HydroPad® 2K Fast Technical Specifications High-performance, rapid-curing, waterproof Duo-Gel, formulated with an advanced tripolymer matrix and active quartz microspheres, ultra-flexible, featuring enhanced 4-Way Flex® technology. Thixotropic rheology, with very low cement content, for waterproofing swimming pools, terraces and showers prior to the laying of tiles and natural stone. Wait 3 hours between the first and second coats. Wait 8 hours before laying the covering. Product description High-performance, rapid-curing, waterproof Duo-Gel, formulated with an advanced tripolymer matrix and active quartz microspheres, ultra-flexible, featuring enhanced 4-Way Flex® technology. Thixotropic rheology, with very low cement content, for waterproofing swimming pools, terraces and showers prior to the laying of tiles and natural stone. Wait 3 hours between the first and second coats. Wait 8 hours before laying the covering. It is easily applied with a smooth steel trowel, even on large surfaces, and, when used in combination with the HydroBand Anti-Fracture range of accessories, creates a continuous waterproof barrier for swimming pools, outdoor areas and damp environments. It can also be applied over non-absorbent materials, such as existing old tiles. HydroPad® 2K Fast has a working time of over 1 hour, with a waiting time of 3 hours before applying the second coat and 8 hours before laying the covering; it is designed for both hot and humid climates and for lowtemperature conditions and partially damp substrates, or for when the weather is uncertain and there is a risk of rain in the first few hours after application.

invisible cracks before they form. The interface between the membrane and the substrate is the most vulnerable area: differences in elastic moduli and coefficients of thermal expansion, as well as imperfect adhesion, generate invisible micro-fractures that lead to water ingress, delamination triggered by thermal cycles and loss of film cohesion under deformation. With 4-Way Flex®, the ITZ becomes an active zone where the HydroPad® 2K Fast polymer matrix deforms together with the substrate in every direction, compensating for movement gradients. Stress is not concentrated but is distributed over...

Refer to national standards, such as UNI 11493 The ambient and surface temperatures must be above +5°C at the time of installation and for 72 hours after application Apply the finish to the membrane within 72 hours in external applications to avoid prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays; alternatively, cover with sunshade sheets; in applications exposed to traffic and abrasion, cover with suitable protection systems against direct abrasion until the finish is applied Do not apply to wet surfaces, damp substrates (> 5% relative humidity) or those subject to rising damp Do not apply in layers thicker...

Mix the product using the specified mixing ratio of 20 kg of powder + 10 kg of latex; do not alter the ratio or prepare partial batches without weighing the components on a set of scales. Pour all the latex from the container into a clean bucket and slowly add the product, mixing with a mechanical mixer until a creamy, smooth and lumpfree mixture is obtained. Leave the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes, during which time the polymeric Duo-Gel develops fully: the hydraulic binders, fillers and cellulose hydrate evenly, the micro-air bubbles incorporated during mixing are eliminated, and the...

HydroPixel® to form a continuous joint bead between the through-body and the surface of HydroPad® 2K Fast, taking care to press firmly and finish by smoothing the surface to ensure complete filling and perfect adhesion. Please consult the technical data sheets for the products listed before use. Flooring installation Tiles may be laid at least 8 hours after the final coat under standard conditions. The installation of ceramic tiles, natural stone or mosaics will be carried out using the high-performance PowerGel® S1+, PowerGel® S2+ or FastGel® S1+ gels, based on Litokol science, which guarantee...
