Mapei has received Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification for a series of treatments from its UltraCare range. These include six tile and stone cleaning products and UltraCare Smooth Silicone. The certification is said to reflect the company’s commitment to “whole life cycle sustainability”.
Used to document the effects a product has on the environment throughout its entire life cycle, EPDs enable the identification of low environmental impact products to meet project requirements and certification protocols for sustainable building. Mapei calculates the impacts its products have on the environment using the standardised LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) method.
EPD certified products from the UltraCare range include:
- UltraCare Keranet – a concentrated “buffered” acid cleaner; removes rust stains from porcelain and ceramic tiles, as well as limescale and efflorescence.
- UltraCare Kerapoxy Cleaner – a ready-to-use solution for the removal of epoxy residue after grouting.
- UltraCare HD Cleaner – an intensive alkaline treatment for deep cleaning and restoration.
- UltraCare Acid Cleaner – a concentrated “buffered” acid cleaner.
- UltraCare Multicleaner – a concentrated pH-neutral solution for everyday cleaning.
- UltraCare Grout Cleaner – a ready-to-use concentrated alkaline cleaner for cementitious and epoxy grouts.
- UltraCare Smooth Silicone – a smoothing product for finishing sealants.
