The advanced liquid applied bitumen-extended polyurethane waterproofing membrane HYPERDESMO®-PB-2K was used in a big construction site in Finland, for the development of a five-story car park. On the left side of this residential block, a connected car-park section has been designed to facilitate all the resident’s needs. Asphalt was chosen as the main surface in order to be suitable for hard vehicular traffic which is a kind of method that it is preferred in Finland.
Project requirements
This specific car park required a specific waterproofing solution for being used upon the concrete slabs at the beginning of the development but further to be able to successfully bonded with the asphalt.
ALCHIMICA solutions
ALCHIMICA recommended the HYPERDESMO®-PB-2K waterproofing membrane that is designed and fully tested for structural waterproofing applications, it has a strong adhesion to many types while its compatibility with asphalt secures bonding even in the most extreme mechanical forces and withstands the shock temperature when asphalt is casted. Along with GEODESMO-50, the primer that can be used successfully on both porous or non- porous substrates and has great adhesion with HYPERDESMO®-PB-2K, the project was accomplished with a great success.

Project Description
One of the best attractions in Rijeka city is the Rijeka astronomy center which it has opened in 2001. The center is repurposed second World War military fortress and represents the biggest ever investment in Croatia’s technological culture. The architectural design of the center based on a minimalistic exposed concrete structure. The astronomy center includes an observatory and a planetarium which is the only digital planetarium in Croatia. Inside the planetarium the main hall offers 50 seats where the guests can enjoy projections (live presentations) of the skyline and celestial objects or watch films on astrology and underwater world, which are displayed on an 8m diameter dome above their heads.
Project Requirements
With the building being finished entirely by concrete the construction plan included the insulation of the concrete roof and walls with insulation foam boards for achieving the best energy efficiency of the building and protect it from weathering. In that case, the project itself required an absolute waterproofing of the concrete substrate throughout the whole structure. While the sensitive electronics equipment of the astronomy center required vapor barrier protection in order to ensure its safe operation.
ALCHIMICA SOLUTIONS
To protect and waterproof the structure, HYPERDESMO®-PB-2K the highly elastic bitumen-extended polyurethane liquid membrane was used for the best humidity barrier solution. HYPERDESMO®-PB-2K with its excellent mechanical properties It offers advanced concrete roof waterproofing performance for green roofs, inverted insulation waterproofing roof applications and is considered as the industry standard in bitumen extended polyurethane liquid membranes for more than 15 years. For the priming AQUADUR was used. ALCHIMICA’s first and revolutionary water-based epoxy coating/primer which ensures the strengthening, stabilizing and sealing of concrete providing remarkable adhesion.

Project Description
This complex application installed in the 3.200 m2 roof of one of the most famous international media communication network in Doha. In an area that extreme climatic conditions occur such as high temperatures, high moisture and humidity levels, especially in the autumn period, and sandstorms which constantly push the construction materials to their operating limits especially on roofs. In addition, during heavy rains there is always the risk of unwanted water infiltration and humidity to cause considerable damage and corrosion to the metal roofs.
Project Requirements
As water and sunlight resistance are detrimental to the durability of coatings used on metal roofs, it is paramount for such project to fulfill high demands by close monitoring for highly detailed development and completion.
For the waterproofing of the metal roofs in this project, ALCHIMICA’s exposed metal roof system based on the HYPERDESMO® System was used. In this project, weathering steadily had damaged the large units of the metal roof parts and especially the cut edges causing the removal of the protective coatings and revealing the bare metal core to further corrosion. The project itself required specific requirements due to the complexities on the exposed metal roof and the corrosion problems that have been caused to the gutters and details.
ALCHIMICA SOLUTIONS
For this system, MICROSEALER-50, the low viscosity polyurethane-based primer, was used for the priming of the substrate and for the protection of the metallic roof joints and cut edges. HYPERSEAL®-EXPERT-150 was used for sealing the inner angles and gutters while reinforcement with GEOTEXTILE-50 was undertaken where needed for better future cracks protection. The HYPERDESMO®-CLASSIC was used as the main waterproofing membrane of the system and finally HYPERDESMO®-ADY-E finished the build-up system for color stability and UV protection.
PRIMER: MICROSEALER – 50
SEALANT: HYPERSEAL®-EXPERT-150
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL: GEOTEXTILE-50
MAIN MEMBRANE: HYPERDESMO®-CLASSIC
TOP COAT: HYPERDESMO®-ADY-E

In industrial areas like manufacturing units, logistics centers and warehouses, large amounts of products are stored and constantly being moved from manufacturers to retailers and vice versa. This kind of facilities require floor coating systems that withstand extreme operating conditions. The factors of constant heavy traffic along with high mechanical loads and possible chemicals contact can affect floors, making the decision of the installation of rigid floors with excellent abrasion resistance, ideal for those heavy traffic industrial floors.
Project Requirements
The subject reference project took place in the production and logistics plant of Sunlight batteries. With almost 30 years of experience in the market, Sunlight Group is a world-leading provider of industrial and advanced energy storage solutions. It has one of the most modern industrial units in Europe, in accordance with the strictest international standards which covers a total area of 200.000m², with indoors areas of more than 60.000m².
The manufacturing plant and logistics centre are located in Xanthi, northern Greece, where the company distributes its products to serve the group’s exports worldwide.
The latest expansion of their facilities, required the installation of a new flooring system that could withstand high traffic, offer high chemical resistance while maintaining a wide operating temperature window and maintaining non-slip properties.
ALCHIMICA Solutions
Our advanced industrial polyurethane cementitious flooring system was chosen to provide durability and easy maintenance in 16.000 m² of the new facilities.
In this case, our innovative non-toxic high wear and chemical resistance HYGROSMART®-PU-CEMENT-3K was used to offer the greatest resistance to any impact in the floor, handle the movement of large equipment, abrasion and aggressive chemicals.
The self-levelling HYGROSMART®-PU-CEMENT-3K with its self-levelling properties, offered ease of application along with high workability, while reducing in this way the non-operating time of the facility. In addition, with its ability to fill gaps and cavities during the application it provided an impenetrable surface, protecting from possible leaks.
