HydroPad® SuperFast

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
HydroPad® SuperFast is a high-performance waterproofing gel designed for swimming pools, terraces, and showers. It features a tripolymer matrix and quartz microspheres, offering flexibility through 4-Way Flex® technology. The gel allows for rapid application and curing due to its variable rheology and low cement content.
Technical Specifications
The product includes flexible polymers and polymer blends, ensuring durability under continuous immersion. It has a low Portland cement content (<20%) and is reinforced with polymerised quartz microspheres. Classified as CM 02 P – EN 14891, it withstands harsh climates.
4-Way Flex® Technology
This technology provides multidirectional flexibility, adapting to structural movements like thermal expansion and vibrations, preventing micro-cracking and delamination.
Variable-Rheology Membrane
The membrane's consistency can be adjusted by adding water, maintaining waterproof and breathable performance, suitable for various climates and surfaces.
Active Breathable Waterproofing
Inspired by smart textile membranes, it allows water vapor to escape while preventing liquid water penetration, adapting to substrate moisture.
Environmental Impact
Contains recycled mineral aggregates (>35%) with low VOC emissions, certified with EC1 Plus Gev Emicode and A+ Indoor air emissions, and has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
Application and Limitations
Applicable to substrates like screeds and tiles, but not on wet surfaces or in layers thicker than 2 mm per coat. Requires ambient temperatures above +5°C.
Preparation and Mixing
Substrates must be clean and dry. Mix the gel with water to the specified ratio, rest for 5 minutes, then stir to achieve consistency.
Application Process
Bond HydroBand Anti-fracture components at junctions, apply the first coat evenly, and ensure complete waterproofing. Apply a second coat once the first is dry.
Waterproofing Application
Apply with a brush to a 1 mm thickness, ensuring full coverage. Allow 1 hour for drying before applying a second coat.
Product Features
Adapts to substrate movements without compromising adhesion or waterproofing, no fiber reinforcement mesh needed.
Use of HydroMesh Anti-Fracture
Embed HydroMesh in the first coat and cover with the second for full coverage, achieving a 2 mm thickness.
Sealing Fittings
Use HydroCollar or HydroDrain for sealing around pipes and fittings, or HydroPixel® sealant for underwater applications.
Flooring Installation
Tiles can be laid 3 hours after the final coat using PowerGel® or FastGel®, ensuring full adhesion with a double-coating technique.
Warnings
Clean tools and surfaces with water before the gel hardens; once hardened, removal is mechanical.
Safety Information
Refer to the Safety Data Sheet on www.litokol.com for safe use.
Legal Notices
Guidelines are based on best knowledge but do not bind the company. Preliminary tests are recommended.
Specification Item
HydroPad® SuperFast is suitable for waterproofing various areas, featuring advanced tripolymer matrix and 4-Way Flex® technology, classified as CM 02 P under EN 14891.

HydroPad® SuperFast-1

HydroPad® SuperFast Technical Specifications High-performance, breathable, super-fast-curing waterproofing gel, formulated with an advanced tripolymer matrix and active quartz microspheres, offering exceptional flexibility thanks to 4-Way Flex® technology. Variable superfluid and thixotropic rheology, with an extremely low cement content, for waterproofing swimming pools, terraces and showers prior to the installation of tiles and natural stone. Waiting time between the first and second coats: 1 hour. Waiting time before laying the covering: 3 hours. Product description High-performance, breathable waterproofing gel with ultra-fast curing, formulated with an advanced tri-polymer matrix and active quartz microspheres, offering exceptional flexibility thanks to 4-Way Flex® technology. Variable superfluid and thixotropic rheology, with an extremely low cement content, for waterproofing swimming pools, terraces and showers prior to the installation of tiles and natural stone. It is easily applied with a smooth steel trowel 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® SuperFast has a working time of over 30 minutes, with a waiting time of 1 hour before applying the second coat and 3 hours before laying the covering; it is designed for harsher climates, where night-time temperatures can drop below freezing and where site requirements demand rapid installation times.

In all cases, the waterproof and breathable performance remains unchanged thanks to the self-regulating structure of the HydroPad® SuperFast system. The exclusive RVP – Programmable Variable Rheology of HydroPad® SuperFast is a compensation mechanism that utilises the adaptive structure of the mineral matrix, which reorganises itself in response to dilution whilst maintaining: - Internal cohesion of the membrane - the barrier against liquid water - Selective breathability with vapour permeability. The result is that, even when the water-to-product ratio is varied, the waterproof gel does not...

- Protect the critical interface between the membrane and the substrate (ITZ) from localised stress, thermal shock, vibrations or differential expansion. The technical structure of 4-Way Flex® technology is designed to prevent 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...

As an alternative to using the special HydroCollar or HydroDrain sealing fittings, it is possible to connect the system’s feed-through body to the cured HydroPad® SuperFast using HydroPixel®, the sealant specifically designed for underwater applications. The professional installer will create a groove approximately 3–4 mm wide around the through-body fitting and, after cleaning the surfaces, will apply HydroPixel® to form a continuous joint between the through-body fitting and the surface of HydroPad® SuperFast, taking care to press firmly and finish by smoothing the surface to ensure complete...
