At least two installation products manufacturers
have launched new technologies designed to drastically reduce the amount of
dust created by using their products. MAPEI said the Dust-Free Technology is
available in a reformulation of one of its popular mortars. Additionally,
Mer-Krete Systems noted that it has launched a dustless thin-set mortar.
MAPEI
said its reformulated Ultraflex 2 mortar featuring Dust-Free Technology is
designed to reduce the amount of dust generated during the production, pouring,
mix and use of the product by 90 percent. The company noted that it plans to
use the new technology in other MAPEI products as well.
Rainer
Blair, president and CEO of MAPEI Americas, said the new technology is designed
to create a healthier jobsite. “We feel that Dust-Free Technology will enable
us to provide our extended family of customers with a cleaner jobsite
environment,” he said.
Mer-Krete’s
Dust-Less Thin-Set technology is engineered to significantly reduce dust
production as well. The technology is featured in the company’s new 7d10
Dust-Less Thin-Set mortar. A release from the company stated that the product
features “80 percent less dust than ordinary thin-sets” and provides “improved
air quality, healthier working conditions … and faster cleanup.”
Additionally, the product has
been formulated to spread easily and evenly, cure quickly and offer outstanding
bond strength, the company added.
