Description
FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF NOVOPLAN 2 PLUS
▪ For leveling, use Novoplan 2 Plus for smoothing and repairing of interior floors
▪ Novoplan 2 Plus is ready for tile in 24 hours
INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND APPROVALS
▪ Meets compression and flatness requirements of ASTM F710, Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete
Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring
▪ Meets compression and flatness requirements of ASTM F2873, Standard Practice for the Installation of Self Leveling Underlayment, and the Preparation of Surface to Receive Resilient Flooring
WHERE TO USE NOVOPLAN 2 PLUS
▪ For leveling, smoothing and repairing of interior, residential and commercial floors before the installation of
floor coverings
▪ For use over radiant-heated floors or to encapsulate hydronic or electric radiant-heated floors
LIMITATIONS
▪ Do not mix with other self-leveling underlayments.
▪ Do not install over unprimed surfaces.
▪ Do not install over flooring products, adhesive residue or substrates containing asbestos.
▪ Do not use for exterior applications. For interior use only.
▪ Do not apply Novoplan 2 Plus unless the substrate temperature is maintained at between 50°F and 90°F
(10°C and 32°C) for 48 hours before, during and after application. Do not allow freshly installed Novoplan 2
Plus to freeze.
▪ Do not use as a final wear surface. Cured Novoplan 2 Plus must be covered with a finished floor system or
floor covering.
▪ Do not install over standing water.
▪ Do not install over dimensionally unstable materials.
▪ Do not install if the maximum allowable deflection of the supporting surface exceeds L/360 (or L/720 for
installations involving natural stone or their agglomerates) when exposed to live or dead loads.
▪ Do not use in areas subjected to prolonged exposure to moisture. Contact MAPEI’s Technical Services
Department for waterproofing recommendations.
▪ Do not use as a moisture mitigation product. Cement-based self-leveling underlayments do not reduce
moisture vapor transmissions emanating from high-humidity concrete slabs. If the flooring or installation
system requires protection from elevated humidity levels, moisture mitigation must be done before
Novoplan 2 Plus is installed. Contact MAPEI’s Technical Services Department for recommendations
regarding moisture mitigation.
SUITABLE SUBSTRATES
▪ Concrete that is installed in compliance with ASTM F710, that is at least 28 days old, and that is free from
hydrostatic pressure, osmotic blistering and alkali silica reaction. Surface profiling of concrete is not
required if Novoplan 2 Plus will only be exposed to light or moderate traffic conditions. For high traffic, heavy
rolling loads and maximum depth of fill conditions, an International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI)
concrete surface profile (CSP) of #3 to #4 is required beneath the selected primer. Alternatively, a textured
primer may be used instead of mechanical profiling. Make sure to follow all written instructions and
guidelines found on the Technical Data Sheet and other related documentation for the selected primer.
▪ Well-bonded and dimensionally stable ceramic tile, porcelain tile, quarry tile, natural stone, vinyl
composition tile (VCT), cement, epoxy-based moisture barriers and epoxy terrazzo
▪ Properly installed cement backer units
▪ Durable and fully cured cement-based mortar beds
▪ Engineer-approved plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) subfloors with a maximum of 19.2″ (48.77 cm) on
center joist placement and that meets requirements of L/360
▪ Nailed-down wood flooring (including plank wood subfloors, strip wood subfloors and nailed-down solid
wood flooring) that has been covered over with at least one layer of 5/8″ (16 mm) plywood, glued and screwed
▪ Gypsum-based underlayments
▪ Mapeheat Membrane, Mapeguard UM and similar crack-isolation and uncoupling membranes (these
do not require priming)
