Mapei Nivoplan Interior & Exterior Levelling Mortar

Nivoplan is a grey or white powder composed of cement, selected aggregates and special synthetic
resins which, when mixed with water, provide a mix that is easy to apply on vertical surfaces with a trowel
or with a rendering spraying machine.
*Note: The choice of bonding requirement is based around the porosity of the substrate and the required
finishes.
Nivoplan’s bonding properties can be improved by adding Planicrete and water to the product during
mixing, 1-2 litres per bag (used as a partial replacement for the mix water).
The addition of Planicrete is necessary for thin applications over concrete or in cases where the render
will receive tile or natural stone coverings.
*Note: Nivoplan is a normal setting Portland based product. The waiting time to fix tiles is based in the
development of the mechanical strength. Mapei Planicrete is a SBR additive used, when mixed as per the
recommendations:
To improve the mechanical characteristics of cement-based renders.
To improve the adhesive characteristics of cementbased renders.
To provide higher compressive and flexural strengths.
Nivoplan is classified as GP (“General purpose mortar for internal/external render”), category CS IV according
to EN 998-1.
RECOMMENDATIONS
NIVOPLAN
Smoothing mortar for internal and external walls
and ceilings for thicknesses from 2 to 20 mm.
▪ Nivoplan must never be used on gypsum or gypsum-based surfaces, unless those surfaces have been
prepared with a coat or two of Primer G (see relative Technical Data Sheet).
▪ Nivoplan is not suitable for smoothing over floors due to its limited compressive strength. In this case,
please refer to the Technical Data Sheets regarding products for preparing substrates, or contact the MAPEI
Technical Assistance Department.
