound – Planipatch Xtra Zero – completes the series and is used for local repairs and skim coating down to a ‘feather-edge’.’
Continues Mapei: ‘Each of the Ultrabond products are also certified to Blauer Engle DE-UZ113 and M1 Emission Class, and the adhesives are castor compliant in accordance with EN 12529.
‘The Zero Line series demonstrates Mapei’s commitment to the planet, to people and to biodiversity. CO2 emissions measured throughout the lifecycle of products from the Zero line in 2026 using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, verified and certified with EPDs, have been offset through the acquisition of certified carbon credits in support of forestry protection projects.
‘The Zero Line currently includes products from Mapei’s ceramic and stone materials, cleaning, maintenance and protection, mortars and masonry restoration, waterproofing and coatings lines.’
