Interior finishes: Mapei’s living well-being

Second Generation Pack

The packaging front represents the most transversal innovation: Mapei has completely renewed the pack of eight products. The new packages are in fact second generation , obtained from post-consumer recycled materials and in particular made with regenerated plastics and certified by third parties.

The novelty also concerns the reformulation of the format: starting from this season the water-based paints and wall enamels Mapei, based on resins synthetic in aqueous dispersion and selected fillers, are available in 14 l and 4 l packs; An additional 1 l option was also added, useful for creating color proofs at affordable costs or for creating color projects even for limited surfaces, without waste .

The yield in square meters is indicated on each package, with the aim of facilitating the choice of the appropriate package for the needs of those who buy.

Two new specialized water-based paints

The second innovation derives from the commitment of the company's Research Laboratories, which led Mapei to introduce two new specialized water-based paints to the range.

The first, Dursilite Igea, is designed for humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens; the second, Dursilite Gypsos, was designed to be applied to plasterboard walls and dry systems. Both are formulated with BioBlock technology developed by Mapei to counteract the formation of mold on walls.

To complete the novelties, there is the new matt version of the stain-free wall enamel Mapecoat Act, which joins the already existing satin finish.

Thanks to the ColorMap® tinting system, it is possible to reproduce the Mapei color collections and formulate customized colors.

Healthiness: the well-being of man and the Planet

With particular attention paid to those who choose the company's water-based paints, Mapei is committed every day to improving and evolving its references with a view to optimizing living well-being.

Mapei's very low VOC emissions guarantee compliance with indoor air quality values, corresponding to the ecological classification A +: fundamental for respecting those who apply the paint, and those who live in the spaces in which has been used.

In the formulation of all products, it was decided not to use components that are hazardous to the environment and human health while maintaining high performance, despite increasingly stringent legislation.

The health of the person and the well-being of the planet are two guiding values ​​for Mapei: every choice made in the company, from the use of recycled plastic for the new packaging to the 'introduction of the new formats, represent a concrete commitment to contribute to a circular approach.

Thanks to this approach, all products comply with the minimum environmental criteria CAM, according to the recent upcoming update and can contribute to credits for buildings designed according to the LEED environmental protocol.
