Waterstops Overview
An element of a concrete structure, intended to provide water tightness when embedded in and running through concrete joints. Waterstops are frequently manufactured from extruded plastics such as: PVC or thermoplastic elastomeric rubber (TPER); formed metal such as: stainless steel, copper, or carbon steel; or extruded thermosets such as: natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, or neoprene rubber.
| PRODUCT | DESCRIPTION | TYPE | SIZE & YIELD | DATA SHEET |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supercast Hydrofoil | PVC waterstops cast into and across in-situ concrete joints to prevent ingress of or loss of water through joints in water retaining or water excluding structures. SUPERCAST HYDROFOIL is centrally placed for both construction and expansion joints. | PVC | Available in a range of widths from 150 mm to 250 mm in rolls 12 and 15 lm long. | Supercast PVC Waterstops Range Technical Data |
| Supercast Rearguard S | PVC waterstops cast into and across in-situ concrete joints to prevent ingress of or loss of water through joints in water retaining or water excluding structures. REARGUARD S is externally placed for both construction and expansion joints. | PVC | Available in a range of widths from 150 mm to 250 mm in rolls 12 and 15 lm long. | Supercast PVC Waterstops Range MSDS |
| Supercast SW | Typical use areas include joints between old to new concrete, where the designed waterstop has been forgotten or omitted, or in difficult bends and angles where the flat profile of a PVC waterstop cannot work. SUPERCAST SW 10 is used where there is reinforecement crossing the joint. SUPERCAST SW 20 is used where there is no continuous reinforcement. | Swellable | SW 20 packed in rolls of 5 meters long. 10 rolls per carton | Supercast SW Technical Data |
| Supercast SW X | SUPERCAST SW X can be used as an adhesive for bonding Supercast SW strips or as a problem-solving hydrophillic in difficult access areas (eg. sealing between rough surfaces, around rubber and plastic waterstops prior to concreting, etc.) Expansion of the product on contact with water creates a positive pressure against the faces of the concrete joint, thus preventing the passage of water. | Swellable | SW X is supplied in 310 ml gu cartridges. | Supercast SWX Technical Data |
| Superstop | A multiple composite waterstop which combines the strength and toughness of conventional waterstop with the self-sealing ability of bentonite. | Swellable |
