Got a waterproofing challenge?
Get in touchType B waterproofing is defined and described as: Structurally Integral - BS 8102:2022.
This method refers to waterproofing through the design and construction of the structure itself, SMR specify a range of Xypex and Hydroswell products to achieve Type B waterproofing. These include BBA approved Xypex Admix and Hydroswell Bentostrip hydrophilic water bar.
Xypex Admix C-Series is added to the concrete at the point of batching to waterproof and protect concrete from the start.
Xypex Concentrate is the most chemically active and versatile product and is used in both new build and post applied Xypex waterproofing solutions.
Ancillary products to work with Type B waterproofing installations.
Hydrophilic water bar used at construction joints and around cast in penetrations.
Thin mesh that fits snugly over Hydroswell BentoStrip for holding it in position.
Hydrophilic mastic applied to fill any voids left between Hydroswell BentoStrip and the solid surface it is sealing against.
Adhesive for attaching Hydroswell BentoStrip to sheet piles, pull out bar trays, swimming pool skimmers and other surfaces where fixing by nails is not appropriate.
Used to secure Hydroswell BentoStrip through Hydroswell BentoSteel at approximately 200mm centres.
Hydrophilic sealing compound for sealing cored penetrations, ducts and sleeves.
Impact proof and pressure resistant core with hydrophilic plug. For the internal sealing of tie bolt sleeves with an internal diameter bewteen 21.5 - 22.2mm
Hydrophilic 'donut' for the external sealing of tie bolt sleeves with an external diameter between 24 - 30mm
Fast setting, non-shrink, high bond strength hydraulic cement compound for concrete patching and repairs. Stops water flow in seconds.
