HYDRO BAN is a single-component, self-curing liquid rubber polymer. When applied to a surface, it dries into a seamless, monolithic membrane that prevents water from reaching the substrate. Because it is a liquid, it can be applied to complex shapes, corners, and drains, providing a highly versatile solution for creating watertight environments. It bonds effectively to most substrates, including concrete, cement backer board, and even properly prepared exterior-grade plywood. Once cured, the membrane is flexible, allowing it to bridge cracks up to 1/8 inch, which helps prevent future tile damage from minor structural movement. It is not designed to be a finished surface, but rather a protective underlayment. One of the major advantages of HYDRO BAN is its efficiency; it can be flood tested within two hours of application in warm conditions, which significantly accelerates construction timelines. As with all waterproofing, it must be applied to the manufacturer's specified thickness to be effective. Always verify the application requirements for your specific installation before you begin.
