GCP Launches SWELLPRUFE Waterproofing Membrane

architecture-design · 2026-06-11

GCP has introduced SWELLPRUFE, a new waterproofing membrane for below-grade applications that uses encapsulated bentonite technology. Designed for pre-applied and vertical post-applied conditions, it creates a bonded barrier against lateral water migration. The membrane expands up to 500 percent for self-healing and water-blocking, offering controlled swelling and dimensional stability. It is part of GCP's 6Sides+ building envelope system, targeting architects and specifiers.
