  • Under slab bonded membrane.

Description

A CE marked waterproofing composite of high swelling sodium bentonite encapsulated between a non-woven and woven geotextile. A needle-punch process interlocks the geotextiles together forming an extremely strong composite that maintains a consistent layer of bentonite, as well as protecting it from inclement weather and construction related damage. When wetted, unconfined bentonite can swell up to 15 times its dry volume. When confined under pressure within a structure, the swelling is controlled, forming a dense, monolithic, impervious waterproofing membrane.


Features and benefits:

  • Pre-applied tanking systems.
  • Suitable for wet weather and low temperature applications.
  • Quick and easy to apply.
  • Does not require additional drainage or protection.
  • Primers and adhesives not required.


Fixing to vertical/ sloping surfaces:

RIW Washers as required, to suit background.

Fixing on horizontal surfaces:

RIW Staples, through laps, at maximum 400 mm centres.

Joint laps:

Side and end laps minimum 100 mm are recommended; end joints staggered. Sealing not required.

Accessories:

RIW Waterstop, RIW Sealing Compound and RIW Granules.
