Protective film should not be used as an insulating layer. The use of even several layers of protective film cannot replace construction film in accordance with the construction law.

Ecobud/Ecopar films are not construcion films.

Protective film under the lean concrete will not protect it from moisture from the ground, but it will prevent the flow of bleeding water milk into the sand and gravel mix.

• as protection against the effects of external factors such as: dust, water
• for securing work stations, building materials, and excavations
• it can be used for temporary protection of thermal and acoustic insulation against moisture
• temporary protection of agricultural produce

When securing construction works in attics, it is better to use a yellow protective film for the comfort of work. The yellow film may make the room brighter and it will heat up less than when using black protective film.

LDPE regranulate is a material that results from the processing of polyethylene products. The resulting raw material is used for the production of subsequent products. The use of polyethylene regranulate is basically unlimited – it can be used to produce both machine elements and simple shopping bags. Below we will try to show some typical applications of this type of regranulate.

Definitely YES, by producing using our LDPE regranulates, we give waste a second life.

The product we offer to our customers is granulate obtained by recycling LDPE waste. It is the basis for the production of various types of foil, plastic packaging, stretch, pipes and buckets.

The production of our Contalen regranulate is in line with the concept of the Circular Economy, aimed at the reasonable use of raw materials and reducing the negative impact on the natural environment.

Real benefits of recycling plastics:

• reducing CO2 emissions by up to 90% and having a positive impact on climate change
• best alternative to fossil raw materials
• reducing dependence on natural resources (natural gas, oil)
• limiting the release of plastic waste to the natural environment
• no combustion or storage of plastics leading to the release of poisonous toxins and gases
• wide use of recyclates from food contact containers to aesthetic automotive components
• setting trends and strongly advocating environmental protection leading to legislative changes, the new PCR directive and Extended Producer Responsibility
• traceability, standardisation, regulated standards and transparency regarding the processing of plastic waste
• creating new chains of cooperation and values
• development of new technologies, automation and process-oriented activities

MFI – Melt Flow Index is a number expressing the amount of thermoplastic material flowing through a circular nozzle with a predetermined size: within a certain time, under a given pressure and at a given temperature.

Due to the type of raw material from which the LDPE regranulate is obtained, it is possible to separate a clean product and a straw product. Straw LDPE regranulate is made of LDPE film waste. Clean LDPE regranulate is one that was made of better quality products (neither damaged nor contaminated). It is then used to produce films for plants, plastic containers for cosmetics, or transparent shopping bags. These products can be transparent or have a specific, nice colour. The most common colors are black, red, green, yellow and blue. An example of a good-quality product is Contalen regranulates (more information at contalen-recycling.com). These are polyethylene regranulates that are durable, light, cheap, resistant to mechanical and thermal damage, as well as suitable for transport and storage in various conditions.

LDPE regranulates are made of previously cleaned and segregated waste, brought to a loose form. Grinding the products takes place in special machines that dry them thoroughly at the same time. The quality of the produced LDPE regranulates is determined not only by the advancement of the machines used in production, but also by the raw material from which the polyethylene regranulate is made. The better the base material, the better the final quality of the regranulate. The way the processing plants work is also important: the ability to properly filter, and sufficiently dry the raw materials. Only professional companies are able to provide a product that complies with the design specified by the customer.

LDPE regranulates offer almost unlimited possibilities of use. They can be used to create ecological products, fit into the circular economy, and reduce the final production costs. If you find an appropriate supplier of good-quality regranulate, you will obtain a semi-finished product that is much cheaper than the plastic manufactured “from scratch”.

1. DURABILITY
   The mounting strip for dimpled membranes is made of plastic (PVC or HDPE) resistant to weather and mechanical conditions. It is also chemically resistant to substances naturally occurring in the soil and used in construction.
2. HELPS TO KEEP THE MEMBRANE WATERPROOF
   Thanks to the use of a mounting strip for dimpled membranes, they can maintain the mechanical properties of the membrane declared by the manufacturers.
3. PROTECTS THE DIMPLED MEMBRANE AGAINST MECHANICAL DAMAGE
   The mounting strip for the dimpled membranes presses the membrane to the foundation during its assembly, which is its perfect protection against mechanical damage.
4. PROPER PRESSURE OF THE MEMBRANE
   Due to the appropriate stiffness and profiling of the dimpled membrane, the mounting strip for the membrane ensures optimal pressing of the membrane to the foundation.
5. PREVENTS FUNGAL DECAY OF WALLS
   Mounting strip for dimpled membranes insulates the upper part of the membrane, which prevents water flowing down the wall from getting between the foundation and the membrane, effectively increasing the drainage efficiency, which protects the building against fungal decay.
6. PREVENTS DAMAGE TO THERMAL INSULATION AND FACADE
   The mounting strip for dimpled membranes prevents water and sand from penetrating between the insulation and the wall insulation, thus preventing damage to the facade and thermal insulation.
7. PROTECTS THE FOUNDATION
   The mounting strip for the dimpled membranes prevents the penetration of contaminants between the membrane and the foundation, ensuring free air movement and evaporation of excess moisture at the same time.
8. IMPROVES THE LIFE OF THE DIMPLED MEMBRANE
   The mounting strip for the dimpled membrane, thanks to the attachment of the membrane during construction, reduces the possibility of bending, breaking and other ways of damaging the membrane by mechanical or atmospheric factors.
9. EASY ASSEMBLY
   The mounting strip for dimpled membranes is properly profiled so that its assembly is easy and effective. The upper part (25 mm), which has holes for fastening drilled every 16 cm, is used to fix the strip to the wall. The lower part (45 mm) covers the membrane, holding it and pressing it down properly.
10. AESTHETIC FINISH
    The mounting strip for dimpled membranes is an aesthetic finishing element, durable, made of resistant material, lasting many years.

In Poland, westerly winds prevail and when they blow when it rains, water hits the walls of the building and runs down their surface. It is easy for it to get under the dimpled membrane, if you do not install a strip for this membrane there first, which will close this space from the top.

The mounting strip for the dimpled membranes insulates the upper part of the membrane, which prevents water flowing down the wall from reaching the foundations, which protects the building against fungal decay.

The strip for securing the membrane is one of the cheapest insulations during the construction of the house.
On construction sites, it can often be seen that where no protective strip was used, the drainage gap between the dimpled membrane and the foundation was already clogged with sand and other debris by the time construction was completed and the building was put into service. Such a situation may significantly affect the condition of the foundation wall. As a consequence, it may be necessary to replace the entire foundation insulation, which severely increases the investment costs.

Dimpled membrane nails have special sealing washers, thanks to which a properly mounted nail creates a tight connection of the foundation membrane with the surface to which it is mounted. Moreover, the nails are made of hardened carbon steel, electro-galvanised and have a conical head and a rolled shank.
