  • Mar-flex. Designed to protect walls during backfill operations, Shockwave crush-resistant drainage board acts as a powerful shock absorber when compressed. Closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene foam construction absorbs pressure and bounces back to its original configuration after an impact, maintaining the ability to effectively drain water. Shockwave reduces the load factor on below-grade walls and is specially engineered for flexibility, so it expands and contracts during freeze-thaw cycles. Available in 3-foot-by-4-foot sheets. 800.498.1411.
