Laticrete 9235 Membrane Kit – The Industry Standard Waterproofing Solution

For robust, dependable waterproofing in the most demanding environments, the Laticrete 9235 Membrane Kit stands as the industry benchmark. This comprehensive kit provides everything you need to create a thin, load-bearing, and seamless waterproof barrier, specifically designed for the rigorous requirements of ceramic tile, stone, and brick installations. Furthermore, it’s engineered for both wet areas and continuous water submersion applications, making it an essential component for projects like shower pans, swimming pools, and fountains. When failure is not an option, professionals consistently turn to the proven performance of the Laticrete 9235 system.

The Laticrete 9235 Membrane Kit (as typically offered for full coverage) includes a generous 6-gallon pail of the 9235 self-curing liquid rubber polymer, a 38-inch wide roll of reinforcing fabric for primary surfaces, and an additional 6-inch wide roll of fabric, which is perfect for detailing coves, corners, and drains. Consequently, this combination allows for a flexible, monolithic waterproof membrane that effectively bonds to a diverse range of substrates. Moreover, the application process is straightforward; the liquid can be applied with a paint roller or brush, and the fabric is easily embedded, typically allowing for a fast cure and readiness for tile installation in just hours, not days.

Key Features & Benefits of the Laticrete 9235 Membrane Kit:

• Proven Performance: Recognized as “The Industry Standard” for wet areas and continuous water submersion. Indeed, it offers peace of mind for critical applications.
• Anti-Fracture Protection: Effectively isolates tile and stone from minor substrate cracks up to 1/8″ (3 mm), thus preventing damage to the finished surface.
• Thin Profile: Cures to a mere 0.02″ (0.5 mm) thickness, meaning it adds no significant build-up to the overall installation.
• Extra Heavy Service Rating: Achieves an “Extra Heavy Service” rating per TCNA performance levels (referencing ASTM C627 Robinson Floor Test), suitable for the toughest commercial environments.
• Antimicrobial Protection: Often equipped with Microban® technology to inhibit the growth of stain-causing mold and mildew on the membrane itself.
• Safe to Use: Features a non-flammable, solvent-free formulation and is UL GREENGUARD GOLD Certified for low chemical emissions.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for interior and exterior use on vertical, horizontal, and even ceiling surfaces. Don’t forget your essential tiling tools for application.
