LATICRETE HYDRO BAN XP is a premium liquid-applied waterproofing membrane ideal for interior and exterior tile and stone installations. This fast-curing, highly flexible membrane comes in a 5 gallon (19 L) pail and forms a seamless, monolithic barrier that resists cracks and isolates minor substrate movement. HYDRO BAN XP eliminates the need for fabric at changes in plane, meets ANSI A118.10 and A118.12 standards, and is suitable for showers, steam rooms, pools, fountains, and balconies. Easy to apply with a roller, trowel, or sprayer, it provides excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates and contributes to a healthier installation by inhibiting the growth of stain-causing mold and mildew.

Elevate your tile and stone installations with LATICRETE® HYDRO BAN® XP, the industry-leading, thin, load-bearing waterproofing and crack isolation membrane. Designed for extreme performance (XP), this premium liquid-applied membrane offers a faster, more reliable way to protect your substrates from water damage and structural shifts.

Whether you are tackling a high-end residential steam shower or a heavy-duty commercial pool, HYDRO BAN® XP provides a seamless, antimicrobial barrier that eliminates the need for reinforcing fabric in the field, coves, or corners. Its unique olive green formula dries quickly, allowing for flood testing in as little as 2 hours, significantly shortening your project timeline without compromising on safety or quality.
