WATERPROOFING LINE
Active waterproofing of foundations, grade slabs and below-ground structures
» Waterproofing of foundations and concrete structures including below-ground works with bentonite-based technology
» VOLTEX®
WATER-ACTIVATED SELF-BONDING BENTONITE WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE.
VOLTEX® is a highly effective waterproofing composite system made of high strength geotextiles and 5 kg/m2 of sodium bentonite. The high swelling, low permeable sodium bentonite is encapsulated between a non-woven and a woven geotextile. A patented needle-punching process interlocks the geotextiles, forming an extremely strong composite that maintains a uniform coverage of bentonite and ensures protection against bad weather and construction-related damage. After confinement, VOLTEX® hydrates and creates a monolithic waterproofing membrane. VOLTEX® has a COV content equal to zero, can be installed in almost any atmospheric condition on fresh concrete and has proved to be particularly effective both in new waterproofing works and in repairs to existing waterproofing.
