CCW MiraCLAY GM Bentonite Clay Waterproofing Membrane with a GeoMembrane Liner is a high-performance, needle-punched, thermally reinforced waterproofing solution specifically designed for below-grade structural slabs and various retention wall systems. This membrane features a unique combination of sodium bentonite clay encased between a puncture-resistant non-woven geotextile and a slit film woven geotextile, with an HDPE film added for enhanced hydraulic conductivity.
Features and Benefits:
– Self-Healing: Bentonite clay has the ability to self-seal if ripped or punctured, providing continuous waterproofing protection.
– High Chemical Resistance: Offers excellent resistance to a range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and hydrocarbons.
– Crack Bridging: Capable of expanding to seal minor concrete cracks up to 1/16″ wide.
– Durable Construction: Features a polyethylene membrane for added waterproofing and is certified by NSF for safety and efficacy.
– Versatile Applications: Ideal for use in new construction, rehabilitation projects, and zero clearance property line construction.
Installation Insights:
Designed for easy and versatile application, MiraCLAY GM can be used directly under reinforced concrete slabs or on various retention wall systems. It is effective in both conventional concrete wall installations and more complex structures like shotcrete retention walls. The product’s installation involves ensuring the substrate is clean, sound, and smooth, followed by overlapping adjoining edges and securing them as required. For properties adjacent to boundaries, MiraCLAY GM should be carried up the retaining wall to ensure comprehensive coverage and waterproofing.
Optimal Use Cases:
MiraCLAY GM is particularly effective for projects that require robust waterproofing solutions such as in the construction of underground parking structures, bridges, dams, and other critical infrastructure. Its ability to perform under hydrostatic conditions makes it suitable for complex below-grade waterproofing in challenging environments.
CCW MiraCLAY GM stands out for its comprehensive protection, ensuring structural durability against water ingress and chemical penetration, thus extending the lifespan of critical infrastructure components.
