Mapei has extended its UltraCare range with the introduction of eight new products for floor, tile and surface protection. The new treatments join nine existing UltraCare cleaning products launched in the UK last October.

Aimed at both professionals and DIYers, Mapei’s UltraCare cleaners and protectors simplify application without compromising durability for every type of surface.

Lisa Breakspear, Mapei's UltraCare Category Manager, says: “With the launch of these eight new surface protection products we now offer a complete range of tile care and maintenance products to complement the Mapei system."

The UltraCare products provide protection and maintenance of surfaces in private, commercial and industrial settings. They were formulated in the Mapei Research Laboratories and fulfil specific requirements such as colour enhancing and providing water and oil-repellent protection for surfaces including natural and artificial stone, cement and terrazzo, and the protection of tiles before grouting.

For use on new installations and for maintenance, the products in the UltraCare range are supplied ready to use (they do not need to be diluted) on dry or slightly damp (depending on the type of product) clean materials using a brush, cloth or fleece applicator.

• UltraCare Intensifier W: water-based, high penetration colour enhancer and protector
