Volclay Swelltite

by Cetco

SWELLTITE® Composite Bentonite Waterproofing System offers superior performance by combining the active waterproofing benefits of sodium bentonite with the strength and durability of a thick geomembrane liner. Unlike other membrane systems that require precise installation, SWELLTITE’s reactive bentonite compound can expand to seal small punctures in the membrane. SWELLTITE works by forming a continuous membrane upon hydration with water or vapour. When confined under pressure, the swell is controlled, forming a dense, positive seal against the concrete.

SWELLTITE features a virtually zero VOC waterproofing membrane composite. It’s comprised of a thick layer of sodium bentonite compound that’s bonded between a tough geomembrane liner and a clear poly siliconized release liner.

Whether a structure is under continuous or intermittent hydrostatic pressure, SWELLTITE is a proven and reliable barrier against water. Bonding an active bentonite layer between tough, puncture-resistant geomembrane layers, SWELLTITE combines both passive and active barriers to substantially reduce the possibility for leaks.

Features

Flexible

SWELLTITE is comprised of a thick layer of sodium bentonite compound that’s bonded between a tough geomembrane liner and a clear poly siliconized release liner to provide flexibility.

Fast and Easy to Install

SWELLTITE comes ready to install allowing for faster and easy installation speeding up the construction process and can be applied to new or existing structures.

No Priming

SWELLTITE can be applied to a damp or wet surface, no priming required.

Applied to Wet Substrate

Unlike most membranes, SWELLTITE does not require a dry substrate to be installed.

No Curing Time

No curing time means it can be applied to green concrete.

Durable and Self-Sealing

SWELLTITE is extremely durable and self-sealing—there are no worries about the inevitable small cuts and punctures that always occur on construction sites.

Ideal Membrane for:

Masonry block walls, Erected concrete walls, Precast panels, Insitupoured walls, Ground beams, Internal leaks when confinement can be achieved

Performance

Swelltite is designed for waterproofing below-grade vertical and horizontal structural surfaces, as well as, above grade split-slab construction used with plaza areas, parking garages and sports stadiums. Swelltite is excellent for:

  • Below-grade masonry block walls
  • Cut & Cover Tunnels
  • Masonry Block Foundation Walls
  • Concrete Foundation Walls
  • Earth-covered Structures
  • B2 DURABILITY: Performance B2.3.1 (a) not less than 50 years.

LIMITATIONS

Swelltite should be installed on properly prepared surfaces with confinement, using smooth cast-in-place concrete and removable forms, and is not suitable for unconfined above-grade applications, standing water, or during precipitation; compatibility testing is required for groundwater with high acidity or conductivity, and installation should only occur in dry conditions.
