WHAT IS ELASTOBOND?
ElastoBond is a liquid polymer to be mixed with Cemcrete’s MatCrete powder to create a tough, flexible, UV resistant waterproofing membrane. It is suitable for waterproofing shower recesses, external decks, planter boxes and flat roofs where there is light foot traffic.

Specifications
Suitable Surfaces |
Parapet walls (to create capping), as well as cantilevered areas (to waterproof) Light trafficked rooftops, walkways and decks. In these areas occasional foot traffic is permitted Planter boxes, retaining walls and basements NOT subjected to rising damp Bathrooms, shower recesses, laundries, and all wet areas requiring a tiled finish. Swimming pools and wading pools when covered with tiles or decorative toppings. Water containment areas such as water features, ponds and fountains. Roofs, walls and floors, over concrete, cement render, marine plywood, metal, pre-cleaned galvanized iron, fibre cement sheets and exterior grade plasterboard |
Thickness |
Dependent on what it is mixed with |
Application |
Brush-on |
Packaging |
1, 5 & 20 litre containers |
Coverage |
Coverage is approximately 10m² per 20 litres of ElastoBond mixed with 20kg MatCrete at 2 - 3mm cured film thickness |
Curing |
Usually within 24 - 36 hours, depending on humidity, ambient temperatures and surface porosity. The ElastoBond mixture dries by reaction between powder and liquid, moisture evaporation and absorption into the substrate, so allow longer for surfaces with low porosity. Allow ElastoBond mixture to cure before subjecting the floor to light foot traffic (at least 24 hours). Do not use showers for at least 72 hours after application of ElastoBond mixture. This ensures application is thoroughly cured |
Colour/s |

Q: Is it easy to apply?
A: Yes, it can be used for DIY applications. You can work it easily into the tile joints using a tiler’s squeegee or sponge float. Then just wait for ± 2 hours and then clean the tiles using a damp sponge.
Q: How do you know how much grouting you will need?
A: It really depends on factors such as the thickness of your tiles, the size of your tiles, area too be tiled and the make-up of the grouting etc. Cemcrete uses a volumetric formula to assist you in achieving reasonable accuracy which can be found on the datasheet.
