Mapei Mapelastic AquaDefense - 7.5kg Ready-to-Use Liquid Waterproofing Membrane, Fast-Drying & Flexible for Showers, Wet Rooms, Bathrooms & Balconies

Ready-to-Use Liquid Waterproofing Membrane: Mapei Mapelastic AquaDefense is a premium, solvent-free liquid membrane supplied in a 7.5kg bucket, requiring no mixing. It forms a seamless, elastic barrier to protect substrates against water damage before tiling. Ultra Fast-Drying for Quick Projects: Delivers exceptional turnaround time. Water-resistant in just 1 hour after the first coat, and ready for tile installation in 3-4 hours (at 23°C), significantly accelerating bathroom and wet room renovation schedules. Flexible & Crack-Bridging Protection: Offers high elasticity, capable of bridging cracks up to 3.2 mm (at 23°C) without requiring reinforcement fabric, ensuring long-term waterproofing integrity in moving structures. For Interior & Exterior Wet Areas: The ideal solution for waterproofing bathrooms, showers, wet rooms, saunas, balconies, terraces, and laundry rooms. Suitable for both interior and exterior applications when properly protected. Excellent Substrate Compatibility: Can be applied directly onto concrete, cement screeds, plasterboard (gypsum board), cement renders, and existing sound ceramic/stone surfaces, providing versatile protection for renovations and new builds. Easy Application with Standard Tools: Apply straight from the bucket using a long-nap roller, brush, or trowel. A second coat is applied diagonally after the first is touch-dry to achieve the required minimum 0.8 mm total film thickness. Professional System Integration: Designed to be used with MAPEI's compatible Mapeband waterproofing tapes for sealing joints and corners. Once cured, tiles can be installed using a recommended C2-class flexible adhesive for a complete, guaranteed system.
