Voltex® DS
Product Description
Bentonite-Geotextile Waterproofing With Integrated Polyethylene Liner
The Voltex DS composite is comprised of two
high strength geotextiles, 1.10-lbs. of sodium bentonite per square
foot (the most bentonite in any commercially available waterproofing
product), and an integrated polyethylene liner. The two geotextiles are
interlocked by a patented needlepunching process which encapsulates and
holds the granular bentonite in place and assures a consistent
application of material.
Voltex DS is ideal for waterproofing under
slabs and property line applications. Under slabs, Voltex DS 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. For
property line applications, Voltex DS is simply installed against the
retention wall and then the concrete is poured directly against it
using a single sided form. Other applications include backfilled
concrete foundation walls, shotcrete, and cut-and-cover tunnels.
Installation of Voltex DS is fast and easy.
Simply place into position and secure with a washer head mechanical
fastener. 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 DS, 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 DS is certified by NSF International
to conform with the requirements of NSF Standard 61 – Drinking Water
System Components – Health effects. Voltex DS 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 DS is available with a contaminant resistant Volclay
sodium bentonite – Voltex DSCR.
With the durability of the needlepunched
composite and low vapor transmission of the geomembrane, Voltex DS
offers major construction advantages over adhered sheet membrane and
fluid applied waterproofing.
Roll Size and Packaging: Voltex DS is
supplied in 4-ft. by 14.5-ft. (1.2 x 4.4 m) rolls that contain
1.10-lbs. of granular bentonite per square foot (5.2 kg/sq m). Each
pallet contains 35 rolls.
