March 6, 2019, Bethany, Conn. -- LATICRETE, a leading manufacturer of globally proven construction solutions for the building industry, has launched HYDRO BAN Cementitious Waterproofing Membrane, a single-component, polymer-fortified cement-based waterproofing material that requires only water for mixing, resulting in a faster preparation process. Designed to perform under both negative and positive hydrostatic pressure up to two bars (29 pounds per square inch), HYDRO BAN Cementitious Waterproofing Membrane is ideal for use in swimming pools and aids in avoiding costly repairs from failure. This product can also be used to waterproof spas, water features, balconies or terraces over unoccupied space and all common building substrates that require protection from water exposure.

“In the construction industry, but more importantly in today’s society as a whole, we seek quick results. HYDRO BAN Cementitious Waterproofing Membrane is not a magic pill, but it’s pretty close. Competitive products on the market cannot handle the same amount of hydrostatic pressure HYDRO BAN Cementitious Waterproofing can and are two or three-part systems. This product is a simple, easy-to-use, one-step product that allows for areas of application to be flood tested within two hours for a faster time to tile,” said Ryan Blair, LATICRETE senior product manager.
