Fortium 101 HydroStop

The Fortium 101 HydroStop from Nerpel is a PEFC-certified virgin kraft floor protection paper, specially designed for demanding painting and decorating sites. Its unique water-repellent treatment enables it to resist liquid spills by delaying their penetration, whilst absorbing moisture and recovering its mechanical strength after drying. Equipped with two integrated adhesive tapes, it offers quick and secure fixing to the floor, reducing slip risks and optimising site preparation time.

Technical characteristics

PEFC-certified virgin kraft paper, eco-responsible and recyclable
Anti-moisture treatment conferring water-repellent and breathable properties
Two integrated masking tapes for rapid floor fixing
High resistance to tearing, friction and movement, even when wet
Absorbs moisture and recovers its initial qualities after drying
Flexible and manageable, facilitating transport and application
Available in rolls of 0.90 m × 20 m and 0.90 m × 45 m
Optimised waste management thanks to recyclable material

Application advice

Before installation, ensure the floor is clean, dry and free from dust or gravel that could puncture the paper. Careful sweeping or vacuuming guarantees optimal adhesion of the masking strips and extends the protection's lifespan during the site works.

Unroll the Fortium 101 HydroStop over the surface to be protected, positioning the two integrated adhesive tapes along the edges. Press firmly on these adhesives to ensure stable fixing and prevent any displacement during works, particularly during frequent foot traffic. For large surfaces, place several strips side by side with a slight overlap. The paper's flexibility facilitates cutting with scissors or a cutter and allows easy navigation around obstacles such as radiators, door frames or skirting boards.

The breathable nature of Fortium 101 HydroStop prevents condensation under the paper, making it particularly suitable for long-term sites or during humid seasons. Its water-repellent treatment effectively protects against water splashes or diluted paint. Once works are complete, carefully remove the paper starting with the adhesive edges to preserve the floor covering's integrity. Used paper can be recycled in accordance with local legislation in force for paper waste.

Pro tips

On long-term sites, take advantage of the Fortium 101 HydroStop's unique ability to recover its mechanical strength after drying: in case of significant spillage, allow the paper to dry before resuming work rather than replacing it immediately. This property helps reduce material consumption and optimises site waste management.

For high-traffic areas or door thresholds, reinforce the fixing by adding extra masking tape on the outer edges, beyond the two integrated adhesives. This simple precaution prevents gradual corner lifting and maintains hermetic protection throughout the duration of works. On irregular surfaces such as grouted tiles, firm pressure on the adhesive strips guarantees maximum adhesion and limits infiltration under the paper.

FAQ

Is Fortium 101 HydroStop truly waterproof?

The paper is water-repellent, meaning it resists liquid spills by delaying their penetration, but it is not completely waterproof. It provides effective protection against common splashes and spray from paint or water, whilst remaining breathable to prevent condensation. For prolonged protection against large amounts of liquid, clean up major spills quickly.

Can Fortium 101 HydroStop be reused after a first project?

Yes, its robust design and ability to regain resistance after drying allow for reuse if the paper is not too soiled or torn. Let it dry completely after use, then roll it up carefully for your next project. This reuse optimises cost and reduces environmental impact.

What surface area does a roll of 0.90 m × 20 m cover?

A roll of 0.90 m × 20 m covers 18 m² in standard application. The 0.90 m × 45 m format covers 40.5 m². Allow for 10 to 15% extra material for overlaps, cuts around obstacles and areas requiring reinforcement.

Do the integrated adhesive tapes leave traces on the floor?

The masking tape integrated in Fortium 101 HydroStop is designed for temporary fixing without leaving residues on most common floor coverings (tiles, sealed parquet, vinyl). On fragile or recently treated surfaces, test the adhesion on a small area before full application and remove the paper carefully after use.

Is Fortium 101 HydroStop suitable for protecting old parquet?

Yes, its flexibility and breathable nature make it an excellent choice for old or fragile parquet. The water-repellent treatment provides effective protection against water splashes, whilst breathability prevents moisture accumulation under the paper, preserving the wood's integrity. Ensure the parquet is dry before laying and remove the paper as soon as work is complete.
