About our Activities: Manufacturing, research and
development, innovations, inventions and new technologies in the fields of building systems, sealants, waterproofing polymeric membranes, concepts, systems and
materials - including thermoplastic, thermoset and
bituminous roofing membranes made of various materials, such as Polyolefin (TPO) PVC, bitumen,
Polyethylene, Olefins, Polypropylene, EPDM, Polyurethane. It also
includes other sealing materials (repellents) containing sprayable polymeric emulsions,
liquid sealants/sealers sprayed by airless spraying machine, such as: bituminous and modified bitumen. YSM developed insulation
systems - concepts and materials.
The new YSM's membranes
include a stress reduction mechanism, which prevents stresses
around cracks, fissures and expansion joints, from tearing (or shortening the life span)
of a fully adhered membrane. This mechanism also prevents the typical flooding under the
free floating membrane in case of any tiny tear. These innovative membranes provide all
the appropriate properties of the conventional sealing / roofing membrane e.g., aging
resistance, high UV resistance, wind up-lift (elevation forces) resistance.
YSM holds the rights
for the Domecrete advanced building system (Heifetz system) by
being the inventor, the developer and the world licensor. (Invented by Haim Heifetz, and
by Raphael Heifetz - YSM's CEO). Domecrete is a building system for constructing building
on site, using inflatable forms.
The Domecrete building
system offers a top competitive achievement in cost-effectiveness for constructing on site
high quality constructions.
YSM developed modifications in the design and
manufacturing process of pneumatic (inflatable) forms (moulds) to offer a larger selection
of domes and curved structures and sophisticated curved constructions. Another progress
was made by developing modified concrete and mortars, including lightweight concrete,
thermal insulation (isolation) concrete and materials having an improved workability to
provide a better behavior of the concrete shell of Domecrete structures. A progress was
achieved by reduction of shrinkage and expansion stresses, caused by thermal and
constructive physical activities of the construction.
The tough requirements demanded of the
Domecrete curved strong structures were to provide better sealing solutions for the
earthquake resistant structures. The fact that many projects were built in harsh climates,
triggered the company to enlarge the R&D in order to provide concepts and materials
with better sealing properties.
The YSM team is proud of its achievements
regarding the revolutionary SRM membranes (patent pending). Raphael Heifetz, the inventor
(YSM's CEO) led the development personally together with 4 Israeli plants for polymeric
membranes. The new system will provide the manufacturer with the opportunity to offer
waterproofing membranes, with a revolutionary improved bridging ability and
single-ply membranes with more consumer and manufacturer reliable warranty.
The new sheets are designed to seal all types of
substrate, especially: roofs, subterranean walls, subterranean elements, sealing of
foundations, sealing of tanks and containers, cells, piping and various applications in
civil engineering, e.g. sealing: cabins, containers, pipes, aircrafts, fuel tanks,
reservoirs, etc. and preventing transmission of fluid under pressure from inside - outside
and vice versa as a result of cracks in the construction.
Another important progress achieved by YSM
regarding improvement of energy saving during the process of tire manufacturing that
presents a tire with an improved aging resistance properties. (patented).
YSM manufactures roof and wall sealants.
YSM provides consulting services (to firms and
manufacturers only) in the field of waterproofing and thermal insulation in
buildings.
