Voltex®
Product Description
The World's Leading Bentonite-Geotextile Waterproofing System
Voltex is a highly effective
waterproofing composite comprised of two high strength geotextiles and
1.10-lbs. of sodium bentonite per square foot; the most bentonite in
any commercially available waterproofing product. The two geotextiles
are interlocked by a proprietary needlepunching process which
encapsulates and holds the granular bentonite in place and assures a
consistent material application.
Voltex is ideal for waterproofing under
slabs and property line applications. Under slabs, Voltex can be
installed directly over a properly prepared substrate without the need
of a concrete mud slab. Its durable composite construction resists
damage from tradesman installing reinforcing steel over it and
inclement weather.
For property line applications, Voltex is simply
installed directly to the retention wall and then the concrete is
poured directly against it using a single sided form. Other
applications include backfilled concrete foundation walls and
cut-and-cover tunnels.
Installation of Voltex is fast and
easy. Simply place into position and secure with washer head
mechanical fasteners. Voltex can be installed to green concrete
without primers or adhesives, in virtually any weather, including
freezing temperatures and damp conditions. When concrete is poured
against Voltex, a tenacious mechanical bond yielding an average
adhesion value of 15 pounds per linear inch (15 pli) is created by the
wet concrete solidifying around the geotextile fibers.
Voltex is certified by NSF
International to conform with the requirements of NSF Standard 61 –
Drinking Water System Components – Health effects. Voltex is certified
as an external protective barrier material for potable water concrete
tanks with a 1,000 gallon (3,780 l) capacity or greater.
For contaminated water or salt-water
conditions, Voltex is available with a contaminant resistant Volclay
sodium bentonite – Voltex CR.
With the durability of the
needlepunched composite and the ability to self-heal, Voltex offers
major construction advantages over adhered sheet membrane and fluid
applied waterproofing.
Roll Size and Packaging: Voltex is
supplied in 4-ft. by 15-ft. (1.2 x 4.5 m) rolls that contain 1.10-lbs.
of granular bentonite per square foot (5.2 kg/sq m). Each pallet
contains 35 rolls.
