Hydrotite Hydrophilic Waterstop

Hydrotite is the brand name for a state of the art hydrophilic waterstop with unmatched durability and water sealing capacity. Hydrotite expands as it absorbs water and fills up concrete joint gaps conforming to the gap variation, ensuring excellent sealing.

Description

Hydrotite Hydrophilic Waterstop consists of a unique combination of expanding hydrophilic materials and non-expanding chloroprene rubber, co-extruded together to form a single strip. The expanding section is blue with the non-expanding section being black. The co-extruded design means that the expansion is directed across the joint for maximum sealing performance. This expansion creates an effective compression seal within the joint, preventing the egress of water through it. Upon expansion, Hydrotite turns from a dark blue colour to a light blue colour, so that a visual inspection of the Hydrotite can be made and so the contractor can see if the Hydrotite has pre-expanded.

Advantages of Hydrotite Hydrophilic Waterstop:
