DESCRIPTION
PVC water stops are produced from the mixture of PVC resin, stabilizers, hardeners, plasticizers and other various agents and shaped in extruders under certain heat and pressure.
A waterstop is an element of a concrete structure, intended to prevent the passages of fluids (such as water) when embedded in and running continuously through concrete joints.
USING AREAS:
Waterstops are grouped in two distinct categories. Waterstops for joints without any movement of the adjoint concrete sections (construction cold joints) and waterstops for joints with movement of the adjoint concrete sections (dilation joints).
- Irrigation channels
- Waste treatment units
- Water regulators
- Subways
- Swimming pools
- Water reservoirs
- Tunnels
- Hydro power plants
- Viaducts
- Conservation walls
- Floorings and foundations
- Industrial buildings
- Sewage systems
When needed PVC water stops should welded to each other by hot air welding. Special shaped parts like “plus shaped”, “L shaped” or “T shaped” can be made by us upon request.
PVC water stops should not be punctured when attaching to the concrete, instead, types with already punctured at the factory or types with ratchet should be prefered. The channels and shapes on the water stops is designed to lenghten the water way.
