Mapei Mapelastic AquaDefense is a premixed, flexible, thin, ultra fast-drying waterproofing and crack-isolation membrane for installation under ceramic tile or stone in residential, commercial and industrial environments.
- Easily applied with a roller or brush on flat or curved surfaces, Mapelastic AquaDefense provides a continuous barrier to protect adjacent rooms and floors below from water damage.
- On common problem areas like coves, corners and cracks, combine it with MAPEI’s optional Reinforcing Fabric. Mapelastic AquaDefense is an advanced liquid-rubber formula that allows tile installation with MAPEI polymer or epoxy mortars after just 30 to 50 minutes of dry time, and flood testing after 12 hours.
- Mapelastic AquaDefense exceeds ANSI A118.10 and ANSI A118.12 standards, and is IAPMO-listed for use as a shower-pan liner.
- Quick-drying: Install tile after 30 to 50 minutes of drying time.
- Time-saving: Flood-test as shower pan liner after 12 hours of drying time.
- Apply with roller or brush – easy to install over flat, curved or irregular surfaces.
