Adcor 500S Hydrophilic Water Bar 25x20mm 5mtr

A conformable, swellable polymer/butyl rubber waterstop strip that expands in contact with water. When fully encapsulated by poured concrete, the expansive forces form a seal against concrete faces. The seal resists hydrostatic pressure, stopping water from entering sub-structures. It has been specifically developed to provide higher performance.

Features:

• Controlled volumetric expansion, reduces risk of concrete spalling.
• Conformable, can be installed onto a variety of irregular substrates.
• Superior performance from controlled, reproducible, volumetric expansion.
• Cohesive strength maintained after volumetric expansion.
• Malleable and plastic, enabling easy application to a variety of concrete profiles.
• Retains cohesive strength at both original and expanded volume.
• No need for protective steel mesh.
• Resists at least 6Bar (60mtr) hydrostatic pressure.
• Volumetric expansion min 100% in cement water.
• Simple overlap jointing on site.
• Reproducible swell after wet/dry cycling.
• Can be easily joined to GCP PVC waterstops at movement joints.
• Unaffected by freeze/thaw cycling.

Applications:

• Construction joints in in-situ concrete structures.
• Casting new concrete against existing.
• Floor slabs cast against diaphragm retaining walls, steel sheet piles and secant piled walls.
• Joints between floor slabs and pile caps.
• Pipe penetrations through floors and walls.
• Remedial ‘breaking out’ of concrete.
