Mapei Mapefer 1K Zero is a single-component corrosion-inhibiting cement mortar for the protection of reinforcing rods and adhesion improver for concrete repair mortars.

Best Uses

Mapefer 1K Zero is a one-component mortar prepared according to a formula developed in the MAPEI Research & Development laboratories based on polymers in powderform, cementitious binders and corrosion inhibitors to be applied on reinforcing rods to prevent rust formation. Mixed with water, Mapefer 1K Zero becomes an highly workable mortar that is easy to apply. After hardening, Mapefer 1K Zero is resistant to saline fog according to EN 15183 and impermeable to water and aggressive gases in the atmosphere.

• Mapei Mapefer 1K is suitable for use on underground concrete
• Corrosion-inhibiting cement mortar
• Suitable for protection of reinforcing rods in the repair of concrete
• Suitable for underground constructions

The corrosion-inhibiting action of Mapefer 1K Zero is provided through the following principal factors:

• High alkalinity
• Excellent adhesion to metal
• Presence of corrosion-inhibitors

Mapefer 1K Zero is a product with very low emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC), which safeguards the health and safety of installers and final users. It is certified as EC1 Plus by the German association GEV. Mapefer 1K Zero helps earn important LEED credits.

Mapei Mapefer 1K is suitable for use on underground concrete constructions for the protection of reinforcing rods and as an adhesion improver for concrete repair mortars. Also ideal for the re-alkalising corrosion-inhibiting protection for reinforcing rods in the repair of concrete carried out with shrinkage-compensated mortars from the Mapegrout range or with standard cement mortars modified with synthetic based latex. It can also be used for underground concrete construction.
