Rayson SealForce WB20

Rayson SealForce WB20 is a one-part, water-based, polyurethane-modified waterproofing membrane for toilets, showers, bathrooms, balconies and other interior wet areas — rolled or brushed on in two coats and concealed beneath the tiles, screed or render.

Rayson SealForce WB20 pail
Best for

Best for concealed waterproofing before tiling in toilets, bathrooms and wet areas, and beneath the screed on balconies and terraces, where a ready-to-use, low-odour membrane is wanted in an occupied home or building.

SealForce WB20 is Rayson's one-part wet-area membrane: a water-based, polyurethane-modified liquid that is stirred and applied straight from the pail, with no mixing ratio to get wrong and no solvent odour in a closed bathroom. Two coats at 0.4 mm wet film each dry to a seamless, flexible green film that follows the floor into the trap, up the wall turn-ups and around every pipe as one continuous membrane.

The cured film is elastic — elongation of at least 150% and crack-bridging over a 2 mm crack — so it takes the small movement and vibration a floor sees without splitting, and it keeps its strength after heat ageing and immersion in hypochlorite, ammonia and dilute acid. Water penetration under pressure is nil at the specified film build.

It is a concealed membrane by design. Once the ponding test has proved the film, the screed, render or tile bed above protects it; it is not a wearing surface and not for exposed or negative-pressure service. Where a deck must carry vehicles or a roof stays open to the sun, the polyurea membranes in the SealForce range take over.

Typical systems

Toilet or bathroom waterproofing before tiling

  1. Prepare, clean and dry the substrate; remove protrusions and loose material
  2. Roll or brush the first coat of Rayson SealForce WB20 at 0.4 mm wet film; allow 1–2 hours
  3. Apply the second coat at 0.4 mm wet film; add a third where pinholes remain
  4. Ponding test after 24 hours, then protect with screed or render before tiling

Balcony or terrace beneath screed and tiles

  1. Prepare the slab and correct the falls so water cannot pond
  2. Apply two coats of Rayson SealForce WB20 at 0.4 mm wet film each
  3. Ponding test after 24 hours and make good any defect before covering
  4. Lay the protective screed and tile finish

Limitations

  • Concealed membrane — protect with screed, render or tiling after the ponding test; not for exposed or trafficked service
  • Apply only between 10 °C and 45 °C on a dry substrate
  • Not suitable where negative hydrostatic pressure is evident
  • Do not dilute and do not add sand — both reduce flexibility and can cause cracking
  • Provide falls to prevent ponding; carry out the ponding test 24 hours after the final coat
  • Minimum two coats at 0.4 mm wet film each; a third coat may be needed for a pinhole-free film

Not suitable for

  • Exposed roofs, decks or any surface left uncovered — the membrane must be protected
  • Trafficked floors without a wearing system above the membrane
  • Substrates with negative hydrostatic pressure or standing water
  • Application below 10 °C or above 45 °C, or onto damp, dusty or unsound substrates

The practical details

Rayson SealForce WB20: questions people ask

Do I need a primer under SealForce WB20?

No. It is a one-part membrane applied directly to a sound, clean, dry concrete or rendered substrate — there is no separate primer in the system. Preparation does the primer's job: remove loose material, curing compounds and protrusions, and let old concrete dry fully after washing. SealForce AP05, the acrylic primer in the range, belongs to the SealForce AC10 roof and wall system, not to WB20.

How many coats, and how thick?

At least two coats at 0.4 mm wet film each, rolled or brushed straight from the pail, the second 1–2 hours after the first. Add a third coat where the film is uneven or pinholes remain. A 20 kg pail covers about 36 m² per coat.

Can tiles be laid directly on it?

Only after the ponding test, 24 hours after the final coat, has proved the membrane — and always through the screed, render or tile bed that protects it. The membrane is not a wearing surface and must never be left exposed. Rayson SealForce RW1 can be mixed into that screed, render and tile bed to make them stronger and more water-resistant.

What is the difference between SealForce WB20 and SealForce RC30?

WB20 is a one-part, water-based membrane for concealed wet areas — toilets, bathrooms and balconies beneath tiles — chosen for ease of use and low odour in occupied homes. RC30 is a two-component polyurea-based membrane with higher elongation and heat resistance for decks, roofs and heavier-duty wet areas.

Can it be used where water pressure comes from behind the surface?

No. SealForce WB20 is a positive-side membrane and must not be used where negative hydrostatic pressure is evident, such as a basement wall with groundwater behind it. Those conditions need a tanking or crystalline system designed for them.

How long does the job take, and when can the floor be walked on or tiled?

Each coat is touch dry in under 60 minutes at laboratory conditions; the second coat goes on 1–2 hours after the first and is dry in about 4 hours. The flood (ponding) test is carried out 24 hours after the final coat, with light foot traffic only, and the screed or tile bed follows once the test has held. In a typical HDB toilet the membrane is one day of work and the test the next.

Can SealForce WB20 be applied without hacking the tiles?

No. It is a concealed membrane applied to the prepared screed or concrete beneath the tiles, not a coating over them. If the bathroom has failed an HDB or HIP water test, water is already under the tiles and no surface-applied product reaches the failed detail: the tiles come up, the substrate is prepared, and WB20 is applied in two coats and flood-tested before re-tiling. The wet-area guide sets out when a no-hack repair is honest and when it is not.

What should the waterproofing line of a toilet quotation say?

The product by name — Rayson SealForce WB20 — two coats at 0.4 mm wet film each (about 0.56 kg/m² per coat), the turn-up height on every wall and at the door threshold, the detailing at the floor trap, pipe penetrations and wall–floor junction, a 24-hour flood test before tiling, and who carries which warranty: the applicator for workmanship, Rayson for the material, three years against manufacturing defects when applied per the TDS. A quotation that says only "waterproofing" cannot be compared with another.

How much SealForce WB20 does an HDB toilet need?

About 8 to 12 kg for two coats over a typical 3 m² toilet floor with 300 mm turn-ups and a shower wall taken to 1.8 m — under one 20 kg pail, which covers about 18 m² at two coats. Detailing, a third coat on thin patches and wastage set the actual figure; the coverage calculator gives the theoretical quantity for any area.

How long does SealForce WB20 last?

Rayson does not publish a service-life figure for a concealed membrane: the tile bed protects the film, and it is the details that fail, not the field. What the data shows is retention — at least 1.0 N/mm² tensile strength and 120% elongation after ageing at 50 °C and after 72 hours in hypochlorite, ammonia or dilute acid. A bathroom lasts as long as its trap, penetrations and turn-ups were done correctly and flood-tested before the tiles went down.

Is SealForce WB20 available to order now?

SealForce WB20 is part of Rayson's upcoming waterproofing release, and a pre-launch trial batch has already been applied and flood-tested in a Singapore HDB toilet. Send the project details and your required date, and Rayson will confirm supply timing, quantities and, where you need one, an applicator in the Rayson network before you commit.
