Laticrete - Hydro Ban 1 - Single Coat Tile Waterproofing Membrane (5 gal) is the next evolution in professional waterproofing — a trowel-applied, single-coat membrane that offers unbeatable speed, coverage, and confidence on every job. Engineered to provide both waterproofing and crack isolation, this advanced membrane simplifies the entire application process while meeting the highest industry standards. With built-in self-gauging technology, your trowel becomes the thickness guide — eliminating guesswork and ensuring accurate coverage every time. The membrane’s color-change cure indicator shifts from bright green to a deep cured shade, signaling when it's ready for flood testing — often in as little as 2 to 3 hours. Perfect for wet areas like showers, steam rooms, pools, and spas, HYDRO BAN 1 is rated for demanding environments, including steam exposure (ASTM E96) and high-traffic installations (Extra Heavy Robinson rating). For even faster project timelines, early purchasers will receive a FREE HYDRO BAN Instant Cure Pack, enabling flood testing in as little as 10–15 minutes after application (limited time offer).
