The number of waterproofing materials and their composition grows continuously. Their appliance directly to the drain body - predominantly made of PP or PE - is not possible as these materials show bad adhesive attributes or do not bond to other materials respecitvely. They just can be compounded by welding using similar materials.
As leading producer of sophisticated drains HL concentrates on providing secure and reliable waterproofing methods you can trust on. In practice this means to find and test materials which can durably be compounded to the drain as well as to the used waterproofing material.
