EVAC or CPE Membranes by REVESTECH vs. Asphalt Membranes

Waterproofing is a critical aspect of modern construction, and choosing the right material can mean the difference between a durable project and one prone to structural problems.

EVAC or CPE membranes represent a technological innovation that surpasses the limitations of traditional asphalt membranes. What makes EVAC or CPE membranes a superior choice?

EVAC or CPE Technology: Unmatched Efficiency

EVAC or CPE Revestech membranes (DRY and ECODRY), based on ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) technology, offer a more optimized waterproofing system compared to conventional asphalt membranes. The combination of high-quality polymers and precise engineering provides unparalleled efficiency in preventing water leaks, even in extreme weather conditions.

Flexibility and Adaptability

EVAC or CPE Revestech membranes stand out for their flexibility and ability to adapt to temperature variations and structural movements. Unlike asphalt membranes, which can become brittle over time, EVAC or CPE membranes maintain their elasticity, ensuring a long-lasting waterproof barrier that adapts to the dynamic demands of any construction.

Maximum Durability and Extensive Finishing Options

Revestech waterproofing membranes, including the DRY line and the ECODRY line, offer significantly greater durability compared to other types of waterproofing systems. In addition to this, and thanks to their material composition, they can be coated directly with mortars and tile adhesives, unlike asphalt membranes, allowing them to receive roof finishes directly on top, further extending their lifespan. This feature translates into significant savings in terms of repair and replacement costs, allowing the structure to maintain its efficiency and functionality with minimal intervention.

It’s also important to note that Revestech protected membranes support a wide range of finishing options depending on the specific needs of the project, adapting to environmental conditions and architectural design requirements. This means they are particularly well-suited for minimalist constructions or any type of cutting-edge architecture.

Lightweight and Easy Installation

With significantly less weight than asphalt membranes, EVAC or CPE membranes are easier to handle and install, reducing labor costs and improving workplace efficiency. This lightweight design does not compromise strength or durability, making EVAC or CPE membranes the ideal choice for construction projects looking to optimize resources and timelines.

Sustainability and Environmentally Friendly Installation

With our line of sustainable membranes, ECODRY, we have developed a product with ideal performance through compounding and reactive extrusion, transforming circular economy materials into high-performance polymers. ECODRY is an eco-responsible membrane composed of a high-performance thermoplastic polyolefin polymer membrane (CPE – EVA-based Circular Polymer), resulting from the transformation and treatment of circular economy raw materials, extruded onto polyester or polypropylene fibers. Today, we can say that our new membrane opens a new path towards sustainability. In addition, they hold EPD sustainability certification and CE marking according to the EN 13956:2012 standard. Our membranes not only reduce waste during manufacturing but are also 100% recyclable.

During the installation of all our membranes, no toxic fumes are released, unlike liquid applications and melting processes, as is the case with asphalt membranes.

In short, EVAC or CPE REVESTECH membranes represent an evolution in the field of waterproofing, offering a set of technical characteristics and benefits that surpass asphalt membranes. From advanced technology to a commitment to sustainability, EVAC or CPE membranes stand out as the clear choice for projects seeking excellence in waterproofing and long-term durability.
