THINGS TO CONSIDER
Not suitable for waterproofing exterior building walls, industrial floors or unstable surfaces.
Not suitable for applying onto areas that are continually immersed, such as ponds and pools.
Not suitable for waterproofing roofs and terraces.
Not resistant to pressuring washing on some substrates.
When stored airtight in a cool, dry place at temperatures above 5°C and protected from frost, shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture.
PREPARATION Ensure that all surfaces are clean, completely dry, sound and free from dust grease or any other contaminating barrier. Any joints between wood panels must be fully supported to prevent movement.
Any existing covering must be sound and capable of supporting the expected load. Scrape off any flaking paint and replace any hollow sounding tiles. Emulsion paint is not suitable. Wash off any traces of maintenance products (wax etc.) or grease and allow to dry.
Prime porous surfaces, such as plaster or cement, with weber PR360 and allow to dry for 2 hours.
APPLICATION: Do not apply if the temperature is of the range +5°C to +35°C and do not apply to frozen, thawing or hot substrates or in direct sunlight.
Ensure that any concealed underfloor heating system is turned off and that the floor is cool.
Apply a coat of Webersys Protect with a flat brush to corners, angles, around protruding pipes, into small cracks (must be stable and less than 2mm wide) and along the joints between wooden panels.
Place strips of BE14 Joint Reinforcing Tape along the angles and cut to size with scissors so that all lengths fit tightly into any corners.
Reinforce around protruding pipes by cutting a star opening in a suitable length of tape, pushing the patch over the pipe and bedding it into the webersys protect tightly around the pipe.
Taking care not to damage the tape, work it into the Webersys Protect and smooth down with a flat trowel.
Do not butt-join or cut the tape short at corners. Overlap joints and all layers at corners bedding into Webersys Protect.
Generously apply the first coat of Webersys Protect to the area with a roller using around 0.4 kg/m².
As soon as the first coat is dry, apply a second coat, rollering in a direction 90° to the first coat, to obtain an overall film around 1mm thick. Wash tools in water immediately after use.
Allow to dry for at least 3–4 hours, or until the Webersys Protect is no longer tacky, before fixing the tiles with Weberset SPF or Weberset Rapid SPF. When the adhesive has fully set, grout the joints with an appropriate grout. Fill the joints around the perimeters with the silicone.

Easy to apply kit for treating commercial or domestic showers before tiling. Provides tough and durable protection against leaks whilst remaining permanently flexible. Contains primer, coating and waterproof jointing tape. Contains enough to waterproof a standard sized shower. Covers up to 4m²
Features
Suitable for shower trays or over a bath.
Waterproofs plaster, plasterboard, plywood, render & concrete.
Fast drying.
Apply with brush or roller.
Ready-to-use, ultra-quick drying, flexible liquid membrane for internal and external waterproofing applications.
WHERE TO USE: To form waterproofing layers before applying ceramic, stone and mosaic coatings in:
balconies and terraces
bathrooms and shower cubicles
laundry rooms
saunas and damp environments in general.
MAY BE APPLIED ON:
concrete
cementitious screeds and screeds made using special binders (Topcem)
plasterboard (for internal applications only)
existing coatings in ceramic, terrazzo and stone
cementitious render.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
Preparation of the substrate Substrates must be well-cured, sound, clean, dry and free of oil, grease, cement laitance, old paint and any other substance which could compromise the bond. Cementitious substrates must be stable and dry with no rising damp. Surface dust must be completely removed. Before applying Mapelastic AquaDefense, pay particular attention to expansion joints and fillet joints between horizontal and vertical surfaces. In such cases, apply Mapeband and suitable profiles bonded in place with Mapelastic AquaDefense. Before applying Mapelastic AquaDefense on old ceramic and natural stone floors, use Eco Prim Grip.
APPLICATION OF THE PRODUCT:
Mapelastic AquaDefense must be applied in two even, coats (approx. 0.4 mm per coat) with a long-haired roller, brush or trowel. Wait until the first coat is dry, making sure the product becomes darker with a matt finish, before applying the second coat diagonally to the first (approximately 1 hour at +23°C and 50% relative humidity of the air and with substrates having residual humidity lower than 3%).The final thickness of the two coats of Mapelastic AquaDefense must be at least 0.8mm in order to create a robust, flexible and continuous film. Make sure there are no interruptions in the film caused by imperfections in the substrate. Ceramic, stone and mosaic tiles may be laid 4 hours after applying the second coat (at +23°C and 50% relative humidity of the air).
| Colour | Light blue |
| Coverage | 1kg/m² for two coats (1.3kg/m² per mm of thickness). |
| Waiting time before laying coating | 3-4 hours |
| Complete drying of 1mm thick layer | 12 hours |
| Application temp. | +5°C - +35°C |
| Tools cleaning | while still fresh with water |
| Packaging | 7.5kg and 15kg cans |

Alkali-resistant rubber tape with felt for cementitious waterproofing systems and liquid membranes.
WHERE TO USE:
Waterproofing corners between adjacent walls and between walls and floors.
Flexible waterproofing of expansion joints on terraces and balconies.
Sealing pipes and drains in bathrooms, showers and kitchens in conjunction with Mapebandgaskets.
Sealing expansion joints in precast panels.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Mapeband is a vapour and water-resistant rubber tape with fabric edging which is resistant to alkali.
Mapeband is elastic and deformable even at low temperatures with excellent resistance to adverse weather conditions.
Mapeband is resistant to alkalis, acids and salt solutions (for special cases, test before using).
Mapeband is also available in ready-made internal and external corner sections along with Mapeband gaskets for pipes in bathrooms, kitchens, showers, etc.
APPLICATION:
Apply a thin layer of Mapelastic or Mapelastic AquaDefense, at least 1 mm thick, to the sides of the corners and expansion joints to be waterproofed with Mapeband.
Apply the fabric side of the Mapeband tape or special pieces over the fresh layer of Mapelastic or Mapelastic AquaDefense, using a smooth trowel.
It is essential that Mapelastic or Mapelastic AquaDefense wet both sides of the Mapeband, also the rubber tape, for a width of several mm.
For movement joints (i.e. in terraces) Mapeband must be positioned in the shape of an omega Ω.
Mapeband can then be subjected to tension.
| Packaging | 50m rolls of 120mm total width. |
