Protex PolyLock



Protex PolyLock
Protex PolyLock is a versatile, new-generation waterproofing system specially developed for tunnel insulation. It provides strong protection by combining self-healing polymer-modified sodium bentonite granules with an impermeable PE film and an active polymer layer. It forms an active layer throughout the structure's lifetime.
Functions
Once hydrated, BentoShield swells to form an effective hydraulic barrier that is impermeable to liquids, water vapor, and gases. With a thickness of less than one centimeter, it offers better hydraulic performance than compressed clay used in storage areas, which is several meters thick.

Separation
A first in tunnel insulation: self-healing capability!
Protex PolyLock is a new generation composite insulation system consisting of polymer-modified sodium bentonite granules, specifically developed for tunnel insulation, combined with a passive PE film layer and active polymer layers. Protex PolyLock is the only insulation system that fully adapts to the challenging conditions inside tunnels, providing flawless insulation by performing its function within the system throughout the structure's lifetime.
Features
- It combines three insulation layers: two active and one passive.
- Provides flawless insulation under dynamic conditions
- It does not require protection due to its resistance to punctures and its self-healing structure.
- It becomes an integral part by bonding with the concrete. No subsequent injection is required.
- It adapts to problematic surfaces and does not tear during concrete pouring.
- It is resistant to contaminated groundwater conditions.
- It can be safely applied in areas with high humidity and active water flow.
