SWELLTITE® - Waterproofing Geomembrane liner
Verified by manufacturer 1 month ago
A composite bentonite waterproofing system.
Application
Typical below-ground applications include:
- Backfilled concrete walls.
- Masonry block walls.
- Earth-covered roofs.
- Tunnel roofs.
Typical above ground split-slab construction applications include:
- Plaza decks.
- Parking decks.
- Balconies.
Additionally, SWELLTITE can be used for interior split-slab applications for mechanical rooms, kitchens, and laboratory facilities. Applications may include structures under continuous or intermittent hydrostatic pressure.
Description
A waterproofing composite of sodium bentonite compound integrally bonded to a geomembrane liner. This composition combines the active waterproofing benefits of sodium bentonite with the strength and puncture resistance of a thick geomembrane liner.
Features and benefits:
- The reactive bentonite compound can expand to seal small punctures in the membrane.
- Factory controlled thickness of 2 mm.
- Engineered composite consists of a thick geomembrane liner and bentonite compound with a clear release film attached.
- Contains virtually zero VOC and can be installed to green concrete.
- Designed for below-ground vertical and horizontal structural foundation surfaces, as well as above ground split-slab construction.
- Additionally, SWELLTITE can be used for interior split-slab applications for mechanical rooms, kitchens, and laboratory facilities.
- Applications may include structures under continuous or intermittent hydrostatic pressure.
