Water is a public good worthy of protection and is therefore monitored by the state to protect against adverse changes, such as pollution. The Water Resources Act is a key instrument for regulating and controlling the use of water. The storage, filling and transfer of substances hazardous to water generally requires structural protection measures, the suitability of which must be proven.
The suitability of DUCON® as a WHG sealing layer has been proven by a general building authority approval. This means that the required structural protection measures can be implemented without the usual sealing systems (usually using organic chemicals) but, for example, with the existing concrete as a mineral composite system.
