Eco-Friendly Waterproofing Agent

KCM's Eco-Friendly Waterproofing Agent

Ultimate Containment, Superior Sustainability

In critical environmental projects like landfills, the most important task is to prevent harmful contaminants from escaping. A waterproofing agent, or liner, must create an impermeable barrier to stop leachate from polluting groundwater and the surrounding ecosystem. For years, the industry standard has been bentonite, but it comes with significant drawbacks.

The Problems with Conventional Bentonite

High Cost and Import Dependency

Bentonite is expensive (approximately 300,000 KRW/ton) and is primarily imported from the United States, India, and China.

High Construction Costs

It requires a very thick application layer—a minimum of 50 cm—which significantly increases material and construction expenses.

Underwhelming Performance

Despite the high cost, the actual waterproofing performance of bentonite often falls short of expectations.

KCM's Breakthrough Solution

KCM has engineered a revolutionary waterproofing agent that solves these challenges. Our advanced material is composed of a cement-less binder that utilizes industrial byproducts like fly ash and blast-furnace slag, combined with a high-performance polymer resin.

 

This innovative approach not only promotes a circular economy but also delivers performance that sets a new global standard.

Unmatched Performance and Safety

Our waterproofing agent doesn’t just meet international standards; it vastly exceeds them, offering a level of security and durability that conventional materials cannot match.
