HydroGel is a horizontally- and vertically-applied single component, 99% solid, highly elastomeric, hot spray-applied polymer rubber gel (though it can also be applied via pour or squeegee method) with exceptional adhesive properties. HydroGel is used for both pre- and post-applied waterproofing systems for above- and below-grade construction. Its superior flexibility, adhesiveness and self-healing characteristics make Hydrogel the ideal choice for effective, permanent waterproofing. HydroGel can be applied to green concrete, reducing overall project time and costs.
HydroGel Composite Waterproofing System: combines a spray-applied polymer rubber gel membrane with a durable HDPE protection sheet. This system protects the polymer rubber gel and provides an immediately trafficable surface for follow-on trades.
The protection sheets range from fleece-backed and non-fleece HDPE sheets (GFG20X & GFG16), drainage composites, bentonite carpets and protection boards. The flexibility of the polymer rubber gel, combined with the durability of the various protection sheets, creates a high-performance, substrate-responsive waterproofing system. This component makes it ideal for construction where seismic events, foundation settlement, structural vibration/movement and thermal cycling conditions are a concern. HydroGel benefits include:
- Single component spray-applied application with instantaneous adhesion ensures timely project completion with minimal substrate preparation.
- Immediate placement of topping materials or backfill is possible.
- Applies to green concrete; no surface primer necessary.
- Low odor during application.
- State of California VOC compliant.
- Unique polymer rubber gel physical characteristics including self-healing, self-sealing, superior flexibility and adhesive properties.
- No material loss in application as a 99% solids material.
- Composite waterproofing system creates dual protection of sheet and polymer rubber gel membrane.
- Composite polymer rubber gel assembly dynamically responds to substrate movement and provides double protection with HDPE protection sheet and polymer rubber gel membrane.
- Excellent substrate conforming ability allows versatility of application for both new and restoration waterproofing applications.
- Environmentally durable to soil contaminants and adverse soil conditions.
