Achieve rapid, robust, and compliant waterproofing for diverse internal and external applications with a cutting-edge, water-based membrane. It forms a rain-resistant finish in 3 hours, withstands early ponding water, and offers outstanding weather and UV resistance. This ensures projects stay on schedule, even when conditions are less than ideal.
Gripset Xpress Multi Pro overcomes common frustrations with traditional waterborne waterproofing systems. Lengthy drying times, re-emulsification after early ponding, and washout from unexpected rain can derail a project. This advanced, water-based membrane delivers an ultra-rapid cure, forming a rain-resistant barrier within 3 hours and resisting early ponding without re-emulsification or blistering. It also provides a safer, solvent-free alternative to hazardous solvent-based polyurethane membranes, pushing the boundaries of waterproofing technology for the built environment.
Waterproofing decisions are driven by performance and project timelines. Gripset Xpress Multi Pro delivers a rain-resistant finish in 3 hours, accelerating project timelines and reducing weather-related delays. Its elastomeric Class III elongation of over 300% accommodates significant substrate movement, minimising the risk of membrane failure over time. A low water vapour transmission rate of 6 g/m²/24 hours ensures minimal moisture ingress. This membrane is compliant with AS 4858 for internal wet areas and AS 4654.2 for external above-ground use, providing a robust solution for diverse applications.
Applying Gripset Xpress Multi Pro involves standard brush or roller methods. Surfaces must be clean, sound, and properly primed. For porous substrates, use Gripset GP Primer. Non-porous surfaces require Gripset OP Primer. Critically, for green or damp substrates, the system supports specific primers like Xpress Primer H2O Plus or Gripset E60 to manage residual moisture and reduce waiting times. Recoat times are 1-2 hours. Cleanup is straightforward with water while the membrane is wet; dried product requires mechanical removal.
This membrane is engineered for demanding waterproofing scenarios, especially where rapid return to service and long-term durability are critical. It excels as an exposed membrane finish on roofs and parapets, or under screeds and toppings, providing robust protection against constant weather and UV exposure. It is also an effective solution for internal wet areas, including bathrooms, laundries, and tiled floors. The product is also specified as a liquid membrane sealant option for critical detailing on balconies, podiums, door/window reveals, and flashings, providing a reliable barrier at these vulnerable points.
Gripset Xpress Multi Pro is often the final liquid membrane layer in a comprehensive waterproofing system. For balconies and decks, it frequently follows the application of other critical components like Prefabricated Corners and Gripset 38FC Waterproofing Membrane, ensuring a complete and integrated waterproofing envelope. This placement means it seals and protects the entire system against environmental exposure, providing the necessary weather and UV resistance.
Yes, this membrane is designed for exposed roof applications. Its UV and weather resistance, combined with early rain protection in 3 hours, makes it suitable for external surfaces without additional coverings, or under screeds and toppings.
Apply this product when the surface temperature is between 5°C and 30°C. Applying outside this range can affect cure times and the final performance of the membrane, potentially leading to issues.
Yes, it complies with AS 4858 for internal wet areas and AS 4654.2 for external above-ground applications. This provides the necessary assurance for building code compliance and project specification requirements.
Gripset Xpress Multi Pro forms a rain-resistant finish in just 3 hours and withstands early ponding water. This significantly reduces the risk of re-emulsification or washout from unexpected weather, protecting your work.

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry (or appropriately primed for moisture), sound, and free of laitance, dust, grease, coatings, moss, or contaminants that could impair adhesion.
Mechanically clean with vacuum or pressure air. Prime with Gripset GP Primer.
Use Xpress H2O Plus primer or Gripset E60 for surfaces exceeding 80% RH or 5% MC. Perform ASTM F2170 or F2659 tests as required.
All joints, transitions, penetrations, and drainage points must be correctly sealed before membrane application using suitable detailing materials.
Embed band into wet coat of membrane, press out air pockets, and top-coat immediately.
Apply dry tape over joints, remove release liner, press firmly using a roller or spatula, then apply membrane over the top.
Apply Gripset Xpress Multi Pro in multiple coats to achieve required film build for the exposure and service conditions.
Apply 2 coats at 750 microns wet film per coat (1.5L/m² total) for a minimum 0.8mm dry film thickness.
Apply 3 coats at 750/750/500 microns wet film (2L/m² total) to achieve 1.0mm dry film. Use perpendicular strokes per coat.
After full membrane cure, tiling or screeding can be performed using compatible adhesives or screed systems.
Use polymer-modified cement adhesives such as Gripset C-LITE, C-RUBBER, or C-MASTIC.
Incorporate Gripset 11Y or use Gripset C-BED screed system for enhanced bond to membrane.
Wear safety shoes, overalls, and safety glasses. Nitrile rubber gloves are suitable for intermittent contact. Wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking, or using the toilet.
Natural ventilation is adequate under normal use conditions.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, out of direct sunlight. Keep containers closed and avoid freezing conditions. Shelf life is 12 months in original unopened packaging. Dispose of material and containers according to local regulations; wet product can be cleaned with water, dried product requires mechanical removal.
Correct surface preparation and priming are crucial for the adhesion and long-term performance of Gripset Xpress Multi Pro.
Surface prep: All surfaces must be clean, sound, smooth, and dry, free from loose material, dirt, dust, oil, grease, wax, laitance, or existing coatings. Mechanically remove structurally unsound layers. Point masonry flush, and fill voids, holes, and non-structural cracks. Concrete requires at least 28 days cure, and cement render or screeds require at least 7 days cure.
