Aussie Clay Sealant
AVM Aussie Clay Sealant is a single-component, bentonite-based detailing mastic designed for use with bentonite waterproofing systems. This easy-to-apply, highly plastic compound is composed of natural sodium bentonite clay, polymer-modified binders, and proprietary additives. It forms a strong mechanical bond and self-seals when hydrated, helping to seal joints, penetrations, terminations, and other critical transitions. Aussie Clay Sealant retains its flexibility, self-healing properties, and water-activated sealing performance even in below-grade environments and under hydrostatic pressure.
Where to Use
AVM Aussie Clay Sealant is used with the following AVM systems:
- AVM Aussie Clay Series – Including Aussie Clay, Aussie Clay PL, and Aussie Clay Composite systems
- Any compatible bentonite-based waterproofing system requiring detailing mastic for seams, penetrations, or transitions
Key Features
- Self-Sealing & Water-Activated — Expands in the presence of water to seal gaps and prevent water ingress.
- Flexible Detailing — Conforms to irregular shapes, penetrations, and substrate transitions with ease.
- Durable and Weather-Resistant — Maintains performance under backfill, hydrostatic pressure, and temperature fluctuations.
- Cost-Effective System — Provides long-term protection at a low installed cost by eliminating complex detailing accessories.
