The Laticrete HYDRO BAN Cementitious Waterproofing Membrane is a professional-grade, polymer-fortified solution engineered to deliver reliable waterproof protection across a wide range of residential and commercial applications. This one-component system mixes easily with water to create a durable, cement-based membrane that forms a seamless barrier against moisture intrusion. Designed for both interior and exterior use, it is ideal for wet environments such as swimming pools, bathrooms, kitchens, fountains, balconies, and terraces where long-term waterproofing performance is critical.

This advanced membrane stands out for its ability to handle both negative and positive hydrostatic pressure up to 2 bars or 29 PSI when applied at the recommended thickness. Its rapid drying technology allows flood testing in as little as 2 hours at optimal temperatures, significantly reducing project timelines compared to traditional systems. The ability to install tile, brick, or stone directly onto the membrane surface further enhances efficiency, eliminating unnecessary steps and ensuring a strong, lasting bond.

Engineered for versatility, HYDRO BAN Cementitious Waterproofing Membrane adheres directly to a wide variety of substrates including concrete, cement backer board, masonry, cement mortar beds, terrazzo, and even plumbing materials such as metal, PVC, and ABS. Its compatibility with multiple surfaces makes it an excellent choice for both new construction and renovation projects. The membrane also performs exceptionally well in partially tiled applications such as waterlines, swimming lanes, and decorative pool features.

Installation is straightforward and contractor-friendly. The product can be applied using a brush, roller, or trowel, with two coats recommended to achieve the required thickness for optimal waterproofing. Its extended working time allows for precise application, while its fast curing properties enable quicker progression to the next stages of construction. The fabric-free application in most scenarios simplifies the process even further, reducing labor and material costs without compromising performance.

Built to meet demanding industry standards, this membrane exceeds ANSI A118.10 requirements and achieves an Extra Heavy Service rating under TCNA performance testing. Its GREENGUARD certification and LEED compliance make it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious projects.
