Laticrete Releases New Liquid Rubber Anti-Fracture Polymer

Laticrete, a manufacturer of construction solutions for the building industry, has launched Fracture Ban SC, a thin, load-bearing, self-curing liquid rubber polymer that can be easily applied in a single coat to form a flexible seamless anti-fracture membrane. Fracture Ban SC is rapid drying and cures between one and two hours, increasing productivity and reducing downtime for installers. As a single-component, single coat material, it also decreases strain on inventory as it requires less material to complete a project. Fracture Ban SC can be applied directly to tile, brick and stone without the need for fabric, providing anti-fracture protection of up to 1/8 inch (3 millimeters) over shrinkage and other non-structural cracks.

“The durability and ease of use that Fracture Ban SC provides makes it a valuable resource for contractors needing a quick anti-fracture solution without compromising quality. Possessing rapid-curing technology, coupled with the ability to be applied in a single coat, this new anti-fracture membrane effectively shortens installation time and aids construction professionals working with compressed schedules and controlled jobsite access in the midst of a pandemic,” said Dustin Prevete, Laticrete senior product manager. “Fracture Ban SC is also equipped with Microban Antimicrobial Protection, fulfilling a growing demand in the construction industry for materials that inhibit the growth of microbes including bacteria, mold and mildew.”
