Best in class – Quality & Performance

Our products are engineered and manufactured to the highest quality standards (in primarily Germany/Switzerland) and have been successfully used worldwide with zero product failures.

Independently Tested

Our products are independently tested with exceptional results (German Railway, Swedish Vattenfall, Kiwa accredited testing laboratory, SKZ accredited testing laboratory etc)

We’re greener

We’re green building certified (LEED, BREEAM, Nordic Swan Ecolabel) and our carbon neutral production facility is solar-powered and uses recycled rainwater to minimize our impact on the environment.

We lead through innovation

We only do Structural Waterproofing and where others are happy with good enough, we keep innovating to make waterproofing better, more durable, easier to install and more sustainable. In 2019 we were named one of Germanys Top 100 most innovative companies for the third time in four years (*BPA Gmbh).

Certified and accredited

We’re certified by many of the leading international standards including British, German and US/Canada (ICC-ES).

Over 20 years of excellence in waterproofing

We’ve spent the last two decades helping designers, specifiers and contractors select, design and install the optimal waterproofing for their projects.

CEMTOBENT® DS

Double sealing waterproof membrane

  • Dual waterproof protection – A 3D-PE honeycomb liner and a self-healing, swelling bentonite layer
  • Suitable even in tough conditions due to flowing groundwater
  • May be installed in all weather conditions
  • Environmentally friendly alternative

DOCUMENTATION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

As a first line of defense, a good waterproof membrane will stop water coming into contact with your below ground structure. This is important because concrete will invariably crack, be it from settlement, unequal static forces or during curing. Needless to say, water ingress can cause extensive harm to your structure and internal environments.

Cemtobent® DS is a highly durable waterproofing membrane that will effectively stop pressurized ground water from penetrating your structure.

The membrane will seal small cracks caused by settlement, concrete shrinkage or seismic activity.

Application – Where to use Cemtobent® DS

Typical applications include blind-side waterproofing, backfilled concrete walls, earth covered roofs, structural slabs, tunnels, property line construction including secant and contiguous piling, skin wall, metal sheet piling, shotcrete and stabilized earth retention walls.

Cemtobent® DS is resistant to nitrates, phosphates, chlorides, sulfates, lime and organic solvents.

Note: Where contaminated groundwater or saltwater conditions exist, use Cemtobent CS.

Main areas of application:

Sealing and protection of reinforced concrete in below ground
structures and tunnels. Both vertical and horizontal applications.

  • Sealing and protection of reinforced concrete in below ground structures and tunnels. Both vertical and horizontal applications.
  • Floor slabs and exterior concrete walls
  • Pressurized and non-pressurized water

Technology – How does Cemtobent® DS work?

The sealing process of the bentonite lining system is activated immediately by penetrating water causing a controlled swelling of the bentonite clay within the matrix, forming a dense, impermeable waterproofing membrane.

If the primary sealing (3D-PE-Sheet) is damaged, the exposed bentonite reacts with the incoming water creating an extremely tight and strong, gel-like film, which seals the concrete structure (secondary sealing) and stops any water circulation between the membrane and the concrete.

Even shrinkage cracks are reliably sealed and overbridged.

Installation – Benefits

  • Quick and easy to install without complicated welding equipment
  • May be pre-applied or post-applied
  • Can be installed in all-weather condition or temperature
  • For installation instructions, please refer to Cemtobent® product brochure or contact your local Cemproof technical support

WHY CHOOSE CEMTOBENT® DS?

Superior waterproofing technology

A unique honeycomb cell structure encapsulates the Bentonite, securing equal coverage and protecting it from being washed out. This makes Cemtobent® suitable for use in flowing groundwater conditions

Secures structural integrity – For life

Cemtobent® DS features two separate water-reactive layers that independently will swell, stopping the incoming water and also sealing smaller cracks caused by ground-settlement, concrete shrinkage or seismic activity

Less labor-intensive

Quick and easy to install without complicated welding equipment

May be pre-applied or post-applied

Can be installed in all-weather conditions and temperatures

Main benefits of CEMTOBENT® DS

Protects against pressurized groundwater (5 bar/50 m)
Seals small cracks caused by ground settlement, concrete shrinkage or seismic activity
Rain protected / all-weather installation
