LATICRETE HYDRO BAN® — 5 Gallon is a thin, load-bearing, liquid-applied waterproofing and crack-isolation membrane for tile and stone assemblies. It cures into a flexible seamless barrier and generally does not require reinforcing fabric in the field, coves or corners when installed to current instructions.

HYDRO BAN is used in showers, bathrooms, kitchens, pools, fountains, balconies over unoccupied space and other approved interior/exterior wet-area applications. Tile and stone can be bonded directly to the cured membrane.

Contractor Notes

• Apply to approved, properly prepared substrates.
• Use the required wet-film thickness and allow each coat to cure according to current LATICRETE instructions.
• Flood-test only after the manufacturer-required cure period.
• Not intended to control negative-side hydrostatic pressure or excessive moisture vapor from below the assembly.
