BENTONITE WATERPROOFING COMPOUNDS VOLGRIP HP - High Performance PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Self-gripping bentonite membrane for the effective protection against groundwater of structures built with reinforced concrete that is constant, fluctuating or due for demolition. Thanks to the double layer, VOLGRIP + MDPE (polyethylene membrane), it guarantees double protection, also in the presence of high water head, and exceptional self-confinement. PRODUCT APPLICATION • Applications with reinforced concrete castings (beds and foundation walls against diaphragms, sheet pile and Berlinese retaining walls, existing foundations or disposable formwork) in constructions such as garages, cellars, warehouses, safety vaults, taverns, stores, multi-storey car parks, underpasses, tunnels etc with hydraulic load of no more than 5 m Contact Volteco Technical Service for a different use. • Easy and quick application • Natural Sodium Bentonite-based product • Insuperable self-confinement • High impermeability even in difficult sites and in the presence of water with high salinity or polluted • It can be drilled, cut and shaped to adapt to the structure • Natural-based product and, depending on the type of design, it earns points for LEED certification How it works When in contact with water, or just simply in contact with the ground humidity, the natural Sodium Bentonite contained in VOLGRIP HP turns into a waterproof gel through hydration and expands up to 16 times its initial dry volume while remaining waterproof tank to the self-containment implemented by outdoor non-woven textile. The special VOLGRIP HP needle-punching allows perfect self-confinement in such expansion once the casting is carried out (which is very important to obtain high waterproofing). In fact, the fibres of the non-woven textile (on the external side) protrude purposely from the textile (on the internal side) and during the casting, the fibres are embedded into the concrete, thereby resulting in excellent mechanical adhesion of all the product layers to the structure (not simple superficial adhesion). See the diagram. Through the calibrated mesh of the porous textile, the bentonite gel partially extrudes, thereby guaranteeing the seal of the overlaps and preventing water seepage between VOLGRIP HP and the concrete.

BENTONITE WATERPROOFING COMPOUNDS VOLGRIP HP - High Performance This phenomenon also allows the cracks that are normally caused by concrete shrinkage to be selfrepaired. Surfaces that are to be waterproofed can be damp, not necessarily clean but must not have great protrusions, cavities or continuous water flows that could compromise the self-sealing process of the overlaps. The sheets can be folded and cut in any direction. Laying the product under slabs Level the surface with lean concrete. Apply VOLGRIP HP with the textile surface facing upwards, with staggered joints and overlapping the...
