Hello, I would like to know when it makes sense to use a "white tank" or "black tank" in house construction?!
Kind regards

Which type of tank is the right one for which kind of waterproofing?
In waterproofing technology, two basic types are currently distinguished:
Sheet waterproofing, where materials applied to the structure on the earth-facing side prevent moisture penetration. Since bituminous products were almost exclusively used in the past, this type has become commonly known as the Black Tank. More recently, waterproofing materials based on plastic have also been used.
Rigid waterproofing, where the supporting structure itself, in addition to its primary load-bearing function, also carries out the waterproofing tasks. To produce the required watertight concrete, blast furnace cements are often used, resulting in very light-colored building materials. This appearance has given the so-called “concrete section waterproofing method” the name White Tank. It should be noted that additional earth-facing renders and slurries can also perform waterproofing functions. However, this method is hardly widespread or is used as a supplement to the White Tank.
Another well-known but somewhat forgotten and now rediscovered form of waterproofing is bentonite waterproofing. This is a sheet waterproofing method where the building components in contact with moisture, such as walls and floors, are wrapped on the earth side in bentonite panels. Bentonite is a naturally occurring highly swelling clay that, even in thin layers, provides strong waterproofing against water. Due to its brown color, this type of waterproofing is logically called the Brown Tank. While in the USA buildings have been protected against groundwater using bentonite for many years, this material has so far mainly been used in landfill construction here. Only with the idea of manufacturing and installing bentonite in sheets has this material gained renewed importance for building waterproofing.
This product is manufactured by prehydrating (pre-wetting) bentonite. Through a patented process, an extremely dense, plastic bentonite clay is produced. The material has, in addition to very high swelling capacity, very good mechanical durability. Its sealing effect remains even after repeated freezing, thawing, and wet/dry cycles. It is resistant to chemical attack and is biologically non-degradable.
