CONSTRUCTION JOINT SYSTEM
SWELLABLE BENTONITE WATER STOP
Swellable bentonite water stop tape for sealing vertical and horizontal structural joints, which are exposed constantly or temporarily to water. In contact with water, the reaction of the tape is activated and the tape starts swelling. Due to the swelling pressure in the construction joint, leads to penetration into cracks, joints, cracks, cavities, and seals the area.
CRYSTALLINE METAL WATER STOP
Crystalline metal water stop consists of a special metal plate encapsulated in an active coating that reacts with water when embedded in the fresh concrete to provide a waterproof construction joint. It is creating a physical barrier whilst active coating reacts with water in the concrete to form non-soluble crystals which support the natural self-healing process of the concrete to seal cracks and eliminate water ingress.
- Environmentally friendly
- Waterproofed against pressurized water.
- Good bonding to the concrete.
- Non-toxic – ideal for potable water tanks.
- Can be used for both vertical and horizontal applications.
- Permanently waterproof and active throughout the lifetime of the structure (Reliable and durable).
- Saving time over traditional water stops.
- Protects against water, chloride, sulfate ingress, and chemical attack.
- No special installation tools are required.
- No welding is required.
- Fast and reliable swelling performance.
- Easy application and saving time over traditional water stops.
- Not dimensionally stable, therefore it has a high level of efficiency.
- Suitable in wet and dry cycle areas.
Used for waterproof vertical or horizontal structural joints:
- Building foundations, slabs, retaining walls, basements, precast panels, tunnels, and lift pits.
- Storage water tanks, swimming pools, water treatment tanks, sewage, and manholes.
- Concrete pipes.
- Other similar construction joints.
