Arcacem Basement and Cellar is a waterproof cementitious tanking system which is highly resistant to hydrostatic pressure whether it is applied from the inside or the outside (pressure from the outside against your building structure).

Arcacem Basement and Cellar works by blocking the capillary pore structure of the concrete surface to liquid water ingress while remaining permeable to water vapour ( which allows any entrapped moisture to escape and the struture to 'breathe').
Penetrating into the pores of the substrate, our waterproof tanking product will become one with your structure (and cannot be pushed off by water pressure).

The waterproof tanking system Arcacem Basement and Cellar does not add heavy weight and additional thickness to your existing structure (3mm) while proving extremely resistant to high hydrostatic pressure.
