But with so many options on the market, how do you know which products will truly perform? One of the best ways to ensure quality is to look for ICC-approved materials. At <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decoproducts.com\/\">Deco Products Inc<\/a><\/strong>., we take pride in offering top-tier waterproofing sealers, including Deco 20 Seal, Deco 20 DampProof, and Deco 20 Penetrating Clear Sealer (PCS)\u2014all of which are ICC-approved to meet the highest industry standards.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is the ICC and Why Is It Important?<\/h2>\n<p>The International Code Council (ICC) is a third-party, unbiased organization that reviews building materials to ensure they meet strict industry standards. The ICC evaluates products based on ASTM (American Standard Test Method) requirements, which means each material is tested to prove it does what it claims to do.<\/p>\n<p>Having ICC approval isn\u2019t just a label\u2014it\u2019s a stamp of trust. It means that an independent organization has thoroughly inspected the manufacturing process and verified that the products are safe, effective, and reliable. Manufacturers with ICC-approved products, like Deco Products, go through audits twice a year to ensure they are consistently producing top-quality materials. This means when you use an ICC-approved product, you\u2019re getting something that meets the highest standards every time.<\/p>\n<h2>The Deco Products Advantage: ICC-Approved Waterproofing Sealers<\/h2>\n<p>At Deco Products, we don\u2019t just sell sealers\u2014we manufacture them with quality, durability, and compliance in mind. Our Deco 20 Seal, Deco 20 DampProof, and Deco 20 Penetrating Clear Sealer (PCS) are all ICC-approved, meaning they\u2019ve been tested and verified to work as promised.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decoproducts.com\/new-foundations\/deco-20-seal-waterproofing\/\">Deco 20 Seal<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>A high-performance waterproofing membrane that utilizes an advanced hybrid acrylic resin.
