Mapei brings the Zero line to Monza

For the first time on a world-class circuit, vertical signage and safety barriers coated with a paint with fully offset CO₂ emissions

September 2, 2025

Mapei is strengthening its presence at the Monza National Autodrome by introducing a groundbreaking innovation for the Italian Grand Prix, which is scheduled to take place from 5 to 7 September 2025 at the Brianza circuit: the safety barriers and vertical signage have been coated with a paint that has fully offset CO₂ emissions.

Mapecoat TNS Race VRT Zero, a one-component acrylic paint developed by Mapei for vertical barriers and custom graphics, has been used. It is designed to provide resistance and durability as well as a matte finish that reduces glare during races, even at night. This product is part of Mapei's Zero Line, which offsets residual CO₂ emissions* by purchasing carbon credits for forest protection projects. Thanks to its waterborne formulation and total offsetting of CO₂ emissions, this technology successfully combines safety, performance and sustainability.

To complete the project, Mapecoat TNS Race Track Mapei's FIM and FIA approved coloured acrylic coating , was used on kerbs, starting grids, pits and escape routes. This coating provides durable, non-slip surfaces that are resistant to atmospheric agents and capable of maintaining the roughness necessary for rider safety over time.

Beyond providing innovative technical solutions, Mapei supports circuit operators and professionals with consulting and support services, such as the compilation of FIA Sustainability Reports, thus contributing to the adoption of sustainable practices in motorsport.

Mapei confirms its ability to innovate in the world's most prestigious sporting contexts, combining technology, safety and sustainability. The Monza National Autodrome, known as the temple of speed, is the first track in the world to have Zero paint applied to its walls and vertical signage, marking a new step towards more responsible motorsport.
