PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PRO-RED® WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE 963 is a ready-to-use, elastomeric, waterproofing and crack prevention membrane for all interior or exterior commercial and residential tile and stone installations.
Easily applied with roller, trowel or sprayer producing a continuous moisture barrier with outstanding adhesion.
Reduces crack transmission in ceramic tile or stone floors.
Meets ANSI A118.10 for waterproofing membranes and ANSI A118.12 for crack isolation membranes.
Meets Uniform Plumbing Code specifications for use as a shower pan liner.
Listed with IAPMO R & T,
File #4244 UPC®. ICC-ES ER-6014. Can also be
used as a slab-on-grade moisture barrier under resilient flooring.
For instructions for use as a slab-on-grade moisture barrier for resilient flooring installations, refer to C-Cure’s technical bulletin #121.
BASIC USE
PERMABOND FASTSET is used as a bond coat for setting absorptive, semi-vitreous and vitreous ceramic tile for service in residential and commercial use for both floor and wall installations. It is used in a mortar bed from 3/32" to 3/16" (2.4 to 5 mm) after the tiles have been properly embedded.
PERMABOND FASTSET 904 has excellent water and impact resistance, is water cleanable, non-flammable,good for exterior work.
No presoaking of tiles is necessary.
PERMABOND FASTSET 904 mortar is not affected by prolonged contact with water, but does not form a waterproof barrier.
PERMABOND FASTSET 904 provides a permanent installation with higher bond strength and lower material and labor costs than conventional Portland cement mortar beds.

PACKAGING
5 gallon (18.9 L) and 2 gallon (7.57 L) pails..
INSTALLATION
PREPARATORY WORK
All exterior and wet areas are to have proper sloping to drains.
All surfaces must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free from contaminants that would prevent a good bond.
Newly prepared concrete must be cured 28 days, finished with a steel trowel and have a fine broom finish.
Existing surfaces should be scarified, level and all defects repaired.
Cracks in excess of 1/8" (3 mm) should be treated as expansion joints..
APPLICATION
As a Crack Prevention Membrane
Force PRO-RED WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE 963 into cracks with the flat side of the trowel, roller or brush.
Then, using a 3/16" x 1/4" (5 x 6 mm) V-notch trowel or 3/8" (9.5 mm) rough textured roller, apply additional material onto the substrate.
If using a trowel, use the flat side of the trowel and flatten the ridges to form a continuous, even coat of material.
Membrane should extend beyond both sides of the crack a minimum of the diagonal measurement of the tile. Gaps between plywood sheets and where they meet walls should also be pre-filled with membrane. For continuous crack isolation cover the entire substrate with material.
Material should be applied at least 30 mils wet film thickness.
As a Waterproof Membrane
All cracks in concrete up to 1/8" (3 mm) should be pre-filled with membrane prior to application.
Dampen all porous surfaces. Use a 3/4" (19 mm) rough textured synthetic roller, or a 3/16" x 1/4" (5 x 6 mm) V-notch trowel. Heavily pre-coat corners and where floors and walls meet extending it 6" (15 cm) on either side.
For exterior change of plane embed 6" (15 cm) wide fiberglass mesh into the membrane in corners and where floors and walls meet.
If using a trowel, spread the material with trowel held at a 45° angle then flatten the ridges.
If using a roller, apply a continuous, even film with overlapping strokes.
Alternatively, an airless sprayer can be used.
The sprayer should produce between 1900 to 2300 psi, with a flow rate of 1.0 to 1.5 gpm and have a tip orifice size of .025 to .029.
Apply a continuous film with overlapping spray.
Initial membrane appearance is pink when wet and dries to a dark red color.
After the first coat has turned red with no blushing or light pink showing, about 11⁄2 to 2 hours, visually inspect the film for integrity and fill any voids or pinholes with additional material and apply a second coat at right angles to the first.
Periodically check film thickness with a wet film gauge.
The combined dried coating needs to be a minimum of 47 mils thick or 93 mils when wet and should not exceed 125 mils wet film thickness.
INTERIOR CHANGE OF PLANE — COMMERCIAL INSTALLATIONS
Many commercial waterproofing installations require reinforcing of interior change of plane.
Contact Technical Support prior to beginning any commercial installation for review and recommendations.
These installations include but are not limited to the following:
• All above grade pools, fountains and other poured in place or free standing structures that will be required to hold water permanently.
• All commercial floors that will be subject to continuous water exposure (i.e. commercial kitchens, wash downs, periodic flooding, etc.)
• All above grade slabs that are either pre-stressed or post tensioned.
• All perimeters where the floor abuts a curtain or shear wall.
• Around the perimeter of all through floor penetrations (i.e.
EXPANSION JOINTS
Do not bridge joints which are designed to experience movement.
Carry these types of joints through the tile work.
Clean the joint and install open or closed cell backer rod to the proper depth as outlined in EJ 171 in the TCA Handbook.
Next, compress a sealant as specified by the architect into the joint, coating the sides and leaving it flush with the surface.
After the sealant is dry, place bond breaker tape over joint.
Apply a minimum 3/64" (1.2 mm) of PRO-RED WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE 963 over the joint and substrate following the instructions detailed in APPLICATION.
Install the tile work onto the membrane but do not bridge the joint. After the tile work is set properly, fill the joint with any specified color sealant, following the architect’s and manufacturer’s instructions.
DRAINS
Drains should have a clamping ring with open weep holes for thin-set application. Apply membrane to the bottom flange.
Drain should be fully supported without movement and even with plane of substrate.
Apply membrane as outlined under APPLICATION. Embed 12" x 12" (30 x 30 cm) fiberglass mesh into membrane making sure it does not obstruct the drainage hole.
Then apply an additional coat of membrane and smooth.
After curing, clamp upper flange onto membrane and tighten.
Caulk around flange where membrane and upper flange make contact with a silicone caulk.
A toilet flange can be handled in much the same manner. (See “Drain Cross Section” on back page.)
PROTECTION
If tile is not going to be set immediately after curing,
PRO-RED WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE 963 should be protected from rain, direct
sunlight and inclement weather for 72 hours
after application.
If delays longer than 72 hours are expected, cover with felt paper. Care should be taken to prevent membrane from becoming soiled or punctured during and after application.
TILE INSTALLATION
Install tile or stone with a C-Cure® polymer-modified mortar meeting ANSI A118.4 or A118.11 standards.
CURING
The product is dry when it turns solid red with no pink showing, normally 11⁄2 to 2 hours.
Depending on ambient conditions, drying time can take up to 12 hours.
A water test can be conducted 72 hours after application if required.
CLEANING
Clean tools and hands with water before material dries.
Clean all spray equipment immediately after use..
