Ecotechnology

"Ecotechnology" is registered during 2003 and from 2005 is specialized in the manufacturing of a system for hydro isolation based on bentonite compounds. It develops a wholly own technology. For the period from our incorporation till now we succeeded: to construct the manufacturing of the product "Isobent" which carries out the underground isolation and protects the construction foundations. We aim to present and prove the parameters and the advantages of the product, to ensure consulting for our customers, technical assistance and mounting of the hydro isolation material taking into consideration the technical parameters of the project and conforming with its specific features. The production facility and the offices of the company are placed in the Northern industrial zone of the city of Sofia, on the M&M - "Militzer and Munch BG" terminal. The company works with an ambitious and motivated team of engineers, specialists and workers. The production list includes hydro isolation materials like Isobent, Isofix, Hydrostop and Hydroprevent. From the beginning of 2008 the company "Ecotechnology" has expanded its production facility, by putting into operation a new machine for "Isobent" production. The firm offers its clients "ISOBENT- LARGE" and "ISOBENT-HARD". With the idea of retaining the confidence of its customers, as well as with the aim of winning more, "Ecotechnology" has proven the observation of the requirements of the international standard and has been awarded a Quality insurance certificate ISO 9001-2008, as well as the CE marking, which demonstrates the compliance of qualitative indices of Ecotechnology’s products with European standards. Our products are tested in leading European laboratories, as “Rosgeotest” (Russia). Our goals: - continuously to modernize the production and to modify the products in order to achieve a complete and guaranteed system for hydro isolation even under the most unfavorable conditions. - to make popular the products and to expand their market share. In the rudiments of our production underlie natural materials. We do not offer just a merchandise but a system which protects safely and securely the construction foundations. Products Isobent - K The material Isobent is manufactured in sheets with standard width of 1.15 m and length of 5.0 m bound on rolls. The material is packed on pallets in lots of 35 pieces. "ISOBENT" is spread straight over the concrete put under or the earth fundament. The sheets are not stuck on the fundament but they are laid freely over it. The separate sheets of membrane overlap at min. 10 cm in longitudinal direction and at min. at 15 cm in transverse direction. After arranging and laying of every sheet, "ISOBENT", on the places of overlapping of the sheets a special bentonite strew "ISOFIX" is spread in quantity of min. 0.3 kg/m. The loose bentonite strew guarantees the water impregnation of the overlapping. Isobent - Large "Isobent - Large" is hydro isolating membrane with dimensions to be chosen by the customer (max. 5 m width / 40 m length). The quantity of bentonite in square meter could be from 3,5 to 5 kg/m. Main areas for applications of this product are channels, ponds, depots for industrial waste, ground protection against pollution and etc. Isobent - Hard "Isobent - Hard"a geosynthetic bentonite membrane represents a 2 in 1 product. On one the hand the product acts as Isobent – K, and on the other- additionally spread paste layer increases its waterproofing action. "Isobent - Hard" has a higher stability of sea- and electrolyte-active water. It is appropriate for hydroisolation of buildings which are in contact or close to the seaside. Paste Ti-zero "TI-ZERO" is a bentonite paste, which is used for insulation of vertical surfaces providing for a better stickiness and adhesion of Isobent to concrete. Paste "TI-ZERO" creates a second layer of hydroisolation and increases many times the reliability of "Isobent". "TI-ZERO" is manufactured by mixing bentonite with appropriate additions.. Before usage "TI-ZERO" has to be diluted with water in proportion 1:5 until achieving a paste-like mixture which has to be laid equally, on the places chosen for hydroisolation. The product is to be used in industrial, civil and hydro technical construction. Hydrostop Hydrostop a hydro isolating self rising stripe – a product which is designed to guarantee water impermeability of working joints in construction structures. When in contact with water, the bentonite clay hydrates and increases vastly its volume. The obtained gel generates pressure in restricted spaces which reduces the water impermeability even in ages and cracks in the concrete. In order to achieve full moisture sealing and isolation "HYDROSTOP" in the form of a stripe is mounted in joints in foundations and walls (concrete, metal) of constructions sites. During mounting it is necessary not to allow any disturbing of the continuity of the stripe laying. The hydro isolating bentonite stripe has to be laid in joints with a concrete cover of min. 8 cm due to its rising and corresponding pressure in all directions. The stripe fixing to concrete and metal is executed with steel nails on every 30-40 cm in order to keep it away from coming out of place by concrete laying and for good contact with the concrete. HYDROPREVENT To solve the hydroinsulation problems arisen because of the effect of some local factors by the hydroinsulation of different surfaces, was developed the sealing elastic membrane "Hуdroprevent”. It is a ready-made elastic liquid suspension produced on the base of acrylic polymer /liquid rubber/, fillers and sycatives. HYDROPREVENT + "Hydroprevent +" represents a sealing membrane with higher percent content of main component, which increases its elasticity and hardness to and improves its adhesion to concrete. The main application – the hydrotechnical construction. HYDROPREVENT JOINT "Hydroprevent - Joint" is a waterproofing elastic membrane, which is used for isolation of dilatation joints. It has linear expansion of 150 %. ECO-INJECT - INJECTING BENTONITE The injecting bentonite is a specially modified bentonite suspension designed to fill gaps, cracks and caverns on purpose to stop the water. Eco-inject use the properties of bentonite to increase considerably its volume upon contact with water. Тhe injected suspension in closed area create a tension and become impenetrable for subterranean, atmospheric, sea- and electrolyte- active water. The injecting of the suspension is performed by pressure vessel, through compressed air. Application: - Waterproofing of lift-shafts, basements, subterranean parts of buildings. - Waterproofing of cracks in tunnels or fissures in their stone facing. - Waterproofing of reservoirs (ponds) or leakage through cracks and joints around canal-locks. - Filling of cracks in dykes and canals. - Encapsulation of cracks in foundations of buildings.
