Protection waterproofing membrane SAFETYGEL®

for floorfor showerwall

Product overview
Advanced elastomeric gel membrane with watertight sealing and crack-resistant properties for high-performance continuous waterproofing (3.0 bar) of swimming pools, terraces, showers and other critical surfaces. Enhanced with ultra-high-density quartz microspheres and engineered with proprietary 6-Dimensional Elasticity® technology to provide dynamic compensation for substrate stresses and coating expansion, preventing micro-crack formation in ceramic tiling while offering exceptional tensile adhesion strength.

Main features and benefits

• 6-Dimensional decoupling, anti-fracture elasticity enabling dynamic compensation of substrate movements.
• Continuous, joint-free waterproofing membrane rated to 3.0 bar water pressure.
• Elongation at break >500%.
• Crack-bridging properties certified to ANSI A118.12 (opening/closing up to 1.6 mm).
• Ultra-thin crack-bridging membrane (1.5 mm), ideal for renovation projects.
• Retains elasticity and performance at extreme temperatures (down to -20°C).
• No reinforcement mesh, tapes or strips required for corners or edges.
• Environmentally friendly: product can be reused once opened.

Applications

• Waterproofing of swimming pools, terraces, balconies and showers.
• Prevention and isolation of cracks when installing ceramic tiles, large-format tiles and natural stone.
• Waterproofing of critical surfaces and outdoor areas including vertical and horizontal planes, corners and floor-to-wall joints.

Application methods & coverage
Ready to use, quick-drying (rainproof in 2 hours). Can be applied with roller, brush, smooth steel trowel or airless sprayer. Typical coverage by hand with a roller: 1 kg/m² in 2 coats. On absorbent substrates: 1.3 kg/m² in 3 coats. Waiting time between 1st and 2nd coats: 2 hours. Ready for tiling in 2 hours.

Compatibility and substrates
Formulated to guarantee structural adhesion even on non-absorbent substrates such as old tiles, fibreglass, PVC, metal and wood. Suitable for renovation projects and substrates with micro-cracks.

System integration
Co-engineered with PowerGel® S1+ to form the High-Adhesion Anti-Crack TileSafe® System. As part of the TileSafe® System, engineered for installation of large-format tiles and slabs in high-traffic areas; enables crack isolation of cracked substrates up to 3 mm and provides enhanced tensile adhesion and crack protection when combined with the recommended gel products.

Certifications & intellectual property
Crack-bridging properties certified to ANSI A118.12. Classified as DM 02 P – EN 14891. International patent application filed No. 102025000025348. TileSafe® System also protected by international patent application filed No. 102025000025363.
