Noble TS membrane and Noble Chloraloy pan liner.
Mapei HPG liquid.
Redguard liquid.
Laticrete Hydroban liquid.
not on the list, maybe not available in the UK.

A point to note, notwithstanding the existing codes, plaster/gypsum of any kind is not acceptable as a substrate in wet areas as it is food for mold and will create toxic mold cultures in those areas eventually in spite of all you do to prevent it.
The way to avoid black mold death is to not give it food in the first place.
Use concrete backer or better yet MgO backer board as it provides no food for mold at all.

An old thread, but interesting to note that I use all the same products as does Alberta. Fortunately, we are moving away from any gypsum in wet areas, but local codes are still able to opt-out.
 
dave, i have switched to granfix for the wet room instillatilon about 2 years ago from bal. 10 years ago i painted a bal 1 product cardboard box with the tanking kit it came in, dropped in a half sheet of mosaic, its still there with the water changed once a month, so it doesnt get mouldy, for crying out loud this is 3 mm cardboard box and still it holds water, they all amount to the same product but i stick with mapei adhesives for adhesision as at the momnent its the best on the market. happy tiling
