How much you need.
The arithmetic uses Mapei's published consumption for Kerapoxy and the pack sizes we stock. Set your own wastage allowance.

The figures behind it.
- When Kerapoxy is used as an adhesive, consumption is 2-4 kg/m².
Mapei's formula for Kerapoxy: (A + B) / (A x B) x C x D x 1.6 = kg/m², with A and B the tile length and width, C the tile thickness and D the joint width, all in mm.
Consumption on site depends on the substrate, the tool and the applicator, which is why wastage is yours to set. The result is a quantity to plan and quote with, not a guarantee of coverage. Confirm the system against the current Mapei technical data sheet before ordering.
Application
Where it is used.
In Mapei's own words, from the technical data sheet.
- 01Indoor and outdoor grouting of ceramic tile and natural stone floors and walls
- 02Grouting floors and walls in the food industry (dairies, abattoirs, breweries, wine cellars, conserved-food plants, etc.), shops and areas where hygiene is required (ice-cream shops, butchers, fish vendors, etc.)
- 03Grouting industrial floors and walls (electrical industries, tanneries, battery rooms, paper mills, etc.), where high mechanical resistance and resistance to acid attack is required
- 04Grouting swimming pools; particularly suitable for basins containing salt or thermal water
- 05Grouting tanks containing aggressive chemicals (purification plants, etc.)
- 06Grouting ceramic tiles on laboratory benches, kitchen work surfaces, etc
- 07Acid-resistant bonding of tiles (used as an adhesive in compliance with class R2T specification according to EN 12004 standard)
- 08Bonding marble doorsteps and window sills
Where it is not the right product.
- Do not use Kerapoxy for grouting terracotta tiles because they are difficult to clean
- Kerapoxy does not ensure perfect adhesion when used for grouting tiles with wet edges or contaminated with cement, dust, oil, grease, etc
- For flexible expansion joints or joints subject to movement, use an elastic sealant from the MAPEI line (e.g. Mapesil AC, Mapesil LM)
- Unglazed klinker tiles should be grouted with the same colour tone Kerapoxy. All other colours should be used only with glazed tiles
- Do not add water or any solvents to Kerapoxy to make it more fluid

On site
Packs, mixing and storage.
- We stock
- 5 kg
- Mapei packaging
- Kerapoxy is supplied, with mixing proportions carefully measured, in drums containing component A and bottles of component B to be mixed when using the product. The total weight of the units is: 10, 5 and 2 kg in total.
- Mixing
- component A : component B = 9 : 1
- Storage
- Kerapoxy can be stored 24 months in a dry place in original packaging. Store component A at a temperature of at least +10°C to avoid crystallisation which, however, can be reversed by warming.
