DRACO VOLTEX DS®

VOLTEX® DS is a highly effective waterproofing composite of high strength geotextiles and 5 kg/m2 of sodium bentonite with integrated polyethylene liner.‎ The high swelling, low permeable sodium bentonite is encapsulated between a non-woven and woven geotextile.‎ A proprietary needlepunch process interlocks the geotextiles together forming an extremely strong composite that maintains the equal coverage of bentonite and protects it from extreme weather conditions and construction related damage.‎ Once backfilled, VOLTEX® DS hydrates and forms a monolithic waterproofing membrane.‎ VOLTEX® DS contains zero VOCs, can be installed in almost any weather condition to green concrete, and most importantly, has proven effective on both new and remedial waterproofing projects.‎ Advantages: Self-repair capability; Compactness and uniformity of the bentonite layer; Mechanical adhesion to the casting; Easy to apply; Joint safety; Effective in structures subject to continuous or intermittent hydrostatic pressure; Self-confinement and double protection.‎ Uses: Surfaces of foundations and both horizontal and vertical underground structures, subject to continuous or intermittent hydrostatic pressure; Structural slabs, slabs, underground constructions; Backfilled concrete walls, tunnels, retention walls, shotcrete and reinforced earth retention walls; Application on piles and piling systems, soldier piles and lagging; Cellars, garages, taverns, technical rooms, underground in general; Applications on irregular substrates.‎ Further info from manufacturer on VOLTEX DS® DRACO
