BentoShield Max Protex – Bentonite with Extra Protection
Protex Bentoshield Max
Developed for foundation and retaining wall waterproofing applications, BentoShield Max Protex delivers reliable performance, particularly in rocky and challenging soil conditions. Its additional protective layer enhances the waterproofing system's resistance to puncture, abrasion, and other mechanical stresses that may occur during installation.
Thanks to its durable geocomposite structure, the product adapts to various foundation and retaining wall applications and helps limit water penetration into structural elements. It offers a long-lasting, active, and reliable waterproofing solution for industrial structures and projects requiring high mechanical protection.
BentoShield Max Protex – Bentonite with Extra Protection Functions
BentoShield Max Protex is a composite waterproofing system consisting of polymer-modified sodium bentonite, high-strength geotextiles, and an additional protective layer. While its self-healing bentonite structure forms an active hydraulic barrier, the protective layer enhances resistance against puncture and mechanical damage in rocky or challenging soil conditions. It provides long-lasting and reliable waterproofing for foundation and retaining wall applications.
Active Waterproofing
Upon contact with water, polymer-modified bentonite swells to form an active hydraulic barrier with low permeability, limiting the passage of water into structural elements.
Extra Mechanical Protection
The additional protective layer enhances the durability of the waterproofing system against the risks of puncture, abrasion, and mechanical damage that may occur on rocky and challenging terrain.
Adapts to Challenging Terrains
Thanks to its durable composite structure, it adapts to uneven ground conditions exposed to mechanical stresses, supporting long-term performance in foundation and curtain wall applications.
Extra-Protection Waterproofing for Challenging Surfaces
BentoShield Max Protex is a composite bentonite waterproofing material enhanced with an additional protective layer for use in challenging ground conditions, such as rocky terrain. While its bentonite structure swells upon contact with water to form an active hydraulic barrier, the extra protective layer increases resistance against puncture, abrasion, and mechanical damage. It provides long-lasting and reliable waterproofing for foundation and retaining wall applications.
Bentoshield Max Protex Features
- Its additional protective layer enhances mechanical strength on rocky and challenging terrain.
- It helps reduce the risk of damage caused by puncture and friction.
- It swells upon contact with water, forming an active hydraulic barrier.
- By establishing a mechanical bond with the concrete, it restricts the movement of water between the concrete and the waterproofing layer.
- It can be applied directly onto compacted ground.
- It may contribute to reducing the need for an additional protective layer.
- It provides long-term waterproofing for foundation and curtain wall applications.
- It helps close small gaps in the insulation layer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is BentoShield Max Protex?
BentoShield Max Protex is a composite waterproofing material consisting of polymer-modified sodium bentonite, high-strength geotextiles, and an additional protective layer.
In which areas is BentoShield Max Protex used?
It can be used in challenging ground conditions—such as those that are stony, irregular, or prone to mechanical damage—particularly for under-slab and reinforced concrete shear wall waterproofing.
What is the function of the additional protective layer?
The protective layer helps reduce the risk of puncture, abrasion, and other mechanical damage that may occur during application.
How does BentoShield Max Protex self-heal?
Bentonite swells upon contact with water due to hydration. This property contributes to the sealing of small voids and limited damage within the insulation layer.
How does BentoShield Max Protex provide waterproofing?
The swelling bentonite layer forms an active hydraulic barrier with low permeability, limiting the passage of water to the structural elements.
What should be considered during the application of BentoShield Max Protex?
The application surface must be prepared, and overlapping and fixing operations must be carried out in accordance with technical details. Product selection and the application method should be determined based on site conditions, water pressure, and project requirements.
