Structureseal
RIW Structureseal is a 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.
When designing Type A structures (as classified in BS8102:1990), the product applied correctly, is capable of providing the levels of protection required for grades 1, 2, 3 & 4 basements.
