Description
What is Proofex
Hydromat?
Robustness
The membrane has a high puncture strength and is selfsealing. This means that when fixing to a wall, you do not
have to worry about sealing the puncture holes as the
specially impregnated bentonite clay will swell and seal
around the fixing when hydrated. For extra security around
pile heads and complex details, additional sodium bentonite
powder is available in 25kg bags.
Compatibility
Proofex Hydromat is part of Fosrocs Total Waterproofing Solution and is
compatible with our range of waterproof grouts, swellable and non-swellable
waterstops, gasproof membranes, drainage membranes and ancillary
products.
Versatility
As a flexible geotextile system, Proofex Hydromat can be
used to protect a range of complex applications such as pipe
entries and corner details. It is ideal for waterproofing
substructures that have been built using secant, contiguous
or steel sheet piling. The flexibility of the geotextile means
that Proofex Hydromat can be fixed directly to a secant pile
wall, without the need for boarding or shuttering the wall to
achieve an even surface.
Sodium bentonite is

the outer geotextile layer
