Rising groundwater levels, increasing heavy rainfall events or flooding - climate change is clearly showing its consequences and requires us to make far-reaching adjustments. This also applies to the construction industry, which is confronted with growing demands on the durability of buildings. To ensure that new or existing buildings can be used to a high standard in the long term, special attention must be paid to reliable waterproofing right from the planning stage.
This is particularly important for building parts in contact with the ground, such as floor slabs or foundations, as these areas are often exposed to moisture. This can be non-pressing water, e.g., due to high soil moisture, or pressing water, e.g., in the case of accumulating seepage water. This is where PohlCon's diverse range of waterproofing products comes into play.
Safe waterproofing of waterproof structures
The reliable sealing of joints is an elementary factor for the watertightness of structures. PohlCons sealing products are the ideal choice here. They are not only suitable for all types of joints, such as construction and expansion joints or predetermined crack and sound separation joints, but also cover all applications in accordance with the watertightness directive.
The product lines include PENTAFLEX® joint sheets and KUNEX® joint tapes. PohlCon also offers SWELLFLEX® waterstop tapes and PLURAFLEX® injection hoses for primary and secondary waterproofing, as well as SECUFLEX® pre-applied waterproofing system, the necessary waterproofing solution for the White Tank Plus.
Long-proven classics
PENTAFLEX® is suitable for horizontal and vertical construction joints with pressing and non-pressing water and has proven itself in both precast and in-situ concrete construction. The joint sheets are completely coated on both sides with a special coating which, in conjunction with the fresh concrete, reliably prevents water from infiltrating the joint system.
KUNEX® joint tapes are the ideal solution for sealing connecting joints in existing buildings. They are made of thermoplastic (PVC-P) or elastomers (TPE) and seal both vertical and horizontal construction and expansion joints. The profile design of the waterstops creates a circulation extension for the water in the joint, which ensures that the joint is permanently sealed.
