RTS Under Tile System is a non-reinforced waterproofing system designed for use on applications that are to receive tile. The high elongation properties do not require reinforcement typical of other similar systems.
RTS Under Tile System
PMMA/PUMA system providing moisture protection for applications under thinset tile
System Overview
The Innovacoatings RTS Under Tile System uses PMMA/PUMA technology to provide a system which can return to service as soon as one hour after installation, and can be installed in temperatures down to 20°F/-7°C. The high elongation properties of the PMMA/PUMA materials do not require reinforcement typical of other similar systems.
The system features our RTS 200 Membrane and our 300 RTS Flexible Body Coat with 7992 sand aggregate. The system provides excellent waterproofing performance and provides the grip necessary for thin-set tile installation.

Technical Documents
How long does the RTS Under Tile System need to cure before installing setting bed material?
Setting bed material can be applied one hour after the Flexible Body Coat (300 RTS) has been applied, even in cold temperatures.
What type concrete curing compounds can be used with RTS systems?
Water cure concrete or use a sodium silicate curing compound. Acrylic or other film forming compounds will create issues with bonding and must be removed.
What is the minimum temperature at which RTS systems can be applied?
RTS materials can be applied in temperatures as low as 20°F/-7°C. With special instructions it can be applied in colder temperatures.
Can RTS systems be applied during hot temperatures?
RTS materials can be applied hot weather; however, avoid applying in direct sunlight.
