The company MASTIX SA produces and commercializes the waterproofing bands BFL-MASTIX.
THE CONCEPT
The BFL-MASTIX system is conceived to assure long term watertightness of joints, in particular adapting to the deformations in concrete structures.
CONSTITUTING ELEMENTS OF BFL-MASTIX BANDS
1/ The core
In order to adapt to structure movements, the core of the BFL-MASTIX bands is constituted of a watertight plasto-elastic, non-rotting and root-proof material. To assure watertightness, the core adheres by glueing to hard concrete and to fresh concrete by incrusted fine crushed gravel.
2/ Gravel covered surface
The gravel plays the role of an adherence bridge between the core and the fresh concrete.
3/ The gluing surface
It concerns the part of the band that is not gravel coated and serves for the gluing to a support (hard concrete, metal, asbestos-cement, sealing foils, etc.). 4/ The elastic reserve
That’s the part of the band capable to freely deform in order to absorb movements without rupture of the interface core/gravel or glued surface/support.
