Adaptive Swelling
When it comes into contact with water, the material swells adaptively, actively compensating for changes in crack and joint cross-sections. Without water: back to the initial size.
Professional waterproofing solutions for tunnels, basements, dams, parking structures and infrastructure projects worldwide.
For more than 40 years, ARCAN has been developing and manufacturing high-performance waterproofing systems for professional construction repair and structural waterproofing.
Our products are used worldwide in tunnels, basements, dams, parking structures, industrial buildings and infrastructure projects.
Since 1898, we have been united by one ambition: to solve practical challenges with well-designed solutions.
Master painter Heinrich Müller founds the company, focusing on bespoke furniture and church decorations.
Development and manufacture of our own materials – swellable casting compounds, injection resins and gels.
Entire focus on the development and production of building chemistry products.
Based in Bobenheim-Roxheim, combining experience in application with our own development and manufacturing.
In our fourth generation, we develop and manufacture specialist construction chemicals for waterproofing, injection and coating.
Every structure and waterproofing task has its own specific requirements. We therefore believe in providing tailored solutions.Michaela Müller-Kaya · Managing Director and great-granddaughter of the founder
At ARCAN, innovation is driven by one clear objective: making waterproofing faster, easier and more reliable.
Every new technology we develop is designed to simplify application, maximize performance and improve efficiency on the construction site.
By reducing application complexity and increasing long-term reliability, we help contractors save time, reduce costs and achieve consistently better results.
ARCAN develops and manufactures water-reactive and adaptively swelling waterproofing systems – German expertise applied in tunnels, dams and infrastructure projects worldwide.
Our innovative technologies set new standards for durable structural waterproofing:
When it comes into contact with water, the material swells adaptively, actively compensating for changes in crack and joint cross-sections. Without water: back to the initial size.
From the injection point to the leak, the resin fills the interconnected cracks, pores and honeycombing within the structure. It uses water as a transport medium to reach even fine structures, forming a homogeneous, elastic seal.
Stops severe water ingress and cures into highly elastic, tear-resistant injection rubber. Rapid Cream is not diluted even in strong, pressurized water flow. Adaptive swelling up to +80 %.
Ready-to-use injection resins that react only within the structure, eliminating the need for mixing and the associated pot life issues.
No measuring or mixing required.
It only reacts within the structure where sealing is needed.
Work flexibly with no pot life dependent on mixing.
The resin can remain in the pump throughout the working day.
