3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Whisper Mat CS is a peel-and-stick
Membrane that reduces impact and airborne
Sound transmissions and isolates finished
flooring from the transfer of subfloor cracks.
Accessory Materials
No. 6000 Primer - This high tack water based
primer is ideal for use on indoor applications.
Available as a concentrate, this primer can be
mixed at the jobsite with clean water or used in
its full concentrate form, depending on the
condition and porosity of the substrate.
Packaging
Whisper Mat CS is available in 36" × 40'
(914 mm × 12.2 m) rolls
Coverage
Whisper Mat CS
Approximate 120 ft2 (13 m2) per roll
Shelf Life
Whisper Mat CS maintains optimum initial
adhesion to substrates when used within one
year from the date of manufacture.
Uses
• For sound control and crack isolation
protection on interior applications
under thin set ceramic and
dimensional stone tile installations
Advantages
• Reduces impact and airborne
Sound transmissions
• Has the flexibility and strength to
withstand structural movement and
concrete shrinkage cracks up to 3/8”
without transferring stress load to
finished tile.
• Can be installed with radiant heat floor
systems
• Provides a Light Commercial Load
Rating
• Anti-microbial coating

Suitable Substrates (Interior Use Only)
• Concrete
• Mortar beds
• Exterior glue plywood
• Cement backer board
• Cement terrazzo
• Ceramic tile and stone
• Oriented strand board (OSB),
Limitations
• Do not apply over marine-grade
plywood, wood plank flooring, particle
board, Luan, Masonite, laminate, metal
or fiberglass surfaces
• Not for use under agglomerate tile,
LVT, cement and epoxy floor topping
systems
• Not for use as a waterproofing
membrane
• Not for use on concrete floors where
hydrostatic pressure exists or where
moisture vapor transmission exceeds
4 lb.
• Do not use under mortar beds thicker
than 3/8”, installations requiring more
than 3/8” of thin-set mortar need to be
raised with a self-leveling compound or
a pre-mortar bed and allowed to cure
prior to installation
• Do not use solvent based sealants or
sealers where contact with membrane
may occur
• Do not install over wet primer
• Existing cracks larger than 3/16" should
be prepared with proper backing
• material prior to installation of
membrane
• Not for use over expansion or structural
movement joints

5. INSTALLATION
Surface Preparation
Subfloor must conform to ANSI A108.01
standards. Assemblies over which AFM Anti
Fracture Membrane will be installed shall be in
conformance with the International Residential
Code (IRC) for residential applications, the
International Building Code (IBC) for
commercial applications, or applicable building
codes.
Perimeter and field movement joints are to be
installed in accordance with TCNA Method
EJ171.

Flooring and membrane must acclimate to
jobsite conditions before installation. Concrete
subfloors must be dry, clean and free of dirt,
grease, wax, paint, oil or anything that would
adversely affect adhesion of the AFM Anti
Fracture Membrane.
Check subfloor for excessive moisture using
ASTM E1869 Standard Test Method for
measuring moisture vapor emission rate of
concrete subfloor using Anhydrous Calcium
Chloride. Readings must be less than 4 lb.
Priming
Always apply the Protecto Wrap No. 6000
Primer to the subfloor and allow to dry
(approximately 30 minutes) before installing the
Whisper Mat-CS to ensure a good bond.
Layout
Unroll Whisper Mat-CS with the release liner
side down. Cut the length approximately 12"
longer than the distance to be covered. Trim
membrane to fit tightly against walls and
cutouts (within ¼”). Fold back half of the length
of the roll back over the other half of the
material. Score through the release liner only
and take care not to cut completely through
membrane.
Application
Pull release liner away from membrane where
scored. As the release liner is pulled away,
hand-smooth the membrane to contact the
primed subfloor. Keep the release liner material
close to the floor while pulling away; this will
allow for a more controlled application of the
membrane. Align membranes in a butt joint
fashion making sure not to overlap seams.
Note - There will be an immediate and
aggressive bond of the membrane to the
primed subfloor. Realignment of the membrane
can be difficult once adherence to the subfloor
begins.
After Whisper Mat CS is installed, is installed,
ceramic, porcelain or stone tiles can be installed
in a 3/8” or less bed of mortar that meets the
ANSI 118.4 standards.
Follow the TCNA and ANSI installation
requirements through the remainder of the
installation.
