Bentoshield, the same as bentonite clay carpet, is used for insulation of tunnels, hydropower plants, pools and reservoirs, terraces and roofs, columns, underground structures, building foundations and walls. After its installation, a waterproof layer is formed. Bentoshield is indispensable in the case of such a ground where there is a large amount of underground water.
Bentoshield is a specially designed unique waterproofing system that effectively copes with difficulties that cannot be achieved by traditional insulating systems. As a reliable and self-healing waterproofing system, it provides a 100% guarantee of the longevity of the buildings.
Bentoshield contains millions of particles of bentonite clay, which, when placed on top of each other, form a single waterproofing layer. It expands 16 times in contact with water and moisture compared to its dry state. Bentonite mat under pressure (press) between concrete and soil forms a uniform thick and impenetrable mass.
Its expandability makes it possible to fill and repair concrete cracks caused by seismic events, soil and concrete settlement.
