CETCO’s Building Materials Group produces Volclay Waterproofing Products, which utilise the unique, high-swelling properties of sodium bentonite. This is a clay of volcanic origin with the ability of swelling many times its dry volume when in contact with water. In a confined state this forms a dense, impenetrable gel, that completely locks water and vapour out.
Some of the benefits of the Volclay® Waterproofing System include:
- It is cost-effective compared to traditional waterproofing methods (reduced detailing; ancillary products; installation time / labour costs).
- Voltex® can be installed in all weather conditions, has self-healing / sealing properties and has excellent peel-adhesion / self-bonding to concrete.
- Conforms with BS 8102: 2009 (Type A, all Grades).
- The CETCO service includes: feasability study, independent project-specific technical advice,design guidance / technical drawings, on-site installation training & site inspections, as well as back up from our in-house Research & Development department.
