Mauritius Construction Solution: Nitocote CM210 for Water Retaining Structures
Nitocote CM210 is a two-component, polymer-modified cementitious coating designed for highly durable waterproofing. It cures into a flexible, elastomeric membrane that can bridge cracks and resist high hydrostatic pressures, making it ideal for water-retaining and water-excluding structures in Mauritius, such as potable-water tanks, basements, reservoirs, and culverts.
The coating resists 5 bar positive and 3 bar negative water pressure, making it suitable for potable water tanks, basements, wet areas, and swimming pools. Once cured, it forms a seamless, durable, impermeable layer with excellent bond strength and long-term performance.
