HydroBond 314 Bentonite Granules – Detailing for HydroBond Pre-Applied Membranes
HydroBond 314 Bentonite Granules are naturally occurring sodium bentonite granules designed for detailing the Newton HydroBond System, particularly where HydroBond 403 Plus terminates at piled walls, support piles, pile caps, and penetrations through the membrane.
Sodium bentonite is a highly absorbent clay that swells up to 15 times its original size upon contact with water, forming a dense, self-sealing, impermeable barrier. When confined within a joint, this swelling action creates a high-resistance waterproofing seal, effectively preventing water ingress in otherwise difficult-to-detail areas.
Key Benefits:
✅ Hydrophilic swelling up to 15x its size – Creates a robust waterproof barrier
✅ High resistance to water pressure – Ensures long-lasting protection
✅ Easily applied by hand – No specialist equipment required
✅ Cost-effective – Lower cost than modern polymer-based products
✅ Naturally occurring material – Sustainable and environmentally friendly
✅ Retains elasticity without embrittlement – Long-term durability
✅ Weather-resistant installation – Can be applied in almost any condition
✅ VOC-free – Safe for indoor and outdoor use
✅ Proven track record – Effective in new and remedial waterproofing projects worldwide
Typical Applications:
✔ Sealing joints in Type A & B waterproofing systems within reinforced concrete structures
✔ Sealing penetrations – Pipes, sleeves, columns, and posts that pass through Newton HydroBond Systems
✔ Detailing between horizontal & vertical HydroBond 403 Plus applications at piled walls & irregular interfaces
✔ Creating an inverted fillet termination at horizontal HydroBond 403 Plus interfaces
✔ Sealing cored holes in Type B construction when combined with suitable Newton repair mortars
