Housing Tue, May 27, 2025 1:38 PM

In the ever-evolving construction and renovation industry, durability, efficiency, and reliability remain top priorities.

Fassa Bortolo, a brand synonymous with innovation and quality in building solutions, offers a comprehensive line of primers and waterproofing products that meet the highest performance standards.

Among their most acclaimed products are the DG 74 primer and the Aquazip range - Aquazip Fast, Aquazip MO 660, and Aquazip RDY.

Together, these solutions ensure superior adhesion, effective waterproofing, and long-lasting protection for both indoor and outdoor applications.

DG 74 Primer: the foundation of reliability

A crucial component in preparing substrates for coatings and waterproofing, DG 74 is a water-based primer specifically designed to improve adhesion on non-absorbent surfaces. Its formulation promotes deep penetration and enhances bonding strength between the surface and subsequent layers.

DG 74 is especially effective on smooth or low-porosity substrates like existing tiles, concrete, and cementitious screeds, making it ideal for both renovation projects and new builds. Quick-drying and easy to apply, this primer ensures a solid foundation for any waterproofing or tiling system.

Aquazip Fast: speed and strength combined

Aquazip Fast is a two-component, rapid-drying cementitious waterproofing membrane that excels in time-sensitive projects. Suitable for terraces, balconies, bathrooms, and swimming pools, it forms a flexible yet durable barrier that resists water ingress while accommodating slight substrate movements. Its fast-curing properties allow for tiling just hours after application, reducing downtime significantly.

Whether used indoors or outdoors, Aquazip Fast ensures a robust and watertight seal in areas exposed to continuous moisture.

Aquazip MO 660: superior performance for demanding conditions

Designed for high-performance waterproofing, Aquazip MO 660 is a two-component, elastic cementitious membrane perfect for areas that require exceptional crack-bridging capabilities. This product is particularly suited for concrete structures such as foundations, retaining walls, and underground tanks where structural movement is expected.

It resists aggressive weather conditions, UV exposure, and water pressure - making it ideal for long-term protection in both civil and industrial settings. Its elasticity and strength guarantee peace of mind even in the most challenging environments.

Aquazip RDY: ready-to-use convenience

For quick and efficient waterproofing, Aquazip RDY is a one-component, ready-to-use membrane that simplifies the application process without compromising on quality. Ideal for smaller projects or maintenance work, it is especially effective in bathrooms, kitchens, and wet rooms.

With no mixing required, Aquazip RDY minimizes preparation time and material waste while ensuring consistent results. Its versatility and ease of use make it a preferred choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

In conclusion, Fassa Bortolo’s range of primers and waterproofing solutions addresses the diverse needs of modern construction, from large-scale infrastructure to residential upgrades. DG 74 ensures optimal surface preparation, while the Aquazip line provides targeted waterproofing solutions tailored for speed, strength, flexibility, or simplicity.

Together, they form an essential toolkit for building professionals dedicated to quality, performance, and long-term durability. With Fassa Bortolo, peace of mind is built into every layer.
