Litoband Basic SEALING TAPE FOR WATERPROOFING SYSTEMS FOR INTERIORS AND EXTERIORS. Litoband Basic is a waterproofing sealing tape for use in indoor and outdoor areas, made from a waterproof and vapor-proof thermoplastic elastomer, with an alkali-resistant fabric backing. For the perfect sealing of corners, special pre-shaped Litoband pieces are available for internal (IC) and external (EC) corners, made using the same material. ADVANTAGES / FEATURES • Suitable for use in severe operating conditions from -22°F to 194°F (from -30°C to +90°C) • Excellent chemical resistance against many aggressive chemicals (see table) • Usable with all types of waterproofing membranes such as Elastocem, Coverflex and Hidroflex Litoband Basic: 10 and 50 m (10.9 and 54.7yd) rolls Litoband Basic for internal (IC) and external (EC) corners: 25 pc boxes Litoband Basic and pre-shaped IC and EC corners are used as reinforcing elements together with Elastocem, Coverflex and Hidroflex waterproofing membranes to seal corners in indoor and outdoor areas. Typical applications include: • Waterproofing of wall-to-wall and wall-to-floor corners in areas such as bathrooms, showers, etc. to be waterproofed with Elastocem, Coverflex and Hidroflex. • Waterproofing of expansion joints on balconies and terraces, wall-to-wall and wall-to-floor corners • Waterproofing of reinforced concrete structures such as swimming pools, fountains, etc., prior to installing ceramics or mosaics WATERPROOFING PLANNING The only way to guarantee the long-lasting performance of ceramic and porcelain tile installations is to properly plan the process. It is therefore advisable to consult the national regulations in force in each country, for example standard UNI 11493 in Italy, which provides all necessary instructions regarding the choice of materials, correct planning, use and installation, so as to ensure all quality, performance and durability standards are safely met. When installing large tiles or low thickness laminated porcelain stoneware slabs, we recommend paragraphs 7.13.8 and 7.13.9 of regulation UNI 11493 be carefully read. Moreover, certain producers of thin slabs provide installation manuals indicating the adhesive classes that need to be used depending on the size, characteristics and intended use of the slabs. Some of the general precautions that need to be followed are listed below as an example. Substrates Before installation, check that substrates are clean, free of loose fragments, properly dried and cured, flat and level, and that mechanical strength requirements based on the intended use have been met. Before application, use a hygrometer to check that the residual humidity in the substrate is maximum 3% CM; on anhydrite screeds maximum 0.5% CM; on anhydrite screeds with heating systems maximum 0.2% CM. (CM = measurement with carbide method hygrometer). Worksite conditions Check the suitability of the temperature, humidity, light conditions etc. at the time of the product’s application. In the case of particularly warm climates (T>95°F) (T>35°C), perform installation in the early hours of the morning. Materials Check that all materials used for tiling (ceramic materials, leveling systems, adhesives, grouts, waterproofing products, Waterproofing systems

etc.) are suitable for the intended use and have been correctly stored. Expansion joints Check that the perimeter, expansion, divider and structural elastic joints have been correctly designed and prepared. Divider joints are normally needed for 20/25 m2 (21.9/27.3yd2) indoor sections, and 9-15m2 (9.84/16.4yd2) outdoor sections. For exteriors, make sure joints are properly waterproofed and sealed. Expansion joints must be waterproofed by inserting the Litoband Basic sealing tape, omega-folded inside the joint. To reduce the thickness, allowing the silicone sealant to adhere only to the sides...
