Waterproofing Membranes

Flexible waterproofing membranes offer perfect protection against water penetration into walls and floors in basements, bathrooms, and swimming pools and on balconies and terraces. This protection is the prerequisite not only for sustainable and durable construction, but also for a pleasant and healthy living environment.  

Technical expertise and formulation know-how 

Our polymer dispersions and redispersible powders offer a high-differentiation potential for a broad range of cementitious as well as ready-to-use waterproofing systems. Our strong technical expertise and formulation know-how enable customers to achieve formulations that provide outstanding workability and excellent physical properties.
