for facadefor swimming poolfor shower

Product overview
A breathable, semi-rapid-curing tri-polymer waterproofing gel, reinforced with quartz microspheres and featuring 4-Way Flex® thixotropic and fluid properties with an ultra-low cement content, for waterproofing swimming pools, terraces, showers and damp areas. Waiting time between 1st and 2nd coats: 2 hours | Ready for tiling in 6 hours. Coverage: 2.3 kg/m² in two coats. Powered by 4-Way Flex® technology.

Product description
High-performance, breathable, rapid-setting waterproofing gel, formulated with an advanced tripolymer matrix and active quartz microspheres, offering exceptional flexibility thanks to 4-Way Flex® technology. Variable superfluid and thixotropic rheology, with an extremely low cement content, for waterproofing swimming pools, terraces and showers prior to the installation of tiles and natural stone. It is easily applied with a smooth steel trowel and, when used in combination with the HydroBand Anti-Fracture range of accessories, creates a continuous waterproof barrier for swimming pools, outdoor areas and damp environments. It can also be applied over non-absorbent materials such as existing old tiles. HydroPad® Fast has a working time of over 45 minutes, with waiting times of 2 hours for the application of the second coat and 6 hours for the installation of the finish; it is designed for low-temperature conditions and partially damp substrates, or for use when the weather is uncertain and there is a risk of rain in the first few hours after application. Classified as CM 02 P – EN 14891.

Advantages

• 4-Way Flex® flexibility: ability to deform longitudinally, transversely, vertically and torsionally, preventing micro-cracking and delamination even on unstable substrates.
• Breathable: the membrane actively breathes, adapting to residual moisture in the substrate.
• Fatigue-reducing application: spreads evenly, quickly and easily using trowel, roller or brush on large horizontal and vertical surfaces, both absorbent and non-absorbent, maintaining flow properties even under direct sunlight and in hot, breezy conditions.
• Short waiting time: same workability as the standard gel but with faster setting times for uncertain weather; shorter waiting times for the second coat and for installation of the cladding.

Applications and use

• Waterproofing swimming pools, terraces, showers and damp areas.
• Use prior to installation of tiles and natural stone.
• Can be applied over non-absorbent substrates such as existing old tiles.
• Used with HydroBand Anti-Fracture accessories to form continuous waterproof barriers for pools, outdoor areas and damp environments.
