Applications:
✔ Permanent/temporary waterproofing of construction joints exposed to:
– Groundwater
– Surface water (up to 7 bar pressure)
– Water diversion areas
✔ Potable water-safe (non-toxic formulation)

 

Key Advantages:
– Reversible swelling (500+% expansion capacity)
– Shape retention under pressure
– Non-tacky in high temperatures
– Weather-independent installation (protective coating prevents premature swelling)
– Cost-effective vs. traditional joint sealing methods
– Drinking water compatible

 

Installation Guide:
1. Surface Prep: Clean joint surfaces.
2. Adhesion:
– Apply continuously along joint centerline using concrete adhesive or aquarium-grade glue.
– For joints exceeding single-roll length: Splice sections with same adhesive.
3. Concreting: Proceed with concrete placement after waterstop installation.

Note: Protective coating dissolves upon water contact, triggering controlled swelling.
