WHAT IS IT? DINCEL is a waterproof polymer formwork for water tanks and walls/columns. Available in custom lengths between 1.8m and 8m. 3
DINCEL WALL MAIN PROFILES 200mm Up to 30 storey buildings 110mm Up to 8 storey buildings 4
CURVED WALLS OF ANY HEIGHT AND LENGTH WITHOUT JOINTS 5
PERMANENT POLYMER-FORMWORK TECHNOLOGY FOR CONCRETE WALLS AND COLUMNS Building Walls Basements, lift-stair shafts, party-corridor-façade walls. Retaining Walls Basement walls below permanent water table, earth retaining, mining, erosion control, river embankment protection, sea walls. Storage Tanks Water (detention, retention, stormwater pits), fish farming tanks, waste water, sewerage, sludge, petrol, manure, grain and contaminated soil. Special Uses Bushfire Prone Areas, bund walls, coastal protection. 6
KEY BENEFITS DISTINGUISHES DINCEL FROM CONVENTIONAL WALLS Waterproof, Airtight. Crack and joint-free. Avoids water damage, dampness, rot, fungi, voids for vermin/bacteria growth, condensation. VOC below detection level. Superior fire/smoke properties. 100 year life, Durability Recycling Sustainability. Energy saving (up to 90% less steel and 50% less cement). Strength for magnitude 9 earthquakes, hurricanes and cyclones. Faster. Lighter and safer to install. Cost effective. 7

DURABILITY Dincel-Wall can be used in the following: Acid-Sulphate Soils Sea Water Septic Plants Waste Water Treatment Chemical Storage Biological Attacks Grain Storage Poultry and Piggeries (high uric acid) Petroleum Tanks Diesel Fuel NO CRACKS NO CORROSION NO CONCRETE CANCER 32
HOUSING AFTER FLOODING Efflorescence and cracking are major issues with masonry construction. Long drying time is required before any work takes place. Rising damp further increases drying time. Fungal growth hard to avoid. Very hard to save conventional structures made out of timber/veneer, masonry and concrete. Most likely insurance refusals. DIFFICULT TO SELL FLOOD AFFECTED HOMES EVEN 10 YEARS AFTER FLOODING. 33
STRUCTURAL SAFETY IT IS NOW A RECOGNISED FACT THAT THE SAFEST AND MOST ECONOMICAL RESIDENTIAL BUILDING SOLUTION IS LOAD BEARING CONCRETE WALLS It has been confirmed by the University of Technology Sydney that DINCEL-WALL IS ADEQUATE FOR UP TO MAGNITUDE 9 EARTHQUAKES 34
BUILDING CODES REQUIRE ELABORATE AND TIME CONSUMING AND COSTLY DETAILS BETWEEN STRUCTURE AND INFILL WALLS OF SLAB-COLUMN SYSTEMS WALL-FLOOR DETAIL COLUMN-SLAB SYSTEM WALL-COLUMN DETAIL 35
IS IT SAFE? Non Toxic, Inert Material. Heavy Metal Stabiliser/Plasticiser Free. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Below Detection Level. Group 1 Material, No Fire Limitation without any protection. Much lower than the building authority s smoke threshold. Lighter, No Sharp Edges. 100 Years Life; 100% Recyclable. Suitable for POTABLE WATER, fish farming. DINCEL POLYMER HAS NO FIRE RESTRICTIONS TO BE USED IN ANY BUILDING HEIGHT. 36
RECYCLABILITY & WASTE MANAGEMENT MANUFACTURING 100% Recyclability END OF BUILDING LIFE 95% Recyclability: 95% of Dincel-Wall use do not need to incorporate horizontal reinforcement which allows simple crushing and recycling of Dincel- Polymer, concrete infill and vertical steel (if any) PLANET EARTH CONSTRUCTION Construction waste is minimised: by providing as per order lengths of Dincel-Forms. off-cuts, if any, can be re-used. the use of timber and related waste is totally eliminated when Dincel is used. 37
WALL MADE WITH DINCEL OFF-CUTS 38
AFFORDABILITY COST EFFICIENCY SPEED Installation speed workplace safety. Co-ordination of trades Not affected by wet weather conditions Faster than column-slab system having infill walls. MATERIAL COST SAVING Less cement/concrete and steel in typical floor slabs and transfer levels. Eliminates conventional footings and waterproofing costs. Reduced waste and cleaning costs. Reduced maintenance costs. 39

Eliminates the risk of accidents due to wall formwork stripping. Eliminates the risk of electrocution. Eliminates the need for scaffolding and falling from heights. Eliminates scaffolding s material loading. 44
SCAFFOLDING? NOT REQUIRED WITH DINCEL-WALLS 45
CONCRETE QUALITY 46
COST EFFECTIVE & BETTER PERFORMANCE CONCRETE Eclipse Apartments, Canberra Holcim Concrete 50% less cement replaced by fly-ash/sand. 18 Mpa strength at 28 days. 32 Mpa strength at 120 days and increasing. Better quality, increased strength, fire resistance, workability, less cement/additives, i.e. cheaper concrete. Fly-ash creates porous concrete which does not raise any concrete cancer issue when used with WATERPROOF Dincel. The reason for minimum 20 Mpa structural concrete is CONCRETE CANCER. WATERPROOF Dincel eliminates concrete cancer. 47
