Waterproofing

Bitumen has unique waterproofing properties, due largely to its impermeability and lack of reactivity, which make it an ideal sealant for many civil engineering, property and DIY waterproofing applications including:

Hydraulic	Property & DIY
Canal Lining	Waterproofing blockwork & concrete structures
Reservoir Lining	Waterproofing Mastic flooring
Dam Construction	Waterproofiing Mastic flooring
Sea Wall Construction	Treatment of water tanks
Coastal Groynes
Lining Leisure Lakes
>> Dams, Reservoirs & Canals >> Shell Tixophalte	>> For Home & Property >> Shell Flintkote

One great advantage of asphalt is that it can be laid on a dam or reservoir face in a continuous manner, thus eliminating joints which can become points of weakness and leaks. Shell Tixophalte can be applied under water making it suitable for in-situ repairs where drainage is not possible.
