PVC Waterstop
Description

Flexible PVC (Thermoplastic) waterstops to seal construction and expansion

joints in concrete structures.
Various types of PVC-Waterstop are available in different sizes depending on their
intended use.

Uses

The waterstops are used in concrete for the sealing of construction and
expansion joints and differs to actual sealants in ; that they are installed at
the time of concrete placing, taking up their function as soon as the
concrete has hardened such as reservoirs, water towers dams, spillways,
canals, swimming pools, sewage tanks etc. Depending on the type of the
waterstop, it can be used for construction and very small expansions joints
or, for joints of medium to large expansion.

Specification

PVC-Waterstops have been tested according to ASTM Specification

D-412/D-624/D-747/D-2240/D-792/CRD C-572.

Advantages

- Multirib sections of the tortuous path principle.

- High quality PVC for long durability.
- Suitable for high water pressure.
- Many different types and sizes available.

Application

According to common practice on site, the waterstops are placed to

suit the concrete's movements either at expansion or construction
joints. The connections are done by heated-blade welding technique,
and preformed junctions pieces are available. Please ask for technical
assistance in selecting the right type for the construction.
The waterstops are made from thermoplastic PVC and can therefore
be welded. The cutt sections subject to welding are heated up by
means of the welding blade until the material gets plastic, and then
pressed together. The welding temperature has to be in the range of
200-250 Deg. Celsius.
