Kemper System has been focussing on and supporting key environmental goals for many years.
Environmental protection, environmentally-friendly production and the careful handling of resources are the basic principles of our corporate philosophy.
Wherever possible, research and development at Kemper System focuses on replacing crude oil-based raw materials with renewable ones. The product range is being continuously evolved in accordance with international standards.
Sustainable liquid-applied waterproofing – Is that really possible? Yes! Kemperol 2K-PUR is a solvent-free waterproofing systems applied in liquid form that meet all environmental requirements.
Roughly 80% of the applied polyols (resins) in Kemperol 2K-PUR are obtained from the seeds of the tropical castor plant (Ricinus communis) a renewable resource. And the polyester reinforcing fleece used in all our waterproofing systems contains up to 25% recycled material.
Other products within our range of waterproofing solutions, such as Kemperdur TC surfacing or Kempertec D-Primer, are also solvent-free and produced from renewable resources.
Green roofs and living walls have significant advantages for climate control, noise protection and heat insulation. They protect against UV rays and offer an additional habitat for flora and fauna.
Kemperol waterproofing is root resistant without additional protective layers. The homogenous waterproofing, which bonds to the substrate, provides permanent protection against moisture penetration damage and is an ideal base layer for green roof and living wall projects.
The proven longevity of Kemperol waterproofing in use, is also a key aspect in terms of sustainability. It is a long term solution that will continue to be effective long after other systems have failed.
When carrying out renovation work, application usually occurs directly onto the old substrate, avoiding costly removal and transport off site to become landfill.
This can also have the added benefit of reducing the duration and cost of your project.
Kemper System is fully committed to the conservation of natural resources. For many years, the existing environmental management system in accordance with DIN ISO 14001 has been guaranteeing regulated environmental processes, providing an excellent framework for environmental protection. All our production sites operate a fully automated and fully closed process that keeps waste and emissions to a minimum.
