Key Features & Benefits
-
Triple-Action Formula
Functions as a water-resistant primer, bonding agent, and flexi-additive to improve adhesion, flexibility, and long-term durability of your substrate. -
Superior Water Resistance
Seals and stabilises porous or moisture-sensitive surfaces including plasterboard, concrete, screeds, cement-based boards, and patching mortars. Ideal for areas with constant water exposure or condensation. -
Enhanced Adhesion
Promotes a strong, uniform bond for tanking membranes, tile adhesives, and finishing products – reducing the risk of failure or water ingress. -
Improves Substrate Performance
Strengthens the substrate, increases flexibility, and reduces the risk of cracking – essential for wet areas, underfloor heating zones, and wooden substrates prone to movement. -
Quick-Drying & Easy to Apply
Apply with brush or roller. Dries within 1–2 hours depending on conditions, so you can begin tanking or tiling quickly with minimal downtime. -
High Coverage & Cost-Effective
Each litre covers approximately 6–8m², depending on substrate porosity, making it a cost-effective solution for large or small projects.
