WATstop is a three-component epoxy-cement coating that waterproofs from either side of the structure. It holds back 9.5 atm of water pressure in direct thrust or counter-thrust, so it works where water pushes from below slabs or behind walls in basements, cellars, tanks and pits. On concrete floors it lays down as a vapour barrier at 1.0 kg/m²; in dehumidification build-ups it primes the wall for Diathonite Deumix+. In the microcement system it is the waterproofing layer under Decorkrete in showers and wet areas. Applied by trowel or roller; stocked in white.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is WATstop used for?

    Yes — WATstop bonds well to secure, clean tile. Lightly sand the surface, clean well, and apply two coats. if adhesion is a concern use Grip Primer after cleaning surface.

    Do I need joint tape in corners?
    Use Safety Joint Tape in corners and seams to reinforce high-movement areas or areas with standing water and prevent cracking.

    How many coats should I apply?
    Two coats — recoat within 24 hours of the first.

    Can I use it on floors?
    Yes — WATstop is suitable for floors in bathrooms, basements, and wet areas.

    Is it safe for indoor use?
    Yes — WATstop is solvent-free and low-VOC, making it safe for homes and occupied spaces.

    Can I tile over it?
    Yes — apply tile, Plasterpaint or the next coating within the 24-48 hour overcoat window after the last coat; past 48 hours the surface must be prepared again.
