00 44 + (0) 7701315742 Website

Application

Suitable for below ground applications such as backfilled cast-in-place concrete and property line construction such as contiguous/ secant piling and steel sheet piling.

Applications include:

  • Foundation walls.
  • Earth-covered structures.
  • Under slab.
  • Tunnels.

Description

An active polymer waterproofing membrane, suitable in a wide range of ground contaminates, including high-saline

conditions. Unlike passive membranes when used alone, the self-sealing ability of the active XP technology enables the ULTRASEAL® XP waterproofing membrane to seal minor cuts or damage to the membrane.


Features and benefits:

  • Suitable as waterproofing protection for structural concrete surfaces under continuous hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic or intermittent hydrostatic conditions, including high-saline and contaminated environments.
  • Works by forming a low permeability membrane upon contact withwater.
  • When hydrated, the unconfined membrane can swell many times its dry volume.
  • When confined by backfill or concrete the swell is controlled, forming a dense, impervious waterproofing membrane.
  • This swelling action can seal small concrete cracks caused by ground settlement and concrete shrinkage.
  • When concrete is poured against the XP geotextile side, ULTRASEAL® XP forms a strong mechanical bond.
  • Contains zero VOCs, and can be installed in almost any weather condition directly to green concrete.
  • The membrane can be continued under the floor slab to provide a continuous, uniform waterproofing system.
